Untitiled...for now.


Where temptation led I went
I did not linger where it stayed
My toes caressed the edge of lines
But the cost to cross, I never paid

I felt the thickness of desire
Resistance wore me thin as slate
Remembrance of my heart’s inquire
Caused me now the line to hate

Back pedaling, my calves grow weak
The dust-stir rids my eyes of sight
I slip, a cliff, I catch a branch
My fingers red with lack of might

One by one they lose their grip
Where I’ll land is not foreshown
But then into a net I drown
Reminded I am not my own

  1. I think it should be called "Victorious Retreat"
