Replying to a comment on:
mountain creek (Free verse) by brazen
rippling across the water
moon light caressing waves
reality drifts to subconscious
at the doorstep of a maze
and I would but ask the world
for just a moment more
in an hourglass prison
of sweating flesh so pure
if only to concede
morality in its right
swiftly stealing whispers
beneath the sheets tonight.
this ordeal is my Heel
stabbed by a wistful bow
it brings me to my knees
the one weakness I know
mind a poisoned playground
brimming a lack of composure
from succumbing so sinfully
and releasing all disclosure
about a disease spreading
ravaging my free will
lies secret in the shadows
truths too dense to spill.
to gaze upon tomorrow
is to see beyond a tale
an unwritten treatment
a ship not yet to sail.
