Live

lust for living

Live

 

not one to bow

or turn away

with defiance turn

and face the fray

whether numbing pain

or bitter wind

this is the only life we know

savor each kiss

take every blow

whether knitted scars

or lover's blush

each sensation

a living rush

it isn’t what lies up ahead

but here and now

we tread

with lover's sigh or rebel yell..

we with our life our story tell

we thrive...we lust

at times lie beaten

in the dust

this Earth

a stage

our battle wage

we...fearless...flail

our gleaming blade

each battle won

no excuses made

we warrior on

we must not fade

and one day

when our pain is gone

past sunset's glory

gleaming dawn

we’ll recollect

our life

our loves

our glory years

we rose above

unzip our skin

so weary...worn

battle scarred

where flesh was torn

our soul ablaze

amazed

a maze

of dreams

aspired...

 

..and victory won...
