OPEN HEART

Finally, after so much Interaction Your doors flew open Inviting my passion ...I skipped...to my lou No thought or idea On who to be Or what to do I was me And you were YOU .......for the first time.....ever! I saw your desire And it was good I heard your voice Soft to the touch You caressed my scars I smiled Words...that's all we had...plain, speaking WORDS No one else, could, or would hear Instead, they judged With dirty minds And working hands Trying to get me out Out of your heart Out of your mouth Out of your presence ....just GO...they shouted!!! Til I was no more A shell left the space You inhabited No one to erase Those words The ones that took All you caused to erupt From within...now out I felt your breath And you felt mine Now you are gone And all I have is time ....trying to recover, from knowing LOVE Written by Trudy Schrader on 04-04-2025 Note: A tribute to my mentor
