Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here,
and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take you're breath away
And after I'd
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I stumble
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
to find the truth enslaved
Oh, you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes, dear
Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Cause' nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
I'll hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes

Tender, aching need. A world so unsatisfying as to be unreal. Silence that chills the soul, broken by something as simple and alive as a kiss. I see myself in these words and am swept away.
I described hope as a masochism. But, what if hope leads to something real? What if she reaches out from across the vast emptiness and tells me I am not alone, that she feels something for me too? The path is long and winding, strewn with thorns, and I don't know where it ends, but I know that my strength is boundless. I roll in thorns for fun. For a kiss, for hope, I would move the earth, shift the stars in the heavens, ache, bleed, cry.
I'm off the page now, in a place of raw emotion and abstraction. Suppose I better get back to that insane world I live in, and get to work on the pathophysiology silliness I have yet to complete. Peace be with you, folks.
