Brussel Sprout the Terminal Patient

“What do you see in this man?”

He asks...

“He has no talent!”

He points out...

“He is not real!”

He presumes...

“He is not worthy!”

He claims...



As if the honour

Was his to hold

Or brand his own



As if discovering

The Ark

Made it his

To keep



“I have nothing left to live for!”

He claims...

“I am going to end my life!”

He presumes...

“You have broken my heart!”

He points out...

“How could you do this?”

He asks...



As if the sin

Was his to judge

Or call his own



As if unleashing

The guilt

Made her soul

“His” to keep



*     *     *



“Am I the devil in disguise?”

She asks...

“I fucked up beyond belief!”

She points out...

“It’s all my fault!”

She presumes...

“It’s my duty to heal his wounds!”

She claims...



As if the scars

Were the results

Of her infliction



As if the extent

Of the damage was

From a singular cause



“I am cursed!”

She claims...

“All that I touch turns to dust!”

She presumes...

“I am a horrible witch!”

She points out...

“Will I be responsible for his death?”

She asks...



As if it was she

Who tortured his soul

From an early age



As if it was she

Who caused this angst

He has ALWAYS felt!



*     *     *



“You really think you are responsible?”

The voice asks...

“His pain preceded your touch!”

The voice points out

“You are a treasure, a gift!”

The voice presumes...

“You shall be released!”

The voice claims...



As if it had

The authority

To judge



As if it had

Any control of

Her emotions



“I can soothe your soul!”

The voice claims...

“This isn’t as bad as it seems!”

The voice presumes...

“We get along without strings!”

The voice points out...

“What was it that you saw in him anyway?”

The voice asks...



As if it knew

Psychology of

The soul



As if it had

The right

To write this!



*     *     *



“Do you love yourself?”

We all ask...



But the question

Remains

Enigmatic

To the core...



“I love life!”

She replies

And then

She flies.

I'm always blown away by the things you write! I read them and for hours my brain spins into unknown vastnesses.
