heart on her Sleeve
Oh thy humid, curly wave
Cascading down her lovely face
As ivy on your brick façade
divulge that Deliberate gaze
What joy or pain
Remains within?
Relinquish thy black remorse in thoughts
That act like knives against my throat
Choking air from breath
See the Lilies planted there
Waving brightly in tempest rain
Unyielding in strength and prose
Vitality growing through clay soaked earth
Soften thy look
On monotonous life and a dreamer’s love
Relax the hands that hold so tight
Anxiously straining to control,
even the weeds in thy path
Faith is felt in your heart,
Teaching thy mind to trust
