secure within your walls

out through the in-door,
in through the out –
always against the current,
you…
 
traveling now –
back into my country –
sunlight on the horizon,
dawn to a brand new day!
 
how is it –
with ease –
you navigate my conscious stream of life –
transverse my sky
as easily as light adheres to day?
 
nothing else –
not even thought –
can penetrate,
so easily permeate my mind.
 
you wrap around me –
contain the all of me
as much as –
skin.
 
complete –
i am –
with you –
secure within…

the trauma of forgot

and then some nights –
silence.
screams from voice of insecurity muffled –
less than audible echo down the corridor of alone.
 
what purpose keys –
to doors with locks,
removed?
regardless invitation to accept –
no answered reply –
unheard knocks.
curtains drawn.
occupancy –
denied.
 
and in the darkness of implied unnecessary –
even shadows disappear.
 
there is no greater fear than becoming victim to indifference.
no deeper hurt –
than trauma of forgot…
