Beyond A Lover's Bars

The world shunned you.

Turned away from you.

A circus act repaid by only another debt.

Laughter and stares from plenty.

Yet what of you do they know?

Nothing beyond appearance... beyond a face.

I see what they refuse, and I rest my head on

the bars that surround you.

I reach out with a hand for you to take.

Trust me, at first, you do not.

But within my eyes, you see not of betrayal... only compassion.

No words pass between us and finally reach for me you do.

Gazing unto me, and with your mind, you laid claim.

Helped you through it, I did.

Gave up my life of status and reputation, I gladly sacrificed.

For with you, I knew my wealth meant nothing.

Love at first site.

Lust at first touch.

Forever at first kiss.
