My Compassion Liquified

A Poem on the Nature of Hindsight

Vampiric, satiric – an alchemical elixir

This will certainly fix her

My compassion liquified

feeding the look in her eye

Like a golden calf consumed

A danger disguised;

an evil does loom

**

A trail of crumbs did she eat

Only from plants never from meat

Taking the seat on her own accord

Wait to be asked?

Rather die by the sword

**

Own to rent, never to stay

Beautifully sparse like a field in may

April showers without the flowers

A story once sweet, now sour

**

As if Rapunzel without the hair

Her descent from the ivory tower

Becomes less a journey more of a snare

An insidious indictment itches incessantly

For the choice has become your destiny

**

Well, if the worst of me is what you saw

If my tales you think are tall

This deceit will cause the fall

If truth shall set one free

A single eye will only see
