she mistrusts the breeze,
the moon is going down the alcove,
come home there's a message in your head,
as sure as the lone tree,
promise your life away,
it was understood in a day
the silence of quietdom
plays the torture of lust.

I swear
My ears don't just hear
I can see your song in resonance flow
Into the intimate air which we share
When I am here
And the sound of us in being is near
And you're leading me now

Alone on the playground,
counting minutes.
Too much time alone with yourself,
to wonder why you even try.

As a flame hot.
Bright with white.
The burn of truth.
The cure to toxicity,
Is taking a bit of the poison.
Getting used to develop resistance,
And taking control of your reactions.

Be careful of having too much,
It will tempt you to respond.
It will take over your emotions,
And regret the person you've become.
