Tangled Truth

Sweep aside the murk
      that shades my truth from you.
With dark regard and selfless
      care, look closely through
my eyes at you.

Come close and breathe my breath
     inhaled through your lips.
Count my heartbeats in your chest
     with whisper fingertips.

Wrap myself around you
     leave no space in between.
Your heart my soul eternal threads
    lost in haze
    as yet unsaid.
