Her mind untamed
Immune to hypnosis

with amorous smiles

On my haircut and I smiled...
Thanks a lot, peoples!

of compliments. 
I simply ride the fence, 
to gain distance.

The sky filled with the furious colors of red and orange
Awaiting the compliments of a star-filled night.

Returning compliments
Received, a kind word to
Redeem a thoughtless tongue
Reach out to the shy ones
Remember when you were
Raw and blue, the one who
Relieved your wounded wings~
