Looking past my wants (Tri-fall)

So much to say to you
yet I can't
words and feelings tangle and churn,
somehow I wish you knew
my hushed wants
instead I look away and yearn;

Loyal ink turns cold blue,
it can't plant
reasons on leaf it softly burns,
dreams I have just a few
like red ants
they eat my thoughts without concern!
