Left alone with thought 

The silent nag

The raucous silence

The torture of 

Not knowing 

Entwined with the 

Cowardice to ask

So I’ll sit in the dark 

And count the threads 

Of the ropes that bind me 

The Untamable Girl

If you think you’re 

Fireproof enough to

Kiss the sun

If you think you’re 

Clever enough to

Harness the wind

If you think you’re 

Strong enough to

Seduce gravity 

If you think you’re 

Patient enough to

Caress the full moon

...I’ll let you try

The velvet purple sky 

Stood before me 

He dropped to his knees 

And offered me the moon

Its light slowly turned the frost

On the ground

Into a million glittering diamonds

He held his breath

And waited for the answer 

To a question that was never asked
