She'll Swoon

(If Touch Be True)

By John AnthonyPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

She'll swoon if touch be true.

Her intuition - radar.

Present false by split sense is the self-conscious state

Dividing the kingdom leaving many a bitter man.

Then forts built to block pain

Exclude equally joy

The face turns barren landscape

Natures' been deployed.

She tiptoes around her throbbing heart

skeptical - apprehensive -

like actors green reciting first part.

Silent - her eyes scan

Quick! Her wit can finish before one starts.

Self-deprecation is the whisper for help

when exceeded. Unheeded the heart screams -

"I'll beat until broken and bashed though quicker die I

who deems me unworthy to gush!"

We all receive what we hiddenly expect

We, at times, deaf to direct.
