my soul acts as a persuasive
and tender intermediary
between this wounded heart
and shattered self-consciousness
when anxious words
and spurious deeds fail
to erase the doubtful
stare of your eyes
it offers a cautious revelation
both apprehensive and valiant
equally seeking an authentic alterity
and dissolution of ego
for this new connection
and awareness
is more complicated than you think
for me
