Chapter Eight: Infatuation

 The Choices of Roses and Ice  
 
 Blue windows to your soul,
 Bottomless and cold,  
 Daydreaming from afar,  
 Crab rebel in mask's hole.
 
 Gemstones with opaque glances,  
 Meanings awash in a storm;
 Adoring from afar,  
 Rejection halting all chances.
  
 Feelings hidden in shadows deep,  
 Surrounded by myriad friends,  
 Craving from afar,  
 All the myths people keep.
 
 So confident and self-assured,  
 Emotions black and white,  
 Forever from afar,  
 My heart a ship that's moored.
 
 Unveiling my desire that's born,  
 Glimmers of freedom's kiss,  
 Fantasia from afar,  
 Lost in the new dawn. 

  A rare bird
 
 I have misplaced something,  
 In the touching and becoming,  
 Briefly, such blushing, 
 But it isn't you.
 
 Rare birds fly alone,  
 An irresistible lodestone,  
 Someone's milestone,  
 Dreams of you are of me.
