The Spiderweb

As his mind weaves
A spiderweb on the wall
Of his heart
I silently watch
Bemused
Admiring the intricate web
So light
Beguiling in its softness
And watch the hovering bees
Slowly becoming a prisoner
Caught in its beauty
And
The spider mind
Already moved
To a new wall
To make
Its next masterpiece

Its a good write, Something thats flown in from your hand on to paper, a quick write.

Other than having a deep meaning, the poem is free flowing set of lines.

What a nice way to put forth treachery in the form of sarcasm layered with poetic deviousness. Amazing way to express but can be
applied to all who has such devious minds….
LOVELY…
