CayCay Godwin Poet Free verse

INSIDE YOUR PARENTHESIS

I keep your facial poses under lock
with myself as the only key
so I may live in your parenthesis.
You were a multilayered, gentle color,
wishing to be a pattern of unique luster.

If a creek, you would have swollen,
if a cloud, you would have burst,
yet still, I thirst for you often.
You no longer weave me safe blankets
or shadow battle against my problems.

With constant ache I miss your blossom.
My pain cries for a permanent solving!
I live fondest imagining your punctuation
and often unlock, with a tear to hasten,
your gone phrasing for my joys encasing.
