Serenade me
If you must
Know my will
Is my own
Deaf, these ears
To the Siren song
You still sing
There, all alone
Chances lost
They’ve ebbed away
Tides have turned
And, so have I
Nevermore
Not again
Will I be drowned
To quench your pride
Inveigle deception
Coaxes me along
Into a leisurely rising mist
Such, that I was unaware
Whispers echo
While in the distance
A halo of hope
Is slowly slipping away
Over the horizon
Where is mercy
Alas, hidden like a jewel
Salvation
Here to satiate my thirst
On wings like angels
Subservient to no one
Lest shadows
A beacon
As bright as the noon-day sun
Now, I can breathe easy again
Ahh…
My hopes are dashed
As the shadows deepen
Into the amber depths of bliss
What juxtaposition
Dark and light
Despair and elation
Long shadows traverse my path
Causing hesitation in my walk
Step by step
I climb the hill
Hoping and praying
The shadows disappear
