I am as brittle as clay

and begging a sculptor, its seems

Told no, turned away

or I may cast off my dreams

What is this madness

driving my days, a full moon body

taken by a woman’s craze

It stuns in my tracks, like I am watching a show

and gasping and pleading

not to go, yet there she rolls

fast down a fatal steep slope

pining for freshness, lustful elope

I am a ghost walking in her

flustered at bright and big eyes,

where a hand guides my back

brief, rushes start up my spine

Should it be so easy

to unsettle my soul

the moon is still lurking

I do not yet know

The force propelling

moves along my hips,

these big browns of mine beautiful

I cannot move my lips,

have I truly never been told this?

/

I am looking through a mirror now, watching my life.

The woman playing it out may as well have a knife.
