Poem II · Free verse · 2026

I Wish, 11

If you'll let me,
I wish to love you,
my friend.
Open your heart
and lie down in my eyes:
I wish to make you cry
those clouds in your head.
Let yourself go and shout to me
everything you cannot say.
You have me near,
you cannot drown.
It's all okay.
You will learn to swim.
