I was perfectly content..
..till i saw you outside
dawdling for just a moment too long
Displaying your exotic colors
as if you knew i wouldn't be able to resist
I regarded you with curiosity
Such an impressive sight
Patiently gesturing
inviting me to come take a closer look
assuring me that is was safe to uncurl
Very persuasive
My homespun shell became
an uncomfortable weight
The swaddling threads i was used to
were suddenly too tight
I untangled and shook
the loose ends away
You smiled as i
swayed toward you
I shouldn't have come out
Unexpected barbed limbs crept
to my feet and held tight
Wrapping them in fibrous binds
I wanted to fight
but your vibrant shades
were hypnotizing
I could only lay limp
watching you winding
around and around
weaving my skin-tight cage
I became inanimate
Encased
Trapped
Swinging beneath you
by a delicate silky bond
remembering only
your colors
Brutally mellifluous words
barged inward
Pulsating eruptions
terrorized my last standing wall
which i allowed to deteriorate
A cavity was created
littered with debris
I did not stand a chance
against the euphonious tune
That charming voice
became just an echo
between my ears
The amorous flutters
becoming nothing more
than nagging birds in my stomach
singing songs
up through my throat
of what could have been.
