#0, Poem- Conversation With A Stranger

Friend, you share more resemblances with a monkey
Because I smile and you frown like orange peels
Because I talk and you lie down extended like a fallen
bananna tree
Because the many things you do frustrate me like a dog
Except you glance towards the right corner of the sky
Like my father, who is a thoughtful man.

You are blind to my heart, folded in an old mother's hands
Tenderly wrapping every fragile part,to protect my best laid plans

You see, I fear every person, from experiences I knew
Such as being stabbed with hate, from a love I pursued

So I try to act random, and separate from all
Hoping to defend a burning fortress that soon, surely will fall

Therefore I ask for your patience before you mock and jest
And I will come before you gladly, as a friendly guest.

Yo, your poem is really something! it's light on the surface but definitely has a lot of underlying tones there. it's straight and unpretentious but it's really saying something without being too vulgar. i enjoyed it! keep writing!
