What thoughts are these that pervade my senses?
Alien and unknown these feelings have made a home
Beside caustic wit and false intentions, the usual defenses.
Taking root within my soul, these thoughts threaten to make me whole.
Knock down the walls and be exposed.
Barricades built with years of struggle.
Stand your ground and bear the pain.
Take in the world love lust and shame.
Through her I see the secret disease
The malady which brings me to my knees
Her smile her eyes her frail disguise
Happiness and new life dance beneath those pools
Born again from love lust and passion
Sense a world where all is right, the man I want to be; by her side
