Read Me

Read me hope,
In a voice of your heart

Read me love
In a poetry of your soul

Read me courage,
In a resistance of your eyes

Holding tears inside,
In a bravery communion of soul and heart

Read me happiness,
In a smile of your deepest part
Reaching beyond the boundaries of your body

Read me peace,
In a contentment of your soul
On a silence melody beyond the reach of your mind
Leading me to feel that you are the breathing statue of peace

Read me dreams,
In a painting of your mind
Creating colors of its own kind
Beyond the stillness of your body-in all the essence you are alive

FinallyRead me poetry,
In a joyful words of your heartIn an unseen tears of your soul
In an only romantic voice created by your lips
