The Chariot

you rode in
like apollo
with sun streaming forwards
you walked out
like orpheus
with only a glance back

The Lovers

i'll let myself believe
that i'm in love with you
but only if
you'll believe in me too

The Hierophant

i'll offer you all of me
take all that you want
it's not as if
my treacherous heart
will allow anything less

The Emperor

he wonders if she realizes
that he's not looking away
he's looking towards
all he wants
to protect her from
and all she wants

The Empress

she betrays her anger
in her smile
as she speaks slowly
of the sun on her picnic
and the distance
of his gaze

The High Priestess

if love is free
then why does fate
force me to love him
when he has the face of a god
and the heart of a devil
and eyes that see nothing
or at least not me

The Magician

one second
you're holding onto me
like i'll disappear
and the next
you're dropping me
and hoping that I will
