Hide Poem by Jarret Williams

These statements,
Verbose
A voice so layered with decadence
As we lay out the evidence
We’re joyous yet morose

Slow-burning
Pheromones
O, how exquisite are the dandelions,
Singing softly,
Under an angelic sun

Swaying nimbly,
In the gentle gale.
Your face is all resplendence
And life; pulchritudinous
As fear becomes love again

Failure is not yours to hold,
At least not for the minute
There’ll be
No ostracism my dear,
Mistakes that churn and spin your innards

Until coiled, entwined
In knots
That stretch and bend
Creaking like an old mans bones
Be yourself, you’re finally home

Give away,
Surrender
Opulence, arrogance
They merely cost you acquaintance
And remove you from the splendour

That becomes of understanding.
However, do not maunder; embrace.
Peaks and troughs
Are the essence of existence
As the bush is beat around

Hide beneath the bamboo trees,
Evaporate
Until you are concealed
Then when realisation approaches
Ill call you from your slumber

Let the branches stroke your skin
Until serenity prevails
Then your rescues is complete
And my feelings are replete
We shall elope tonight.
