timidly strong
you are
my rock
but with such heart
you send my shame skittering
out of control
all ablaze
you've made my former fears
scramble simply to become
even moderately worthy
flailing now
in the wind of your frank disbelief
and wildly whipping confusion
just who is
this strangely haunting creature
who can so horrifiably fascinate you so
I thank you quite soulfully though
for your honesty's acceptance
and the unvarnished truth of your
"in one's face" sort of understanding
you are the first real drop of rain
my contradicting desert of emotions
opened up for
and such sands are not so certain
how to welcome
the naturalness of this gift of reason
called Satya!
but far better storms await us
my mighty sweet one
so, let us continue to paint lovely
luminous clouds
for each other
under which we can now stand safely
together
forgetting
in our newly grown eyes of fondness
every other drought that came before
today
as we are
like two sketches
drawn by the same
under appreciated artist
destined to be
priceless
