Here do I find comfort.
Windows beautifully draped in ice
Coldness of a mother’s love waiting
Doors left half open to let the fears in.
Windows shut to keep the strangers out,
Perfection at its finest
But, what is this fire
Attempting to disrupt my solitude?
What is this furnace
Threatening my silence?
A laughter peaking in
Burning my insides
Fanning its own flames
Growing its own body
Swiftly and quickly
Calling out your name in the dead of night
Like hearts once lost now returning.
What is this want?
To succumb to all that you are
Like water flowing into the ocean
Desiring only to make your heartbeat my address.
