Emoticons

[Guest guest]

What pray tell is the fair rate of exchange

for a soul or a smile,

what ship of fools carries the wind on your back?

Does destiny arrive on a white horse, all hero-like?

Have you decided a villain rides in front-tooth gapped?

Or lurks in the anteroom of your mind, computer-like, matrixed

and suffixed to derelictions and predilictions

predications perceived in prognostications

premonitions and admonitions regurgitated

amputated in hallowed hallways synapsed and prolapsed

within and without rehearsed and well-versed subjection and

objection,

subjugations,

permeations and creations by altercations and elminations of Who

arrives first.

 

What do you feel? How do you feel?

And most of all,

do you really know what feeling is?

 

Answered in the affirmative, subjective and always interjecting

dissecting fine lines between what is and how I would like to be

without all these damned feeling-felling emoticons, wringing my Soul

out like so much water under the bridge between I and Thou,

 

Peace Is.

Love Is.

 

What are you feeling that you say is not

That or This Is of

I Am Feeling This

 

A no-win battle, exchanged and rearranged

in a smile of an understanding Soul

 

Eh?
