Rough edges

 A palette of emotions
Kaleidoscope of fascinations

A shield, a sword for my dearest
An olive branch, all otherwise

Indiscriminate in giving
Thrifty in expecting

Free thoughts - a bird out a cage
Captive under shadows of hopes

Unruly wildfire when provoked 
Tranquil moonbeam when cared

Awkward at hellos
Graceful at goodbyes

Smooth, fitting curves of space
Rough, abraded by sands of time
