Heart Riddles

Here we are the two of us lost in 
the middle of complex heart riddles. 
Strands of perplex emotions 
surging both of us as tidal waves 
in the largest ocean. 

Both fighting this attraction of emotions. 
Trying to refrain from the hunger 
of souls desires and hearts wiles. 
Leaning into the point of no return 
as piles of issues confront us. 

I know no other place to solve 
this devotion I hold for you in 
the moment of hearts riddles. 
As your longing for me fiddles 
with all my naked desires. 

Transparent we both are to 
each other and the writing on 
the soul and heart is a riddle 
only we two can work out. 
Together in these moments 
of heart quest. 

Puzzling as the riddle may seem. 
I know it so well in my dream, 
the answer we both seek was 
a peek we both took into this 
thing called love.
