You difficult man <br />Let me into your soul <br />My hand is outstretched <br />For you to hold <br /> <br />Let me run my fingers <br />Through your hair <br />Kiss you with my eyes <br />Touch you with the air <br /> <br />Let me shelter your passion <br />A salvation you so much need <br />To cleanse you from the apostasy <br />On which your demons feed <br /> <br />I can only offer my love <br />You afflicted man <br />My hand is outstretched <br />Reach out to me <br /> <br />Let me take you to places <br />Places where you can <br />Smell the colours and see the scents <br />Places where simplicity prevails <br /> <br />Let me remove the impediments <br />From your eyes <br />At least let me give you sight <br />I can see, so perfectly see <br />The aura which you breathe <br /> <br />Mysterious man <br />Turn if you can <br />Search the depths of my soul <br />.. and see.. <br />My hand is outstretched <br /> <br />-1998 – ©Copyright Lynette Dias-Gouveia<br /><br />Lynette Dias Gouveia<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-hand-is-outstretched/
