Conciliate

wants i grasped firmly when branches held crisping leaves
still linger...
part of me remains green as the leaves 
this unexpected spring coax out of trees' limbs --
part of me wants to be entranced by you.
that road leads to a cliff
and neither of us cares to make the ultimate sacrifice for something so petty.
i need to extinguish the want inside,
a spark i've allowed to burn for far too long.


it's time to conciliate my wants and needs.
i want to be needed.
i need to be wanted.
he can fill me like no one can.
with the tangible and that which remains unseen.
if i remember nothing else,
i need just remember
my wants and needs are him alone.

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.
