Confined Confusion


While I was waiting... 
For weeks of strong tease, 
That weak mind's rating-
Shadow haunts at ease. 

While I was looking... 
For years of calm peace, 
That heat up cooking:
Lighting love(s) apiece. 

While for forever... 
Stillness holds my breath;
While yours seems clever, 
Ignorance stages death. 

But I know, lies stare;
Yet looks unaware.
