Let Me Be

Baffled by viscous thoughts of life
    you traverse a road with rocks in strife,
 a faint whisper echoes in your broken sleep
    through topaz waves dreams emerge to reap.
 A heart holding an innocent lucid streak
    hums simmering desires to reach their peak.

  If pain overflows tender souls in dark
    a voice cuddles their ember agony spark,
  incandescent memories calling you in glee
    a lullaby dissolving that flame...let me be.

  Death could be a passenger you'd meet someday
   approaching your ship on a taciturn bay,
 what if hurricanes engulf a stormy sea
   a lifeboat to rescue that ship...let me be.

 Words wrapped in paranoia wavering bleak
   failing to unlock scared doors that are weak,
 your shriveled wishes waiting to be free
   a key of soothing answers at dusk...let me be.

 A love that shimmers in dusky brown eyes
   amazed yet reluctant burning in draped guise,
 a tender melody to hold it forever I see
   a night that melts your heart...let me be.

  Darling, you've waged a valiant war for long
    warrior of veiled emotions, you are too strong,
  reveal unmasked layers of tenderness, they plea
    a healing zenith of pearly stars...let me be.
