Beyond the Surface

May 5, 2024

In the quiet corners of the night,
Where whispers trace the candle’s light,
Lies a soul that yearns to feel
Connections deep, emotions real.

Not for her, the shallow streams
Of small talk or fleeting dreams.
She seeks the rivers rich and wide,
Where truths run deep and secrets hide.

“Tell me of the tears you’ve shed,
Of the thoughts that weigh like lead.
Share the fears that grip your heart,
The dreams that tear your soul apart.”

Let’s wander past the weather’s face,
Find solace in our sacred space.
Reveal the scars, the inner fights,
Illuminate the darkest nights.

What stirs your spirit, makes you whole?
What visions haunt your midnight stroll?
I crave the stories, raw and true,
The essence that is uniquely you.

For in your words, I find my peace,
In shared silence, a sweet release.
A meeting of minds, a rare find,
A bond forged deep, uniquely kind.

So let us talk until the dawn,
Explore the depths we’re drawn upon.
In each other’s eyes, finally see
The mirrored soul, the heart set free.
