Dietro la corazza

Raven black hair that curls at the nape,
Lips so soft they could cradle a babe,

Lashes that feather rosy cheeks,
Eyes that hold a twisted maze,

Arms so strong Hercules hides in shame,
Skin so supple Aphrodite quivers with rage,

But behind the brick wall ,
Lies a broken and jagged soul,

The cracks made wide by his shame,
The pain just as strong as his guilt,

Hidden in his laugh...a silent cry,
Under his bravado...a scared child,

I was drawn by his jokes,
Got anchored by the pain,

Through the chink in your armour,
I saw the vulnerability within,

I want to be the balm for your wounds,
The salve that drives the hurt away,

I want to be the reason the guilt fades away,
And joy leaks into the well of your heart,

Even if only for a while,
I want to be the reason you smile.
