Testing the Waters
i came inside,
from the wind,
hardened
by the many storms,
thrust upon my pride
it was the calm
that seduced
an echoed mind
her hand was kind
stroking
the darkened skies
i could see behind her eyes
light surrendered
to the blind
bleeding past the night
burning bright
a torch of trust
awoken
when her lips
embraced my chest
we settled in
with the finer days of life
