Sweet Escape

The unprecedented territory beckons to man

Willing him to relinquish the fountain of youth.

The sweet taste of letting go so nothing else can fall on you.

The opening of your lungs to the life within is the breath that is breathed into the nostrils of sin.

Oh, I know it’s a taboo and overpowering desire that flows in my veins.

I long to experience the sweet escape,

The passion and the pain are proving futile,

The drummed-up memories are not enough to keep me sterile.

Frozen in time and space, your laughter no longer has an effect.

Your presence no longer breathes life.

I desire and long for the escape.

Leaving to enter the unknown world of bliss that is enough to take away my pain.

I smile at the adversities because we are friends now.

I smile at the danger that persists,

The mental strain that lingers and envelopes my being.

I cry out into the darkness and it beckons me within.

I am drowning in the air of life, seeking to fulfill and begin.

I must stop now, the pleasure is no longer gratifying,

The burning coal sets into my flesh imprinting the destination where I must give in.

Your smile is no longer niggling about in my head

but has left an indelible print on my brain.

I wish I could take you with me, but you wouldn’t approve

for where I go is a neverending swirl of existential proof

that this is where I belong and need to be.

The Empty is waiting.

It calls my name and sets me apart.

I drift along a dangerous path that has a blossoming taste of bittersweet joy on my tongue.

The is not a place for someone like me.

I know. But it’s a place I long to be.                                                                                                                                                      The yearning of my soul pushes me closer

The belting of my lungs as I scream to be pulled to the surface is getting weaker.

My feet are dreary.

My arms are flailing.

Into the belly of the beast, I find myself wrapped and tortured.

Awake with bliss because it is over.

Knowing I would never have to feel the tumultuous torment that lingered on my skin.

I am going now…I am gone.

I loved you once and it will never end.

Be good and never bend

to the conventions of a world that approves everything in the mouth of sin.

Live. Love and Laugh. I am always with you. Just look within.
