I See You

I see you hidden princess

Behind your clay mask

So vulnerable that you need protection

I will drape you in my cape…

which is the fabric of my sheets.

 

You’re so lucid…when you want to be

Like liquid I’ll wash over you

Come, let me purify you

You’ll be godless

But you’ll be a goddess

 

You’re a feminine phantom

Who must be unmasked

It will sound like bells hitting violins

When I tamper with your indistinguishable guise

 

Author's Note

Sometimes to know a person, you have to allow them to open up to you.

Holly! Every single stanza was flippin' awesome. I loved the last line...I can see this play out...which makes it one of my favorites. And to know someone you do have to allow them to open up to you, but they also must want to do the same for you! Brilliant dear Holly! Thanks for sharing this!

You’re so lucid…when you want to be
Like liquid I’ll wash over you
Come, let me purify you
You’ll be godless
