Introverted Sage

Is It

The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.
~Marcus Aurelius~

Is it really that easy to turn the other cheek?
Is it too much– to stand up for the meek?
Walking over the homeless– asleep on the streets.
On your way to a bar hop or fancy meet and greets.
Can I say bleak?
Won’t make eye contact– let alone speak.
And the stricken are the freaks?
Is that what you really believe?
 
~I.S.~

They Look

they look at you with disdain they look at you with lust they look at you with hatred they look at you with trust they think

Meeting every fantasy. Share with me your desires. Wear my Love paint it red. Walk with me when you’re tired. Waves of calm to soothe instead.
