Stormy PoeticJustice

You stand at my door unable

to step across the threshold.

Longing to love me, but

paralyzed by fear, you stare at me

and let your gentle tears fall.

Damn the voices that tell you “no”

and try to spoil our dreams of forever.

Come and let me dry your tears.

I’ll soothe the pain that lingers

and makes you hesitate.

Lay your head on my chest

and feel how you make my heart pound.

Close your eyes and imagine us

laughing with joy,

as we,

side by side,

love by love,

sound our voices to the treetops.
