Translucent Eyes [10.4.08]

Stripped & exposed entirely
My thoughts & feelings
are held in your hands

Vulnerable to your quality of opinion
Your mind captivates me
completely ..

My thoughts & actions
are processed through
your facts

My heart bows down to you
As you watch observantly
pouncing to every fine detail

Let go of the leash you
know you hold ..
for I grow weary
of rebellion & constraint

A flower I thought
was withering
all of a sudden has the
roots of a tree

Can the fire I hear in your heart
show through your apathetic eyes?
cause' I'm longing for the passion
I know dwells in you

I'm almost alive in your voice
& somehow I assumed that
was where I lived
The book I thought I read
now remains a mystery
.. only to me

Someday all the answers
you thought you knew
will be questions in the wind ..
