Butterfly Effect
I wish this attraction
was a chemical reaction
a pheromone induced stupor
where the noose was a little looser
and not choking out all reason
leaving it open season
for bad gallows humor
on what's become a tumor
a rampantly spreading cancer
for which death's the only answer
a final transformation
from a life of subjugation
to a colorful fluttering start
for this flightless frightened heart

💋 thank you but the title isn't original, I appropriated it as it felt fitting to the concept.

I agree, it is most often ourselves that tie knot in the noose we hang ourselves with.
Here the death is of ego and I was attempting to convey the metamorphosis from fear of love to a willing death of being grounded by that fear to the acceptance that love changing us is how we are "reborn" into a new (hopefully better) life/person. I may have missed my mark. 😮
Thank you for your thoughts on the poem.
Peace

The rhyming was really good. Well, you didn't really used extraordinary words or anything but the way you used them made it extraordinary. Good job here.

No problem there. I enjoyed the time reading. "Hal"? That's a first, made me feel like a Green Lantern. Peace. 😊

Ooo, yes! That's the dangerous kind of reckless attraction! I see.
Very nice ink!
