Open up your gates

Open up your gates those gates that you bolted, through you love is seen yes her embrace is elusive but you are her muse through your eyes she beckons. Open up your gates so this soul of mine gets entry, you are more than beautiful pain's claws might have scarred you but love is your new identity where you go she follows. Open up your gates lest it shuts forever, keep our memories safe this world is temporary yes it is just a phase a phase I wished went better I see you for the queen you are. Open up your gates to the souls you'll meet, some may scar you some may need your touch some may fade away but they'll leave a mark a mark worth keeping. Open up your gates to the voices that call, beauty is what we seek through your smile this soul lives to breathe let the voice of love be heard so we rejoice. ©Adiela Michael Osiah
