Love Hidden in Each Lie

Vanished or vanquished

What can reveal your feelings,
if words will not show
the way
inside your heart?
You weave a lace of stories,
but none can stand
the light of day,
when questioned,
you move
in the shadow,
when hurt,
you vanish
with no trace.

If despite the half-truths,
the lies,
there is still passion
and affection,
beyond words
and the meaning
in your every gesture
is tenderness,
not deceit,
find a way to link to my song,
bring back the tune
without a word.

Don’t whisper
I will look
at what you do,
hoping there is a different person,
one heart waiting
to meet mine
in genuine harmony.

Not of this world,
not of the next
our link won’t be dissolved
by angry words,
vague threats.

Be here with your soul,
make up lies
for another ear,
if you still can’t bear
to say what’s inside your heart,
let wind keep us together,
until you’re ready.

With open heart
there can be love,
maybe a lie is just another path
to seek entwined truth
in belonging.
Stay only if you cherish
this place,
our home.

If ice reigns in your spirit,
be on your way
to fiery horizon,
touch what moves you
even if I will not be there
to see you
happy.
