Subject: Don't Turn Away

Don’t Turn Away

Our hands gently touch ~ oh will we end this masquerade?
Are we too ashamed to meet because of games we played?
So close and yet so far he turns his head and looks away
I remain calm and patient ~ yes, this time I want to stay

Side by side and silent ~ not a word comes to my mind
Let a gust of my love lift that cloak he hides behind
Dark auras divide us with undetectable lines
Impenetrable shields we keep allowing to blind

I treasure his cold hand as I search for his face
He knows that I know that he feels out of place

Ventured off the straight path ~ I know the move well
Slip off of bliss and crash straight into hell

Though this hell is familiar both to him and to me
We play games of disaster as we fight to be free

I taste his chill ~ I sense my warmth encased in irony
This fire and ice paradox of incongruity

I then look down and see nothing but dark so far below
His ice canyon of protection for his world that he knows
He can only reach out and touch but nowhere does he go
This barrier ensures that he remains at sub zero

I study it too closely ~ he starts to rescind
I feel his unease and his apprehension
But I cannot let go ~ not this time…not again
We’re standing on the edge of a revolution

I know I could cross but I withhold my move
I sense that he feels he has something to prove

My heart remains open ~ I send him the sign
I smile as I suppress my cavernous cries

He won’t glance my way but I know he perceives
He can no longer clash with this love he receives

His hand begins to warm to my adoring touch
The dirge wind becomes a muted temperate hush

I fixate my eyes on my elusive friend
A sign of acceptance he begins to send
He turns his concealed face with vacillation
Is this the start of a new revelation?

I see a sparkle emanate from underneath his hood
He wants to reveal himself but doesn’t know if he should
I want desperately to speak to him ~ oh, if only I could ~
I swallow all my words for fear I’ll be misunderstood

The sparkle now a stratum that surrounds him just like shade
Is this a ‘back off’ warning or a clue that I should stay?
I’m absorbing his vibrations but what do they convey?
My frozen lips break up releasing words, “Don’t turn away”…

(the experience is far from over…)
