Dangerous love #poetry #haiku #cinquain

in the wilderness, when fear heightens the senses, my gaze halts on you

The Artist of my Soul

What do you see #47 Oh to find the one Who knows you more than any Never to be yours Who are you that sees me so clear A voyeur who prowls my soul And drips between its layers Daring to divulge Secrets I did not know I had. How in so short a time…
