SerenWise

Remember

Others speak to the mask

Or to the ringing silence,

But you speak to my soul.

You\'re the high-pitched

Note of crystalline sound

To shatter the glass of me,

And dip your fingers

Into the rich redness

That spills over all.

Your kiss is what I live for,

Your softness and hardness

All at once - remember,

That even in my darkest hour,

When my fingers are latent

And my paintbrush is still;

You still breathe shining silver

Into the cracks in my heart.
