Simplicity

He Saw Her

She seemed to bring
Brightness enough
To fill every space
Each spirit encountered
Sated with joy

She seemed to bring
Tranquility enough
To calm every storm
Smoothing out those crests
Found in troubled souls

She seemed to bring
Softness enough
To soothe every pain
Calming that raw ache
Of those forsaken
But he saw that
She was more
Than what she seemed

He saw right through
Her brightness
Into her deep need
For the immoral hunger
Sated by their transgressions

He saw right through
Her tranquility
Bringing a torrent
Of the impassioned lust
Craven by her soul

He saw right through
Her softness
Soothing her wanton
Raw ache with his
Forsaken desires

He
Saw
Her
