Poetic Fury

Don't pull your hair in such a rage 
and play havoc with my meadows
where I adore to sow poems.

I don't care about your fury;
I'm afraid you'd crush the words 
I had designed only for you; 
their ink would stain your pearly hands.

I care too much about your hair 
where my poetic meadows rest
and all the charcoal ink I seek.

I care too much about your hands. 
There, I have wheat, ivory, and
a sun which shines for me to write.
