Untamed Desire

Dark is this strange, untamed desire,
Making her restless as the sea;
Flaring into bits of flame and fire,
Burning the edge of her tapestry —

Wind on the beaches, rolling waves,
Voice of a love she’s yet to feel:
Dark is this strange, untamed desire,
Fantasy hopes, more felt
Than real

What She Said

We’ve been sold the dream, we girls have.
That somewhere’s the perfect guy:
And we’ll have great lives together.
Yet we know it’s all a lie.

Still, we love the lie like fiction,
Fantasies where hearts can go:
So I love to dream of romance,
Though it’s silly.
Even
So —
