Poetry

Untitled #1

In my heart, secretly

Like an ugly sickness stains

I am so ashamed

This blight long I’ve known

A hidden flaw grown so deep

The light was gone

Living in darkness

Familiarity dawns

Mirror brightly lit

The distance between

Is nothing compared to fear

Of getting too close

You, my love, guide me

Spilling out of me, ablaze

Uncontrollably

Present with right now

And remembering my roots

Knowing all is well

So please be welcome

For life has always been yours

To give or take

as it pleases you...
