I can still recall the day Innocence abandoned me.
She left me stranded with no map and no instructions,
And as I struggled to take my first solitary steps,
Optimism and Trust kissed me goodbye.
...
Would you still love me?
Would you still care?
If I showed you,
What was always there?
...
It was a warm evening.
The summer breeze
caressed my blooming cheeks,
permanently dented by dimples.
...
Waiting For You
Open your eyes
and see me.
Search for my glances
And steal some
In return.
Extend your arm
and reach for me.
Pull me in
Determinedly
with no struggle
Nor concern.
Perk your ears
and hear me.
Find the secrets
that hide behind
My words.
And if you think
I would resist,
Then you still have much
To learn.
