Take my pen away


Take my pen away
I long to write what I feel about you
I may also write what I assume myself
And you may like what I write
Yet, you should not know it in ink on paper
I should not use paper to vent

Take my pen away
I have inhibitions. I don’t need to preserve
What about shyness that you flaunt on my paper
And you may like what I write
Yet, you should know it only in abstract
I should hold things close to my chest

Take my pen away
For I have reflections begging to leave my body
You hold mirror catching every ray
And you may like what I write
Yet, you should not see my heart naked
I should guard our shared castle

Take my pen away
I fancy the sea to dance in my waves
While the veil of clouds adorns your moon
And you may like what I write
Yet, you should let the night hold sway
I should have my sea respect the beach
