How do you comfort the eyes that have shed a thousand fold tears
Gently touch the heart that has closed the doors behind itself because it has given up on love over the years
Kiss the chest once warm that has ceased to hold burning passion and has become cold
How do you embrace the arms that have become chilled because of the affliction that has convinced them not to hold
Reignite the mind that controlled all of these functions but has lost the will to indulge in the metaphysical
Now it has deemed emotions insignificant and categorized them with the whimsical
Heal the palms that bleed, quiver, and convulse from the absence of something to grasp
How do you prevent the soul from relapse
I was there I witnessed the previous state
If it goes there is no coming back, the first time was a miracle escape

Quote from "Kahlil Gibran"
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires
