The Proverb

The Proverb

A Poem by Not here

Ask me a question.
Show me the star.
Give me a moment
to reach that far.

Show me some beauty,
show me the stars.
Pass me the puzzle,
then hide behinds bars.

I'll roll the dice.
You pull the strings.
Give me your life
and I'll teach you some things.

Make me a monster.
Or make me a man.
Mention the murder,
then show me the plan.

Smile with teardrops,
puddles of rain.
Show me your fingers,
some cuts through the brain.

Show me the puzzle.
Show me the key.
I wonder how lucky
someone can be.

Starting a war,
starting a peace.
Piece of a puzzle,
just please release.

Give me to silence.
Love me to death.
Show me the puzzle
picture of your breath.

Very nice use of words and thoughts. I liked each set of words.
"Make me a monster.
Or make me a man.
Mention the murder,
then show me the plan."
The above one is my favorite. You made the reader think and ponder. Thank you my friend for sharing the excellent poetry.
