Love Has Tendrils love has tendrils long, fluid, arcing, curling, pulling but under the water I have slipped away one too many times escaped the pull never strong enough to pull me in were you i keep searching for those endless arms to wrap themselves around me to choke me to kill me until I rise yet again gasping for air Copyright Janet Kuypers.
