Flirting with danger

Bountiful reawakening memories
brightening tarnish, laying naked
buried, deep-seeded emotions;
      once cured; ever denied.
Growth stunted backward mobility
influencing one's flirtation with danger,
sqelching fearful dread of discovery;
      once desired; ever demanded.
Boundaries break unnerving nuances,
distance strengthened limitation
minimized by demanded revelations;
      once feared; ever desired.
