Poem #3 - Luscious Dissenters

Oceans blue lie in regrettable dew, a hypnotizing daze
They peacefully fidget asleep on your cerulean face
Pulsating heart takes a leap, then falls in a heap
I murder my essence and anguish seeps

Fifty-six ways I can make no one happy
It’s like keeping the house of a dog-lover cat-free
Articulation is your trade, you do it so well
Prose flows out like melted honey from a shell

These days my brooding is just ode to my woe
While you float above petty grass like a doe
New dawn Juans cry out, “Divine!” in a torrent
In your world I’m a woodsman lost in the forest

I’d love to be a disenchanted boy in an ebullient garden
And soothe the cowering ruffles that wilt at your whim
It’s hard to hug a cadaverous leaf, sadly
But I scheme to navigate the labyrinth like SeƱor Wily
