your elegance provokes me so clear in the distance like the wheat fields in the summer breeze golden and fragrant nearer to your acreage accompanied by your freckled ambition deflated lungs breathless at the sight of you wild heart in your vines struggling to escape their grip but i remain wrapped in your strength unharmed and safe unknowing to the state of my weary heart i know not why i fight for you hold no threat fragile bird why do you not spread your wings and escape the cage of me? for unlike you, i am not a haven mist fills my forest and covers its lakes haunting the stability that you possess the fire of your paper chest creating ashes for your footprints that lead to me drowning in my lake and with the absence of terror you quietly step into the waves and sooth the burns in my elemental arms the raw connection sustains us and as i relieve you of my torture i see again the golden fields at dawn washed away by my water soothed across your chest
