R

There’s one letter printed on my heart
and it’s like a steel wire in my guts
Letter, yes – but it holds a universe inside
and it points at one thing beyond grasp

Let me come closer a bit
and try to get satisfaction of it
When I touch you I unfold the petals of blood
so enchanting with the one sound “R”

Every sound has its unique color, yet
no one can compare to its heavy, deep red
I was near at hand, I was close enough
to be enthralled by its spell for all time
