Oh where did I go?
"What a shame!"
They'd all say as I'd sit
Waving my white flag
"I hope you feel better!"
One always blurts out
With eyes of pity and curiosity
Creeping over my being
What a terribly awful gesture
You see I too hope I'll feel better
Oh but please tell me
How can one do so
When all that surrounds are onlookers

As I sat still as death
I felt liquid dribble from my head
Oh my what a mess
How clumsy of me
But wait!
Stray words tumbled from my rosy lips
Before I could silence my tongue
The fighting in my head was over for a moment
The venom was released
Carried by a sigh
The truth is always set free
Oh!
But what has been done...

i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

I know something you don't know
How to succeed another's cruelty
No one has the power to control how a person feels
Let the feeling of hatred and sorrow
Melt away by three words
Find inner peace with the demons of your past
Ruling your life and your every thought
The one way
To shatter another's power over you
I forgive you.

Love is a sharp pain in your chest
Burning with words unspoken
Kept deep within
Tied and tangled together by fear
Of another heart answers
