Comfortable
   in my ivory tower,
 barren,
     lonely,
        safe,
 hidden,
    shrunken,
       tiny,
          small,
and then you,
   suddenly
     peeking
        over my wall,
with firelit eyes
    and dazzling smile,
I flew away,
    I ran a mile,
I hid from you,
   I shoved you back,
       and then you called,
I felt
    my lack,
        my ache,
    your eyes,
       your smile,
I turned again,
    I ran a mile,
feeling all
    your charms,
hungering
    for your arms,
wondering if
    I'd come
       to harm
or safe,
    listening for
        your voice....
knowing that I had
    no choice.
