Here I lay
immersed in your world
of shadow and light
and corner of darkness
that I must peer deep into
and find the secrets contained within.I hold them precious
stored in a velvet box
where they will be safe
forever untouched.And my tears will join them
brilliant crystals
of emotion and truth.These four walls
these things
your heart and soul
in mine
forevermore.November 22, 2002
