[Inspired by the BEAUTY of Grenada & the peacefulness of listening to the waves crash repeatedly. Rough draft. I'm sure it'll be tweaked more...:)].
Although I know
Deep inside
The emotions running through you
For me
Are as real as the wind
Blowing through my hair
Because verbally, physically, and emotionally
You reassure me
Daily.
But I still can’t escape my inhibitions
And free fall into the sunset.
Because the moment the sound of your voice
Penetrates my thoughts
My imagination bleeds
My fears
Gushing red streaks
Of insecurity
Because as soon
As the blue emotions
Running through my veins
Reach oxygen
They turn into
A hidden wave of secrets.
Disguising the cold temperatures
With the mask of the Caribbean sun
Unable to be decoded
Even by the lie detector
They all attach me to.
But you…
You’re different…
You don’t fall for it.
You strip me of my naïve view
Removing the clouds, the wind, the sun
The sand, the beach, the heat…
Showing me fear
Is what I should be afraid of,
Not you.
You bandage my wounds
With the touch of your lips
Against mine
By simply interlocking our fingers
You stitch every cut
That bleeds
Fears
Reminding me why I fell in love
With you
To begin with.
