Note well. <br />Raise your eyes long enough <br />to look into mine. <br />I am many things <br />not so easily seen. <br />Superficial “beauty” <br />doesn't interest me. <br /> <br />Silence is not acceptance. <br />My stares are not starry but <br />coated with ice. <br /> <br />Persistence is futile. <br />This heart is not so easily plucked. <br /> <br />So think with your <br />(other) <br />head. <br />See with your soul. <br />There are a few things <br />I need you to know. <br /> <br />My words often drip <br />with a cynical sheen. <br />My eyes roll and cross. <br />Trust me, <br />I am not a prize you want. <br /> <br />I am more easily un- <br />impressed, <br />full of yearning and <br />secret despair. <br /> <br />I won't take your crap, <br />and I certainly <br />am not about to just crawl <br />into your lap. <br /> <br />And yet, <br />lies make us easily bold <br />with our truths less often told. <br />so here are <br />some things <br />I need to know: <br /> <br />How far are you willing <br />to dig? <br /> <br />The secrets of soul runs deep, <br />crusted over by time and unspoken misery. <br /> <br />Words hide secrets. <br />And secrets found beget <br />keys. <br /> <br />Keys carry jagged edges. <br /> <br />Time feeds fire. <br /> <br />Maybe that all it takes <br />to break ground. <br /> <br />To melt <br />ice. <br /> <br />If you become the soul to get <br />that far, <br />I can promise you this: <br />a kiss that's meant for meaning, truth <br />and whole-hearted bliss. <br /> <br />But who are we kidding? <br />That's not what you're interested <br />in winning. <br /> <br />So keep your cash, my friend, <br />your saccharine lines, <br />your glossy gaze. <br />I am not <br /> impressed.<br /><br />Catherine Elaine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-message-to-all-casanovas-and-creeps/
