Someone In My Heart

Inside the caves of my heart 
Lives someone I do not know
With unspoken word, starry eyes
He’s quiet, peaceful and smiling
And slow to open his mouth

He only peeps and watches	
Through the glass windows
Of my unstable heart at leisure
Flapping his wings like a dove
To shadowy activities of men

The words he stammers out 	
Are soothing and smooth
Choosing to talk only when
Deeds of men are cool and calm
Like a lull in the Pacific Ocean
