Escape

 

a lingering vagueness of mind

is the door shut

no matter, the candle absolves

locks click, caged in

here i am

what i have become

what have i become

terror coarsens

parole from life

let it be

just this moment

allow me the escape

bring me to heights of ecstasy

and never let me come back down

irreconcilable thought

mind broadens

expands to fill the room

and i am lost in it

i cannot become what i am not

but we can be so much more

with you i am whole

my desire

dear Shea, love is thy decadence

misunderstood glance

and here we are again

if it could bring us together

i would employ it, marriage

sonnet, ballad, nocturne of the soul

sung at the midnight hour

only those that are awake can hear it

we hear it, we

and together we are, once again
