Knowing My Fears

Tenderness  fiercely  burns
Sipping  passion  from
My  eyes,
As  a  tiger  taken  on  the  run
I  had  hope  it  and  why?
A  slaved  angel  saved  me
From  the  falling  snow-
Leaving  me  in  darkness,
I  was  lost.
Lonely  with  the  autumn’s  tongue
So  what  is  pure?
I  was  a  whole  person
But  with  whole  poison
With  the  morning  sun-
I  did  not  know
My  own  face,
I  only  knew  my  fears.
