The Key


what is the key to unlock
all the hidden things inside
a place to be wild and free
too long walking in lines
of the way the world says so
unleashing needs long put away
naked with nothing left to hide
nose to nose can breath be far
stepping out of perfection’s way
flaws paying for chains daily worn
stand close and they will talk
as if that whisper wasn’t my screams
words scattered on blank pages
I can not stop my heart from feeling
move close to the security  of the gate
I leave your name there written
words are the door embrace it

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

longer lines than usual for you. it drags a bit, althought you do turn some wonderful couplets.
