Surreal

Poems 2005

Irony claws at the hearts of millions

when he wears black eyeliner and fishnet and
sarcasm is spoken all too easily.

The tragedy is that he is beautiful

and symbolism is seen by all,

yet misunderstood by all save two.

This is but a parody of the heart, a riddle

based on the rhythm of time:

beautiful yet tragic;

ironic but foreseen.

Will reality ever come crashing down?
This all seems too surreal.
