Two Keys
Two keys have two keepers
To a secret part of me
That they can unlock at their will
Even if I plead
One key is black onyx
But it glitters like gold
It's twisted like a tree root
Like a flytrap it unfolds
The other is sterling silver
Its handle's simple and straight
I feel its heat in my palm
As it calms my anxious state
The black key unlocks
My darkest mind and limbs
My body becomes alien
Overcome by its whims
The silver key unlocks
My soul's warmth and love
Emotion runs too wildly
In a safety undreamed of
Two keys have two keepers
To a secret part of me
But to find a keeper with the master
Is what I must try to believe
