ivory

smells human.
doubting forevermore.
no curse,
no gift.
human.
cold maybe.
closer to truth...
maybe.
open.
vulnerable.
the castle is enough?
does the rose
entice such?
the soul weeps.
what makes them think
i want to be alone?
smells human.
does the rose
command such?
is fear,
them thorns,
major?
i can feel it
again.
who am i fooling?
hahaha.
do i feel this secure?
have I no quarter?
is my ivory tower so high?
hahaha.
