Tenderness is a lie,
compassion folly,
intimacy a pretender
stealing the night
creating fantasies
dreams with rude
awakening
One day all will be lost
secrets revealed
sorrow
awakening
I don't believe her
I am beyond doubt
I know his tenderness
is true
His compassion
Our intimacies
that steal the night
our dreams
joy
awakening
"ellecee"

Awakening to joy is the best space to be and to reach there through love is just heavenly. A beautiful one.
