My psyche is a lake
it has clear surface
as you succumb
it becomes
a mossy
dark swamp
the hour
sun kisses
my face
fishes
I harbour
rise
for food
I am a lake
your green tranquil
your peace home
but still
a much
deep down
I reflect well
wait,
am I me,
or, really You?

See what you don't see
through the
veil of mist
aftermath
of a hiemal night
everyone sees the fog
the dew
on their feet
wake up
with dawn
yet part of their soul
remains frigid
from intangible
bruises
of the past
be the sun
disperse the fogs
in your heart
