i am branded again
saddened by the cruelty of men
women argue and children fight
life is boring and then we write
combine metaphor with shame
grief has no name
but a thousand faces
candid as the dawn
how i long for your touch
a last ****** before its gone
will you return
or will i be banished for my sins
best not to wait and see
instead i must learn to trust
explicitly in infinity
are we eager to be done
or are you just beginning
lips quake as i bow to you
my heart shakes and trembles like a leaf
the temples wait and remind us of simplicity
are our minds as tranquil as a lake
now we reside in peaceful quiet
and sense the edges of the wild
lines are changed and bodies rearranged daily
and have you come into your power lately
