New High

To have spent

These nights in
My lover's arms;
This is a high
No drug could equal:
It's effects more lasting
And much less Destructive!
Running from Love
No longer,
I
Embrace a chance
To cautiously,
Delicately,
Unfurl my petals.
I peel away old fears
Layer by layer and
Leave a sparkling

Crystal of light,
My Inner Self.
Exposed, yes,
But now lovingly protected.
I am Home.
