Shield

Distracting grey silence
                        upon dawn's whisper
                        Quickly fading lust,
                        quiet longing mystery
                        like the disappearing touch
                        of a lover's gentle hands
                        that have just taken leave
                        of the heart of his mistress
                        To finally return home
                        where he finds strange but familiar kisses
                        waiting for his desire;
                        he remains too far from being alone
                        Wandering sadness
                        near midnight's bed
                        Incorrigible tempting dreams,
                        colorfully surmised visions
                        like the emerging feathers born to the bird
                        vaining himself in everyone's mind
                        to believe some high importance
                        where he loses sight
                        reflections gone of the mirror and light
                        But a walk to the sky
                        sings a tear for the clouds
                        and slowly passes by her smile
                        as if to ignore the softening rain
                        Brushing aside her golden veil
                        to reveal her dampening sighs...
                        sheilding and protecting her love
                        she finds tranquility
                        where it should never exist
