Quiet down

You entered my quiet realm 
and devoured my private peace 
alluring desires dancing with 
hidden traumatic pains whispering 
tomorrow seeking solace a mind 
reaches for a bleeding heart to bestow 
comfort a healing notion that withers 
with shyness unexpressed wants 
between empty matter of your 
needs calling to my innermost 
calm uninvited an yet here you are 
tampering with my emotional 
bliss one with the sheer notion 
of unseen selfishness as I cater 
to the lost pathways back to your 
unsettling arms awaiting my 
weakness to implore a tour 
of my thoughts hidden deeply 
within as you poke pull taunt and pry 
I cover my ears and simply cry 
you're not supposed to be here 
you're not supposed to be near 
my soul vibrate vanishes in your 
presence my peace gravely 
interrupted an yet I await a cunning 
time to emerge from my silkened
caterpillar state to finally open 
my colorful wings and softly 
soar above you again and again 
reaching wonderful new heights 
brilliant butterfly landing on a cloud 
looking back to say you're just too loud

Sometimes the uninvited ones with so many unseen traits are the ones looking for ways to steal the light within us. Brilliant write this is! So deep and profound! Pleasure reading your work. Sending you light
