your face is the cure
your kisses the elixir
your embrace healing
-----
no need for blindfold
or for velvet restraints
eyes wide open she smiles
-----
i will not speak first
my soul has borne too many wounds
from entrusting my heart
-----
desiring what can't be
too old for physical love
writing memories
-----
came here a stranger
bringing love for everyone
in this new land i found
-----
let us not draw lines
let us not separate ourselves
let us not be strangers
-----
waiting a lifetime
for love that never appeared
except in my dreams
-----
digging in her bed
tending her beautiful bloom
watering petals
