Can I?

After I’ve…

given my heart, my mind, shared my soul,

only to have my fears returned to me on a silver platter…

thinking I was cherished, loved & protected,

in return, from the many woes this life brings….

Again I’ve been burned

I just want to know …

after I’ve been a friend, comfort, a lover…

& it wasn’t enough to cover the fare,

from the shattering of my heart,

receiving pieces of me crumbling,  

from my open chest, left bare

I wanna know if…if…

Is there a place anywhere for Me?

…to safely lay my heart?

Can I be the stars in Your eyes and put a crescent moon on Your face?

My past is My past, I won’t let this be the last

of Me…

taking the good from the bad,

as lessons Imma keep growing…

knowing, it should have been You in the first place,

but there’s no time to rewind the mistakes…

Can I give love, like I love Me,

and be loved like no one else?

Can I kiss Your tears, share Your fears,

spend the rest of My years…

undressing Your raw soul,

telling stories for the first time,

& A MasterKey hears Me?

Can I hold You & hear Your burdens?

….hushing them in a kiss, that leads to nights of passion & bliss?

of reNewing faith….. ?

….Awakening to infinite sunrises, of ever after smiles

& Your embrace?

….Making Our Own world,

feeding on Our hearts pleasures & necessities,

from the keloid covered bosom’s of long awaited nesting?

…to the rhythm of your heart’s beat, against my back,

while we relax, wind down,

digesting Our whispers of knowing…loving….glowing?

…2-Gether.

Can I safely share My Secret Garden, & you nourish my Urth?

….with all of your desires, I’ll be Your Heaven & Your Worth…

Making them bloom reality, as You shoulder my delicate Soul,

I’ll shield the dart, no more heart spills,

as We rotate the Earth…

wrapped in Your wings, Friends & Lovers,

elevating One another…

to all levels…unDiscovered….

lost in apsirations & dreams come true…

Me & You,

You & I,

…..intoxicated on New Love & tear-belly filled anticipation,

of life & ReBirth

Can I?

MasterKey

as chunks of my heart have been chizzled away, I stand

no longer wondering how or why, as my tears dry,

I know that pieces have been chipped, but not stolen, I stand

having never understood all the wrongs

& knowing I’ve never been perfect, not singing that song,

after doing my best & giving my all

realizing it still never seems to catch the falls

Eye stand now, knowing Eye hold a key

& as wisdom elevates, so does the tissue protecting Eye Am

there’s access & a passageway leading to my heart

there are keys some grab, trying to possess…to own

gaining entry, leaving scars, lost hope & broken homes

Soul Lovers value gems, when found,

holding Masterkeys when obtained,

gaining power which stands all, to hold what’s been gained

there’s no longer an external entrance, in which My MasterKey holder can enter

you may have had temporary entry to leave cracks, tears and scars,

but any home taken again, entry comes from within,

having to possess a Master Soul of the Art of Her, the Art of Hearts

a skeleton key that’s only reached from within me

I’ve found here holds my power to stand

To demand a friend- Eye Am, A partner- No spam

There is no I or U in us or we, It’s only found in UnIty

If you happen to reach My Soul….there are treasures to hold

for I found them seeking within mySelf….

sifting the books of peace, compassion, life, love, strength & endurance,

on the shelves of my heart, still firmly grounded by ancient roots,

no entry fee….just a deep invisible Key, with no exterior entry

Seeking within….revelations of Self, finding not the heart of stone,

I thought had taken home, but a still delicate one… guarded

with no visible keyhole, because the entrance is within

…..holding dear….cherishing and caressing true friendships,

holding dreams, hope, life, ReBirths,

secrets no longer easily revealed,

no longer willing to be trampled, like week old road kill

if no one ever holds the Skeleton Soul Key to Me,

allowing them to take me places where words don’t exist,

knowing the Heart & Soul, possessing power to flow into all places,

channeling love unknown….

& where I “vaporize your fears, caress your worries, gent-kissing softly,

whispering your pain into obliviousness, neckling you mindless of blues,

into clues of nothingness….. interlacing Our souls

like grandma’s soft, moist, chocolate-chip batter concoction

Together- soul matter

soul and mind are all that matter

In the midst of our imperial hearts interfusion

we’ll make soul love magik

making lies truths

nonbelievers into apprehenders”

until then, My Heart ‘s held knowing life holds enough pain of its own,

to allow careless affliction upon MySelf

over & over, without a care in the world of the seeds they’ve sown….

until I feel your kiss from within My Soul,

catching My breathe, with cherish

King enough to shoulder my tears, peeling back the sky,

showing me Me

then I’ll know you’re In Here

Until you possess The, I know your key doesn’t fit My Heart
