Getting to the pearl (2014)

 

 How do you

Get inside her head

Beyond the attraction,

Beyond the physical appeal,

Something turns the switch on,

And you trick yourself to thinking

It is her body

Or even her mind,

When she says

We only see

The shell she resides in,

Falling in love or lust

With the latest mask she wears,

Never the real soul,

that hides inside,

how do you get there,

deep enough

to find the grain of sand

irritated into a precious pearl,

what gateway do you take,

do you give headlong

into her gaze,

easing yourself

between each blink,

a thief in the night,

that struggles to find

the right combination,

to unlock her

finally.
