I see a side of you that I've not seen.
Depths of your soul to which I have not been.
Withheld passion, fury, longing, lust,
Love, hope, enchantment, terror, trust.
Within the verses of your poetry,
All that is in you is revealed to me.
Upon my own soul it makes me dwell.
Forces me to reconsider the definition of self.
Awakening feelings that I had forced hidden
Beneath layers of bitterness that now come unbidden:
Longing, love, hope, enchantment, jealousy,
All upon the reading of your poetry.
