Your heart speaks to me Of the taste of rain & The sound of colors & Missing pieces Hiding in your hands

The prima donna’s mirror hid from her owner the simple patchwork girl hiding beneath venom and too much makeup

this heart speaks our fate foretold we’ll continue this our lovely dance beyond the final whistle

A King’s lofty rise expanding power over disillusioned souls

Before you are clumsy words Unable to nail down the details Caught in endless daybreak Clarity shrouded in dark

If I could walk on the wind I’d find my way to you Just to sit within your space See the colors of your day

Beauty can be simple and unexpected cows in pasture ribbons in wind tears on skin even the creases of your hand

Our world Equally clenched By opposing dragons Sun & Moon Their eyes Fighting For superiority Unaware they need This balance To survive

Soul’s Truth is Easier to display In poetry and art While our demons Think we folly And fall asleep While we speak Our truths

Day doesn’t fall into night Gently, without notice, Neither will I fade Without casting my colors And shadows Across your sky

I’m a puzzlebox heart Can you open me carefully Treat my contents kindly Put me together correctly Do you have the key To set me free?

Wide awake sleeping I see you most clear The world falls away Leaving only us Encased in silence Our fingers entwined Stay here forever

He needs her to quiet Scornful cries from his past Make a gentler world Where it’s safe to fail And still be loved
