Let me through               the wall you have secured
                                           around your fragile heart

the bolted door               where you hide from the
                                           world outside

let me reach out              share your deepest woes,
                                            that pierce your soul

into cold abyss                as arms of angst hold you      
                                           without acquiescence

feel the warmth               of your lips, those haunting
                                            dark, half closed eyes

radiating from the          and your face, so obvious in
cantaloupe sun                its portrayal of feeling

let me offer you                the world, with its joy, its
                                             hidden trail to heaven

my entire self,                  because nothing else can
                                            satiate this ache and thirst

to love, to cherish            until the hour of end, until
                                             you laugh and say yes   

forevermore.
