fluid & stoke

control turned over-
into looser terms,
but we still feel alright
in the fluid & stoke.

some of life is over-
sold on steward terms.

we whispered for the wind
& lost the breath we spoke.
in circles we're whiling-
knotting & leasing our tongues.

breathing adrenaline

i'm breathing adrenaline
& cleansing heart ache.
i'm accepting old news
& abusing my terms.

i'm learning too much
& wearing a life.

the mazes are straight;
the guise is quite gone.

wait

waiting became a taint-
a strain that twisted knots
in things that started straight.

hearts burnt fierce
& bodies warm.

waiting didn't make us cold;
waiting made us bold.
waiting made us ravenous
& reaching broke the dam.

circumstance blurred lines
& passion tangled signs.
