Only the Street

The sugar-tipped touch of desire Meets every abhorring soul at one point in time Mine hits, It knocks me to the curb and leaves me bloodied With signs of fresh exposed flesh In agony and devout angst I rise All I can see is hazel- Your eyes, The subtle fluff of your hair Your preciously treasured grin Remains with me As we continue on our merry way Only the street can feel my heartbeat beneath my feet.

A beautiful poem....however, I believe instead of running from what's inside the heart one should embrace it, or else one is never going to be alive. Or one will never know what has been lost, or what could have been. Exposure, believe it or not, is the greatest freedom in the world, to know and be known. Anything else bound to fear is slavery. A very poignant piece. Extremely well-written....Best wishes, Sara
