Lose the Shades

Like clouds scurrying from the sun-

they dawn love to come forth.

In them lies a world meant to be free-

from all inhibitions for a feat!

They are the tambour-

that drives away all that is goth.

Their waves bash me like a sea-

of emotions striking with sincerity.

They glisten in the sun-

like fire in a hearth.

Shades hide them clearly

keeping my heart from its treat.

Though small and obscure-

they can muster a mighty wrath.

In them I find myself on a ferry-

to where anger is just another pleat.

Love is a cagey world linden-

with trust and glee: a cloth-

that wraps my soul around thee.

Come iron my heart my sweet.

Lose the shades I adjure.

Your eyes are the froth-

of desire in a cup of coffee.

So come wake me up my reality.
