I could fall and drop into another,
stop and fall from different heights,
see the sights
put out my lights,
but not tonight.

tonight
she shines a torch on me
to light me and I thought to
fight me not delight me, but
tonight she surprised me

at times when I am tiger
to her lily
I roar,
but only to remind myself,

she blossoms anyway
every day.

I could fall
though not today

balance comes with adaptations
I am open to suggestions
she says,
time to sleep.
