Love Poem: Skeleton Key

Skeleton Key

The turnkey to my heart? A skeleton;
It’s understanding the rhythm and more 
importantly? The rhyme;

It’s hearing my past and calming 
every thought of the future,
listening as I reveal my soul;

Shattered or in one piece 
I relish every sip of you;
So go on, taste me;

It’s opening the closet and being 
okay with the chaotic mess 
because it made me who I am;

It’s dancing with two left feet 
just so I can feel less awkward;
Still loving every minute of it;

So go on sip on me,
shattered or in one piece;
I relish every time you taste;

It’s knowing I’m not always sunny,
but loving my moonless dark sky;
The portal to my heart? A skeleton key.
