within boundaries i try to keep
myself
within walls i have erected
behind veils i have chosen
i try to play safe
the defences are not strong
enough
not thick enough the thorny hedges
and the guards are not vigilant
enough
opening my eyes my inside spills
out
i look at you and there is nothing
between us
my self all bare and nowhere to hide
the passion
it is always like this
how embarrassing!
my heart pounding a hasty retreat i stumble into the thorns, i am held up by the door-keepers, there is no room inside, the wind blows the veil away, i have said too much already, next time i will keep silent and
contain myself
within
