An island
This island
Not drifting
Existing
In open space
Where the heart
should feel
Where love
should flow
And empathy
is gold
They are hidden away
On this island
In open space
Waiting
As a prism
To hold in the sun’s light
An island
This island
Not drifting
Existing
In open space
Where the heart
should feel
Where love
should flow
And empathy
is gold
They are hidden away
On this island
In open space
Waiting
As a prism
To hold in the sun’s light
I want to be next to you
nose to nose
Quiet
the sound of your breath
echoes over mine
the pulsing of your heart
pumps a calm rhythm
soothing the day away
and you are looking at me
I swim in your gaze
The calm
is through you
Forgive moments lost
To the unknown
Listen to my pleas
Allow me to fight
For your affection
Take a moment
To remember our time
Our happiness
I may have been
Unwilling to unlock my
Heart for you
But it’s been resting
In your hands all these
Years anyway
Each word
Gently decided
Not sure what to do
Refusing to decide my feelings
I do not want to be hurt
You always hurt
So I choose my words
So you do not read too close
And I gently decide
In case I decide
To have you close
