leashed

you get defensive
and yet theres facts
I have no motive
yet yours, unlatched

I find it curious
sad, none the less
that someone as coy as yourself
embarrassed to undress

you won't show the flaws
yet are so quick to judge
do you hide your fury under those robes
or is there a deeper cause

lacking ambition
yet snide, to say the least
its hard to imagine your demise
your true feelings, kept on a leash

The Other

It started,
Soft, curious
Sincere, tender
Innocent
As it grew,
so did they
Challenging one another
as well as themselves
But
As one stayed faithful
the other began to drift
Softly
Curiously
One tried to flee
the other, stayed still
Balanced
Eventually, there was a reunion
Sort of, spur of the moment
A wanting
to Touch
to Be
to Remember
This time, there was no subtleness
it came all at once
A train roaring fast
This time both fully on board

Or so she thought.
