Mama said shock me
rock me
knock my socks off
thrill me -chill me
use skill
instill me
with wonder
or thunder
pull me asunder
scatter my heart
flatter my soul
it doesn’t matter
unlock the chatter
spill out the worst
shock me
speak of demons
leave me weak
with fear or cheer
deep in the night
delight takes flight
replaced with dread
the dead arise
it’s only lies
you realize when
light arrives
just
shock me

It truly rocks.. I wonder if the morning light that shock the most or the darkness of night.
