I See You

Silence wraps you in Her violet arms

Protects you from the light.

You relish Her mysterious charms

Then thwart the Sun's cruel blight.

Though lonely, you will not commit

To sheer Transparency.

You try your best not to admit

To your Despondency.

Try as I might, I cannot yield  

To one I cannot know.

I cannot penetrate the shield.

Your Truths- they rarely show

But when I feel your yearning touch,

When sleep weakens your hold,

Your earnestness releases such

A vulnerable gold.

To glance upon the beating heart
Within your hazy cloak,
Ensures me I am not to part
With the fire that you toke.
