Transparent Heart

I am transparent –

Or I wish to be!

Pretending’s not my thing.

The harshest ache

Would be if I’m unclear.

Yet now I fear

That if transparency

Depends on

Being well perceived,

I have become opaque.

Let me tell it true -

I love you.

It’s clear to see;

I cannot deny it.

Though I be silent

You’ve only but to try it.

It needn’t burden you,

It’s for you if you seek it

Honestly, transparently;

You needn’t even speak it.

♥ ♥

I know not how

To fake feelings

I do not feel,

Nor hide the ones I feel.

Let there be

No imitation!

There is

Real enough

To go around!

I'm riding high

On this relation-ship,

Savoring every move,

Each bite and sip;

Letting go of landmarks

Where they no longer fit,

To better see the way,

The way which is itself -

Is IT!

Love has melted me,

And let me run downstream

To be dispersed and strewn

Upon her fathomless sea,

Below, above.

Oh! To regather once more

The fragments of myself

Into a mighty wave again

To splash against her shore ~

To revel in the love.
