To Know You. Poem by Zeh SheZ

To Know You.

I speak not to you,
but the invisible.
That which lays inside of you,
I would love to meet.

For you are not this shell we see;
which you can paint,
and taint and present as camouflage.

I want to know you from inside out;
to behold your beauty; not the feigned.

Are you brave to show up?
Would you take me on a tour
of the harbours of your heart?
Would you freely invite me
into the confines of your mind;
the web of your thoughts?

Else I can never truly know you.
Yet, I so long to meet you,
because I want to know your world.
