Is it me, you want?
Aroused from my slumber...
This better be good.

Let's talk. You seem anxious
My patience is thin
Were you robbed of your dreams?
Because I was, too...

The roles are now reversed
Don't fret over change
Merely a passenger
We all ride the train.

Mindfulness with matter...
What a crock of ****
No time like the present
*smirk* See what I did?

It has been a pleasure
Please do come again.

This is different for you...without the rhyming, Oh O Scorpendous one.

You're crazy (they say) if you talk to yourself....or even your shadow (I say). That's what this struck me as. Someone talking to himself/herself or their shadow as is implied.

The italics apparently a response but the second stanza threw me some with the last line being in italics but seemed a continuation of the line just before it.

So, I admit I am confused but found it still a bit with the Scorp attitude.

Thanks,

TIMi Hendrix

There is always something in your poetry that beguiles me.
I'm sure I am not alone in this view.
Captivated..........yet again.

beguiling is the word of description, Scorpy. There are many moves between the opening gambit to final concession, but you are right - more chess than checkers. Every beginning is weak, every conclusion, definite.
