standing on a shadow's lace

            I am


I am liquid, or so I am told
          can't quite decide who is me
I wonder if I'll ever fit the mold
          emotions more like potpourri
I hear tarnish on this fluid gold
          love comes with no guaranty
I see my future written out in bold
          all my mistakes lit the marquee
I want back a soul once sold
          my heart races wild and free
I am liquid, or so I am told
          can't quite decide who is me
I pretend I understand my form
          change comes with all I see
I feel only touch can make you warm
          yet, too warm in steam I flee
I touch emotions start to swarm
          love can bring such jubilee
I worry within my heart so torn
          alone my heart an amputee
I cry then become a ragging storm
          holding back now is no luxury
I am liquid, or so I am told
          can't quite decide who is me
I understand how love grows cold
          never heart break to foresee
I say I have love…behold
          voided heart filled with glee
I dream love can be paroled
          ever to adore to be the decree
I try my heart not to scold
          giving in or letting go the key
I hope again my arms will hold
          the risk of love to be
I am liquid, or so I am told
          can't quite decide who is me

A masterpiece . . .

Yes, you are mercurial liquid...
a quicksilver study
emotions in motion...

a beautiful write.
