And caged her Breath in Chains—

Which holds deeper purpose than what was meant.

...There’s a faded blue tarp
On an old pile of wood
For a fireplace no longer used.

On wind tossed shores where teardrops sown
Yearn to make their passions known
Forever clasped with lover with foe

Where shadows gather, and whispers wane,

When I Look at You
...Eyes, your eyes, something in the way
That ties me to you like a fine day.
It's love that I discover
When I look at you.

the mind nestles the buds of dreams it desires to see bloom.

My body tells the story of absence;
The hollow of my stomach,
The jagged outline of my ribs,
My fur, patchy and damp.

The way the world perceives us
As opposed to what we hide.

And say and how we act.
