i reach deeply to recall
the sensation of our fall
as our bodies and lips met
before i knew regret

with that effortless rise
we reached for the skies
our expectations bloom
safe from sense of doom

the obstacles seemed so small
hope and faith the duty call
with our kiss came the openness
through our touch we were blessed

reach deep is what we said
open doors showed dread
but with foot nor solid block
the closing would not stop

opened though only a crack
the light of love stayed back
too shy to show its face
so safe in darkened space

now the shell is safely closed
the place where love is housed
i am blocked from it’s confine
to find comfort in my mind
