SEAGULL

seagull soar lonely skyward
to a guiltless world where
feelings are misplaced into
secret rendezvous' leading nowhere...
seagull soar silently
swiftly,
leaving no space undisturbed.

no one came with hatred bounding
blinding and bitter
empty giving
closed off and insecure
open to a world of caring
closed off no more and senseless lying
shared with seagull
all that's fair.

 no one died and was born again...

seagull shared with no one
like no other before
inside and out
patiently trained
teaching how to love and be loved.

merged into each other's passions
giving always
sinking into each other's struggling
holding desperately to the past
emotions entangled
no escape.

running scared was no one
it's never been before
leave the seagull
her sky domain forever
protect no one's feelings
loving just once
seagull did all she could do.

hurting love no one reappeared
struggling with inside feelings
scared and cautious
not believing
one could care so much
but believe her feelings
no one did as true.

hurt and crying seagull soars skyward
leaving behind all she knew
no harm meant but always taken
spreading wings to fly away
from all those hateful comments do.

never will no one leave you
just because it hurts to love
the pain you carry is mine too
leaving makes it worse and
into this we both grew.

no one died today and was reborn
with you
with me as you can
developing the love between them
but leaving only when
no one has too.

want me too like no one wants you
exciting it will always be so
carefully sharing time
and maybe physical
spending moments within limits
surrounding by our love.

seagull flies and soars skyward
taking no one with her
trusting not the hurt of growing
learning always as they go
gracefully stroking no one's forehead
wiping away all his fears
teaching no one what he must do.
