Why are you so distant
My smile, my heart
Living in a cloud
Of fear,
Of dread
Of things awry.
Come hither,
Touch me,
Speak to me all you want,
Of hopes,
Of dreams,
Of laughter.
Don’t let the despairing winds,
Carry you away,
You are strong,
Of thought,
Of ideas,
Of Love.
Ignore the foolish ways
That the society,
Wants to heap on you
Of stature
Of place
Of ambition
You are mine
To use as I please
So come hither, my heart,
Come take the place
I have reserved for you,
And you alone,
In the throes
Of lips,
Of mind
Of soul.
