Yours

I am no stranger to the desires of the heart,
Nor am I unaquainted with hope deferred.

My peace has been shattered, and I can't amend.
Volcanic insides boiling to vehement climax into words,
careful words, because this forest may not grow back.

Softly I step, for I am an expert escapist, but I am caught.
What good is this feeling wrapped tightly and bound?
My instinct is to guard, but all my defenses have fled.

This sheer cliff face is a familiar place to stand and stare.
What waits below could be bliss, nirvana, full blazing light,
or it could be the death of the culmination of me.

Can I jump and risk not being suspended by you?
All other roads led to deceit, further secluding me from myself.
Where is this road leading? Overshadowed by the darkness of uncertainty.

My mind has slipped into true dream, and all things are possible.
Emotions need not be afraid anymore, but welcomed and joined with
their kindred counterpart at long last.

I will run, but this time not away, and no distance is too far.
I am at home with the moon, and all her celestial brethren.
The universe cannot inhibit me from your presence.

But I dare it to try.
