perplexed

well, i have this knack, apparently, for saying the exact thing to drive a guy away. i never know what it is i say or maybe it's that they just aren't that into me, but i'm pretty sure it's something i say that causes that. for instance i was exchanging emails with this guy who said o, yr a poet? maybe you can help me find my soul, a succubus took it and put in her marsupial pouch. so i wrote this poem directly for him



the succubus didn't take your soul
nor put it back again
the things that we think take our gold
we give to, like refrain

if in a pouch you fear your soul
resides, then my advice
is make the hunt your only goal
or better, make it twice.

and when you find yourself in woods
deep and cold and dark
hunting vainly for the goods
in which you've placed your spark

you may find your treasure
is with you, all around
if you forego forms of measure
to listen for its sound.

it takes silence, and good will
it takes laughter,climbing hills
out of darkness into light
you will find your own soul's might



well, he totally deleted all his correspondence with me! i thought it had a good message but aparently NOT.

o. so. per. plexed.
