How I care for thee
and thank you
for being the angel
who would open my eyes
to a whole new feeling
where contentment is amidst
and serenity is unleased
My eyes are mesmerized by you
as well as my heart which seeks you,
uncovers the real you
and is touched by the beauty of your smile
your hand holding mine
I am now open to embrace what I have found
the perfection of what's happening between us
makes me smile.
I can't wait to wrap you in my arms--
even if it's for a little while
I've lost the fear that we won't last
because the awareness you've revealed to me
will always remain.
Tunnel of
Uncertainty
Trudging though hollow
surroundings
Pressing on the superficial
Opening ones eyes
to ebony reminders
Encompassing fragility yet
grace
A striking awareness of my
blindness
Just hold me
See me
Don't speak so
harshly--critically
of that which you don't know
or choose not to see
I am all that I am
What more shall I be?
