Transparency

   You,
I see and
easily read...
Full of want
     And
Full of need...

Needs hidden
not so deep...
Just below....
     Just
Underneath

Covered by those
smiles that hide...
All those tears that
you have cried

Unhappy for
so very long...
Feeling lost
and all alone...

Heart left yearning
wanting to know...
The heat of love
and passion's glow..

Always hiding the
ache and need...
Of endless hunger
and unfed greed.

My eyes see your
wants and needs...
My ears hear all
your silent pleas..

With open heart
and open mind...
You are read in
little time ..

A little one
wrapped in
strength ..
Who keeps
herself at
arms length.

Fighting the
battle deep
Within...
To stay the
course or
start again ...
