Holding out?
I didn't know,
You had such talent.
You just let go,
And your feelings did the rest for you.
They went from head to hand,
From pencil then to pad,
And now I know your feelings, too.
I'd share mine if I only knew...
So crystal clear,
In a confused and hopeless tune,
Like an oasis on a windswept dune:
I want to now - no! - I want to wait.
Indecision twixt the snake and saint,
Each fighting for an edge,
Inside my confused head.

A Prayer From The Soul

My soul begins to pray.

by Leah Miller
Leave me alone
Get out of my head
I don't want to like you
Did you hear what I said?
I shouldn't like you
But for some reason
The life we share together,
Our eyes meet and our hands touch,
Our time we give, but a secret is must stay,
You give your love
