Read the Poems

The Life I led was strange to most
So full of logic and order,
And those I knew were much perplexed
For my actions that made them ponder.

No matter that I tried so hard
To join them both in thought and deed,
My mind would see a different world
A diverse view, that I must heed.

To them this life’s a simple thing
With problems seen in black and white,
Must I ignore what’s plain to me
Shades and colors that shine so bright.

I try to show them reds and blues,
The hues that us are surrounding,
But though they look they cannot see
This beauty so tantalizing.

I could not understand their minds
That wrought through so much darkness,
Disease, to them, is spots and sores
To me it’s a viral ingress!

For many years I never knew
The way I thought was so different,
And as I judged them from afar
I spoke when I should be silent.

But then at last the truth broke through
’Twas I who’s the freak of Nature,
In fear I’d turned away from love
To become a lonely creature.

The reason for these visions strange
Was a mind devoid of feeling,
My heart was cold and dared not touch
The compassion of life's meaning.

Though I was blessed with clarity
For things in the physical world,
I'd missed out, for I hadn’t learned
The pleasure our emotions yield.

Beyond the passing of the years
Belated, I learned life's lessons,
Now my heart is alive at last
To respond to your pheromones.
