A Sword

You tell me
I'm 

double blind, 

placebo controlled

while I'm making volcanos in my kitchen sink 

because you're not here to talk to

everything used to be simpler

in the times when we weren't there

and I fall in love at the drop of a hat

and let me tell you...

people are dropping hats

all over the place

eyes aren't windows

they're portals you can pass through

and souls shine out through opened eyes

and if you look carefully

you'll find that eyes 

are see

through

I dive into things

into

people

into

feelings

into

lives

into

eternities

I dive into them 

and sometimes you 

have to remind 

me

to dive back out

metaphors are always mixing in my world

and words have more than one side - 

so "double edged" doesn't even begin to cover it

there are 

more stories 

than players

when words mean both nothing

and everything

there's a certain ease to the flow

but getting there isn't easy

double blind, 

placebo controlled

as we are
