Intent
  
     Churning emotions
          Light headed.. hands clenched
               Heart confused.

     Desperate desire
          Wanting you.. dispising you
               Burning anger.

     Pleasurable memories
          Tranquil.. loving
               Desirable.

     Hurtful disregard
          Avoidance.. non-communication
               Thoughtless neglect.

     Broken promise
          Spoken.. but false
               Perplexing intent.

                             17 Sept. 1992
