Posh like a pinch horse
in a prairie of grass
pardon me for my prudence
yet plague me my path
for there are eyes of gemstone
that choose to haunt me in my sleep
slapping me from a distance
so at arm's length I'll keep
from them I step away behooved
by my own fear filled grace
please, leave me not pale calm
as I fall from behind the shelter
of this young, lifeless face...........
