"As if you were on fire from within,
The moon lives in the lining of your skin."
~ Pablo Neruda
**************************************************
This ache you hold inside,
Subsumed beneath the weight
Of good, of right, of just...
Suppressed under
The nobility of fidelity,
Of honor, of trust...
This ache is white hot,
Is unrelenting fire,
Is agony of heart,
Bright, searing,
Impossible to ignore.
This ache, passion's brand,
Is tattooed in your flesh
And in your soul...
Moonlight in the sun,
Inevitable, invisible,
Invincible.
