The Veil

The Veil

I'm told I’m neurotic, it’s sometimes a pain
I look up to find only clouds and rain
The sun can be high & shining bright
Yet even its warmth can’t reveal its light

My mind plays games, attempts to ignite
A loss of reason fuels the fight
Suspiciously preying on words left unsaid
Assaulting the thoughts I cling to instead

It takes control with a strangle hold
One minute timid, then brazen & bold
Just barely aware, I can visualize
Another veiled within my eyes.

I crave a fairytale kind of love
One born to gracefully rise above
Acceptance providing a resting place
Lined in sapphire satin & lace

And though elusive, it can be found
The heart of a loving man unbound
Giving new life to vivid daydreams
Bathed in light of silver moonbeams
