Leaves tremble in the wind
Like I’m trembling now,
With too much uncertainty.

Your silence is a blue and white block of snow
Soft but unmoving,
Chaffing me with your suspense.

Or maybe he’s good at pretending.
Under the innocent sunlight,
His hair dazzles like maize.
I wish I could run my fingers through it.

With no warning smoke to tell you my secrets.

Grey-green hills and a tantalizing moon
Rise up the eyes of your soul.
Won’t you tell me how…
