Written in Braille

Written in Braille

My body is the sacred page

Upon which in Braille

I write,

Things that now I hide from you,

I cover –

Out of fear.



Tonight I pray, like every night,

Let my fingers guide

Your touch

Trace every single line,

Reveal me -

Out of dream.



My forehead reads: "I love the way,

You are so serious",

My lips,

In utter silence

Scream: "A kiss"-

Out of daydream.



My breasts carry a single line:

"Feel that is underneath",

A universe

To open wills,

For you -

Out of its realm.



Now turn the page with open eyes,

There is still more to read,

Let your heart,

Be faithful guide

And lead you–

Out of blind.
