What foolish notion guided my steps?
What mental vanity
paved my way?
misguided desire
to answer need
childish games
to fulfill desire
an inheritance of timeless mistakes
became my habitual code
leading me to emptiness
But through the clattering
cacophony of spiraling thoughts
came a voice
whispers of wisdom
reason without rhyme
and in my response
mind yielding
heart flowing
thundering expression came forth
red waves of passion
fingers out of control
groping to form the words
reaching deep
into the surging flow
for truth
for love
I bleed away the past that held me bound
in my tears
release the lamentations of a tortured soul
deprivation
separation
from the source of who I was
Oh, what sensations did I
feel
with the lifting of the drunken haze
the words
expressed
felt
as the moisture of adoring lips upon my flesh
a lover's warm caress
to speak forever more
in passionate tongues
and never to be the same again
