2008

behind his eyes

in that lagoon

he threw me

he ran far away from the feeling and words

he ran from desire and pain

and when he stopped i was there again

escaped from my prison

deep inside i am

deep in a crevasse far in the depths of his heart

and when he remembers that i will grow

and he will look at me head on

instead of putting me behind his eyes

love

you cruel wicked temptress

love

you cold complicated emotion

so full 

and then

so empty

with fleeting desires

oh love

you echo the souls intent

but never embrace the moments

you mock those caught in your spell 

and leave them full of desire and despair

how i appreciate your presence in my life

that i may feel this fire

this much

cruel but necessary 

love
