My Silent One - Poem from "The Silent Darkness" by Lisa M. Bello

Upon the waters of external reality.
He captains those ships with an iron fist.
Afraid, though concealed well his fears.
Strength his greatest virtue,
He's so respected by everyone.
I wouldn't want to mess it up.
I wouldn't want to fuck it up. But internally I know him quite well.
His pain never seems to end.
Like Mine.
But yet this mystery still lies in his fiery eyes.
His beautiful fiery eyes.
Never disguised were MY eyes.
I see this truth that he hides.
