Disclaimer

Careful to light candles that may tip and cause a fire,
In rapid rage…can consume the Amazon rainforest,
And open the gateway to hell…where quench be null.

Careful to look too deeply into my eyes and steal my soul,
Know the legality that my heart can be stolen too,
But refuse the key that will let it out of prison hold.

Careful with your words and actions that proceed,
Words...denotations of possibilities and probabilities,
Actions...connotations of idiosyncrasies brought to life.

Careful to lay me down on a bed of roses,
When I’ve been laid down on a bed of ice,
And know the feeling of a bed of thorns.

Careful to play conductor to a symphony duet,
While strumming the guitar…fingers along my ribcage,
And beating the drums…meteor bodies in collision.

Careful to trip and fall as you walk down the plank,
Keep your balance, do not falter, strain your logic,
When you get to the edge, don't wade your feet in the water.

Careful to go too far out into sea as you may get lost,
In the rapturous waves of hushed, private gratification,
Keep this disclaimer in your pocket or you won’t find your way back…
