Blindsided by winds of change
Completely caught off guard
Long set pieces rearrange
For once I've drawn the wild card
Suddenly I wish to reach
To simply try for a connection
For once a wall I'd like to breach
Curiosity is my infection
It's refreshing in a strange way
Foreign as it may seem
Each person is a doorway
But not all doorways gleam
Reaching isn't a big thing
Though like a child I feel shy
Nerves unsettle like a bee sting
It isn't easy going awry
Blown off course by curiosity
Intrigued by who's behind the door
Surprised at my velocity
Propelled to develop a rapport

Dually Deceived - Poem
I never claimed that I was clever
I never said that I was sure
I only thought that I saw something
And when intrigued; sought to know more
I wasn't sure what I would find
And there's no way I could have known it
For fate had stranger things in mind
Than what had entered mine that moment
Perhaps I wouldn't have been so surprised
Had it not been quite wholly unexpected
But you'd so intricately spun your lies
I'd have never guessed you were deceptive
At once I collected the evidence
And when I set it in your sight
I wanted you to deny it
But instead you turned a ghostly white
My heart sunk lower in my chest
Than I'd ever thought it could in
