Maybe Connected

you seem to think
i have something to say
but that's not how it works sometimes.
just let me speak nonsense
and i'll whisper those nothings
until you're a million miles away too

**

hold me close in your brutal arms --
they hold so much power and yet such restraint!
their range of intensity and purpose impresses me
at the same time that it scares me to death.

**

i can't get away
but don't think that i want to
i'm scared by how much that i need you
i'm afraid i can't handle
the thought that you might one day
want to walk out of my life

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

on the surface

on the surface of the moon my feet are as light as my cares tonight but my world's just as empty and the space just as dark and the moon dust obscures the best stars in the sky so I look deep inside and I search for deeper meaning but I've been running on bingo fuel since long before we landed. the craters are only deep enough to cradle my head as I lie down to cry or fall down to die -- time will answer that riddle
