"KAT2"

in the darkness I saw a flame
and but a moth I flew
a merry dance and journey there
and by and by were you.

questioning your questions and
answering as best I could
flitting here and there as well
wondering what I should.

as i pondered how and when
you danced away, my flame
and I stared from my distance
wishing you back again.

i yearned and I strived
but my wings would not carry
my heart - it was heavy
my vision was blurry

the damsel with the evil eyes
a wicked grin forsooth
magnesium glare, aura bright
burning for the Truth.

questing mind, serpent's tongue
lies as lithe as please
the freest creature I've ever seen
pining to be free.
