be it aggressors so complied
with tyranny that life does youth

But if you find my motives so impure ...
Perhaps it's best that we parted ways,
And kept as gold, those fairer days....

an outing quite mysterious
sponsored by a mind so devious
just for the calculated possibility of a bedroom insert....

Pellinore or Palomides,
am I your glatisant beast;
the obsession
of a ceaseless hunt?

Elusive and untamed,
I run where the earth
does not question my motives
nor the moon
keep record of my faults....

Control
How I long for it--
control. It eludes
me. I have no say
in my own motives.

the control of
my mind's fickle
whims and wants.

How unfair
for it to
have control.

I should
be in

control....
