~

Framed by affections,
unlocked, waiting...
weathered of vibrant
thoughts and dead bolt
delusions

A portal of desperate
desires and relinquished
pain, for the light
through my cracks and crevices
now shines

My heart is hinged…
eternally by brass pins of endless dreams,
tightly fitting into
the perfect grooves of
your love

Twist with simple ease
my handle, dull and waiting
for the sheen of you
ever bright, glowing
to polish me, to make me
new

Open me, swing me freely,
so smoothly I move
allowing the morning breeze to sift
beyond peep hole shadows
creating a passage
so that I may walk so deeply
into you
