To Be


Unreasonable

Can you feel the power of this word?

Erecting electrical fences that spell out in crimson red

“TILL HERE AND NO FURTHER”

When you spread your wings wide

And prepare for the flight

Not knowing that your feet are glued

To a very ‘reasonable’ ground

Growing roots so thick that might suffocate a poor life



But ‘Unimaginable’, now that’s your word

As it rolls off your lips and the tip of your tongue

Dancing within your cavernous mouth

Up and down and up and down

Can you taste the adrenaline yet?

It is the wingless flight high above those fences

It is the mad dance of feet reclaiming the empty roads

It is Life, spelled out in crimson red



A thousand reasons to live

Versus one burning desire to be

Free

Chaos runs in streams
Down her shoulders
In uncontrollable tresses
A glimpse of her untamed nativity

Few can take the plunge
Into the dark of her eyes
An abysmal beauty
She swallows you whole
If you let her

The symmetrical savages
Her lips
They hold back the fire
Frozen in place
She won't burn you
While she burns away

A hand traces her outline
Easing through the hotter parts
Down, down, deeper
There is more than blood
That courses through her

You stand too close
Unnerved and excited by the climax
Closer still, to her mystery

And you wait
You wait
Till she sets herself free
