I fell in step with a beautiful boy on an undefined path in the woods Eyes of melted caramel, lips of bitten cherries A face of dazzlingly white sun rays His fair composition had caught my eye Several grown oak trees away An intensity of gamma rays and morning light mixed in with a dash of candlelight As I neared, I became drunk on his sweet fragrance Of burnt wood and hot chocolate and lying outside in the midst of a spring day Tender breezes that smell of rain and cold earth This boy, how softly he stepped, catalyzed a desire deep within A compelling to touch, maybe taste his beauty My white hand reached out, an extension of billowing feathers With risk, attempted a gentle, gossamer graze on his back and my face, a blush burning, consumed my whiteness But this boy, so beautiful, had a bitter back And soon my white feathers frosted Ice caked in between my limbs  Spread with an intensity like wildfire And my nimble body no longer white So cold, so heavy, I fell

Bitter Back
I fell in step with a beautiful boy on an undefined path in the woods Eyes of melted caramel, lips of bitten cherries A face of dazzlingly white sun rays His fair composition had caught my eye Several grown oak trees away An intensity of gamma rays and morning light mixed in with a dash of candlelight As I neared, I became drunk on his sweet fragrance Of burnt wood and hot chocolate and lying outside in the midst of a spring day Tender breezes that smell of rain and cold earth This boy, how softly he stepped, catalyzed a desire deep within A compelling to touch, maybe taste his beauty My white hand reached out, an extension of billowing feathers With risk, attempted a gentle, gossamer graze on his back and my face, a blush burning, consumed my whiteness But this boy, so beautiful, had a bitter back And soon my white feathers frosted Ice caked in between my limbs  Spread with an intensity like wildfire And my nimble body no longer white So cold, so heavy, I fell
