Series 3

My brain and heart can never agree

Is the pain to start worth the journey

How could it be, misery so sweet

This scene of juxtapositioning

If we cease, will we see relief

Comfort of my seat leaves my eyes wanting

For I have felt the comfort of arms

Not encumbered but shelter from harm

Left to wonder am I being charmed

Emotions plunder while reason slumbers with no alarm

I don’t need to remember my need for defense

We together succeed, me; you aren’t against

We’re bound together, intimacy never forget

Surrounded by forever, memories are not perfect

Your clarity clears my needs

You’re there for me when I’m scared to grieve

Disappear and leave; harrowing reprieve

Seems as if the walls are narrowing

A giant’s fists together they squeeze

In the middle of prayers, there you speak

Hear knocking, I rush to see

Is my loved one here for me

I relieve the mail carrier of what he’s carrying

Letters I hold dear your words I’m cherishing

Please let it be, let it be peace

Undoing the crease, my worries ease

Gives me rest unachieved by sleep

I’m being blessed by processing what I read

You invest the energy in me

That makes me step out my seat to seek
