I stand, like a thief, trying to pick
The lock of your privacy - your mind.
It's the knowledge of you I seek.
I am willing to take the chance
And pay in advance
For the treasures I may not find.
You hear me talk, and you watch me squirm
Under your silence, like a worm.
You play with me, like a mouse plays with a cat...
Maybe, it's all in my head.
Very nice, it looks like you took great care in the wording.
ReplyDeleteI very much like the consonance of 'pick..lock...seek.'
ReplyDeleteAnd the unexpected reversal of 'mouse plays with a cat...'
Please post some more poems.
And by the way, ever thought of writing a novel or story?
