don't shy away, don't hide
               don't deny me the view
of all the things you are

you don't see what I see
               I am the sole beholder
lonely and mad, savouring this sweetness

verses fall flat and yield

they are but mere shadows
               as if struggling to describe
rifts of colours, concepts of harmony

just take my word
               let loose the sheets
and be there

in time I'll make you a believer
