Curiosity

I think she floated over to me on a cloud
Butter pecan skin hair blowing in the wind and THAT look in your eye
A story to tell those eyes informed me before I knew you
A story of life
A story of struggle, good times, tragedy and triumph, heartache and strife
Oh that story your eyes told
A story that made me curious, so curious I forgot other things existed
Existence is small and curiosity has stolen the day forever
Never ever have I seen this intrigue in one being from me
This curiosity is like my mistress of the night taking her away to conceal our evil deeds
I'm haunted by it and I need it
Secretly I map out my plan to conceal this mystery escaping me
I must grasp it while your not looking yet right under your nose
I pose as another character in this novel called the world
Sneaking by your eyes and moving past your intellect to the center core where the jewel is encased
Gently I lift the top and decipher the codes that hide THE SECRET, MY SECRET
A momentous breakthrough turns out to be a disguise
I have sacrificed sure footing for the embrace of a lifetime and now I'm trapped
Yea though I walk through this valley I am not comforted
I am defenseless leaving behind my guards for a taste of this evil nectar
Now I reside engulfed in the flames of lies and my heart frozen in Medusa's stare
I sit here in the trap I sprang lead by curiosity and hopes
But a lighted path appears with unseen consequences and possibilities
I slowly rise to my feet and cautiously wander into foggy promises once again
I bring my tools and more from the former mentioned trap but are they enough
I hesitate but with curiosity as my guide I can't be stopped
