Analysis of precious
I make a full bow
with half emotion,
quarter lust
a quarter to spare
net weight of words
overexpands my capacity…
=
I foresee my gain
here's the move on
are you mad yet?
=
dispensable, recyclable
alive I am in your face if you spare,
snuff me, and I'm a memory
in your mind everywhere you step.
So dispose of me accordingly.
=
I won't die just for the taking
a deficient creation made by you
versatile to your taste.
=
a temporary sanctuary, a torture house
I'm a straight-faced scarecrow by myself
a full circled spell in you.
=
I feel you are so precious
igniting flames in my head
sensing an onslaught of a death scene
about to be deja vu …
=
I sense you coming to me
to be dispensable at your need
I'm in a victorious mode
the moment is so precious, my dear Elsee…
so precious
