behind your words

behind the words you speak to me there lie a discrepancy


your gaze, those irises,

in your soul a deficiency


your presence is wonderous, 

calling the attention on everyone you meet


dunking us into your own morphine

that is how you feed


i watch you with fear

as you take on your wondrous form as an endlessly metamorphizing butterfly


masterfully singing of my poetry and beautiful looks, 

melodizing my own interests, 


shining in a myriad shadings of light,

a perfected reflection of everyone's self-perception


I'm left to wonder how you do what you do


when you are a dealer, trickster

and i can see the means in between


for, my friend,


the self-prevailing surveillance with which you watch me swallow

shows me,

that inside,


you are hollow
