"Valentine"

[A Catatonic Simian]

My words spill salt upon
the parts of me you uncovered.
My heart, mostly.

It's a red scream that
escapes from my
fear of this.
But is heard in
my blood.

And there you are, tigress.
Waiting, just to
hear it.

It defied me, but
it knew it must.
Or I would never have
let you in.

I was undiscovered in this disguise
until you.
Tainted thing, at your own admission.
And me, packed to bursting with
hidden feeling.

I still hunt for the mask of
the person I try to
be around you.
But, no fooling you anymore.
I smell your hair.
Maybe I thought I could track you
silently and my feelings never
be traced by the intuition you have
but I was wrong.

You point it out on
the map of us.
The silly long roads I took
for a shortcut.
How you waited, with your
own knowing.
And how you are prepared to wait
for my knowing.
Until, like magic, I realise
that I don't want to make you wait
anymore.

I once closed my eyes to all
you are.
Now they are open
to all you are.
The only thing that stopped me
falling when I still
wanted to drop.
You.

You are now the only person capable
of calling me,
without ever opening your
mouth.
