smiling in a way trying to lure them in

at the crack of dawn
emerging through the branches
birdseeds misplaced in an empty room
with intent to capture their hearts
smiling in a way trying to lure them in
but as a descendant of a wild predator
they looked askance at all the furore

thoughts seemed numbed in idleness
in a floating market to peddle their wares
but they still advanced forward
safety as a group and strength in numbers

but a sudden gust with force
like a lantern caught in the wind
the window slammed with a loud bang
it tweaked their focus and off they jumped
knowing for certain unsafe to be back
the water was clear as mirror
murky only in the night air

waited their call rolling in the clouds
sitting cross legged in a way taunting

how he gnashed  his teeth with fury
how silly to have left his shirt open
was there a reason to curse and rant
for forgetfulness endured
was a grim lesson

  1. This is a journey that seems both like dream and nightmare, and maybe returning back again in the end.

  5. I've been seeing posts and testimonials about BLANK ATM CARD but I never believed it, not until I tried it myself. It was on the 12th day of March. I was reading a post about places to visit in Slovakia when I saw this captivating post about how a Man described as Mr John changed his life with the help of a Blank Atm Card. I didn't believe it at first until I decided to reach him through the mail address attached to the post. To my greatest imagination, it was real. Right now am living up to a standard I never used to live before. Today might be your lucky day! Reach Mr Thomas via email:(thomassiguard522@gmail.com) see you on the brighter side of life.you can also contect him via WhatsApp:+17733492820
