The locksmith of my heart

The locksmith of my heart
By
Jude Kyrie

When the night is silent.
Deep into its slumber.
A bright moon smiles its bloom
as its doorway to outer space opens.
In the kitchen the dog sleeps.
Children making dreamy noises
In their rooms.
I feel the tips of her fingers
Upon my skin she is a locksmith
of hearts.
I have known her so long.
Familiar with its mechanism.
She uses the tools of her trade her fingertips
deftly and silently.
I can feel the tumblers falling
on the vault lock.
Her lips caress my skin
The combination has been broken again.
And the great door 
to the vault of my heart
creeks open.
All my emotions and love 
and desire are right there
in front of her.
She looks at the 
hidden pirates treasure.
And takes from me
everything that she wants.
And everything
I have to give her.
