All your secrets
That’s all that is needed
To break our hearts into pieces

Ego
A heart
Vulnerable
As my enemy lurks
Invisible within myself

Tenebrous soul
Monsters moulding landscape

When just like that it lands

Nervous
Struggle
With confidence
What you see isn’t me
A convivial gathering

Gently taps upon my shoulder —
Dancing

I will
Be all I can
Reach my zenith in life
Yet up against perilous lust —
Will I?
