Shadows beckon me to hurried steps Take my life or set me free May my labored breath be a testament To thy tight leash upon my will To my spirit—resolute and endless That I am free and free indeed
The indent of the red-inked pen speaks for itself Cursive lines tie themselves neatly into a bow around the box where my heart resides Un-creased Unopened
Dont say it out loud let us be in the love that knows no sound i dug it out of your eyes the way they dart when I pass by you drew it out of my lips lost in the past... found in your kiss Tell me your name and ill tell you a thing about fate
When the dust settles When the light is gone When the herd is ungated When the silence is great When what you see now Is naught but memory When all you felt then Is all you seek now When the plight is done When the reckoning’s come
Your silent surrender awakens the core of my being Your beautiful eyes they are the keys to my soul they open me from within Your talk is weak but your voice is strong and heard I don’t deserve this life of mine but you certainly do
Overwhelming from all sides But it’s easy to be lost in the waves of feeling that you’re stuck Arise now, march into the meaninglessness of your receding breath Weak now, more than it was last minute But yielding in was never an option
