The Awakened Heart
Listen
to me
don't
just hear.
The
wine of the evening
is
not my décor.
Reveal
to me
and
be my fresh intoxication.
The
velvet eyes
caste
a soft look,
my
weaker ambitions
burst
like firecrackers.
I
am you
in
the drenching chorus
wet
in self-believe.
Pain
keeps me seeking and wandering.
The
plight to tell a story I bear.
I
am an awakened heart
of
yours,
while
you clasp my hands
and
we journey through this eternal life.
Your love is red
and my ink is blue.
I
script in awakening.
My
heart beats to
lay
the foundations
of consolations for you.
