Maybe Some Other Day

Let me

Let me touch your skin
And feel its softness
Let me whisper in your ears
Words you long to hear

Let me look in your eyes
and see the reflection of mine
Let me hear your heart beat
together with mine

Let me do things
you wonder
Let me take you
To a land of imaginary beings
You and me

Let me not waste time
With useless lines
Which make no sense
or have no rhyme

Let me just be myself

darkness

you go and run away
You find your quiet place
Now you play and stay
No one can see you
But darkness has eyes
it is out there seeking you

Now that it’s found you
You finally surrender
Darkness is not that frightening
If you open your eyes
you can see in the dark
and breathe, and live
and your heart beats
and you feel the blood in your veins
What happened to you
you were afraid
Now you throw yourself into the arms of darkness?
