I - "False Pretense"

Standing in the school yard
of all the knowledge I've yet to learn
lessons in my desires
still to me...
unknown

I view elegant hues
up against you
green, like my years
yet on you it captivates my stares

Dreaming of a complicated embrace
one that would cause such disgrace
your lips touch my lips
of a lesser grace

Hidden in you
kiss after kiss
searching for wisdom
in a forest untrodden
enchanted by sins
you thought you'd forgotten

Tumbling into a brokenness
too hard to define
unraveling inside
like weathered vine
the tempo of our bodies
pseudo divine

My mind twisted in a lustful existence
given to the wants of fruits forbidden
hanging by a thread of distance
weak and holding little resistance
my secret still hidden
in a false pretense
