Summer

Summer

A Poem by Philosopher King
"

I hate myself because I feel drawn to this girl, and I'm more of the cold rationale type that doesn't like to go off feeling. Any tips from relationship experts?

"
They say that at the touch of love, we all become poets.
Although, I am not in love, or so I think
I see you sitting over there.
Over there so quite. 
The look in your eyes, so blank and mysterious. 
It intrigues me. 
I want talk to you awhile, just for awhile. 
Get your phone number,
Maybe go catch a movie. 
I like you because you pose no threat to me.
So meek and docile, I wish I could care for you like a child. 
Yet, are you all that I make you out to be?
What secrets lay dormant within those hazel eyes, 
those very eyes that I looked into on a hot summers day and saw glimmer with excitement.
Is there a demon that lays within you looking to come out
Is there a demon with a breath so hot, that it burns all it touches.
I look to you because you seem pure.
So pure in a world where all we value is filth
You're the only girl in a while that I would like to get to know through the spirit before I'd like to lay with.
I bleak rarity in a world so cold and  careless
But yet maybe this is just me
Maybe I only make you out to be what I want you to be. 
Maybe this joke is on me
Maybe you are non of those things and I only build a mirage in my head for that which I selfishly desire.
So alas the question comes, do I pursue you, or do I  let you go, like the releasing of a fish in cold winter's stream?
Do I forget and deny a path that could bring to me joy, joy that I thought was once gone a long time ago.
Do I attempt to get to know you and see who you really are?
Would you even let me get that close, so quite, shy, and timid like a clever forest fox?  
Should I just let this all go and move on with my life?
I hate you
But most of all, I hate myself. I have nobody to blame but myself.
For I promised myself that I would be the last  to let my passions go astray for a female. 
I was fooled before by a green eyed beast, and never again I told myself.
Never again. 
I would strive to be the epitome of strength in the path of the manly solar tradition, never to let my passions succumb to the chaos of the night: the female. 
But here you are,
And here I am, caught in a cycle in which I have seen many men in torn asunder. 
What to do, what to do.
