gladly into the unknown –

past the edge of sane –

i would travel –

just to be with you…

eyes closed –

diving – without hesitation –

into the all of you!

intrigued – i am –

by your evasive unresponsiveness –

your inability to return a touch –

hands clinched tight.

relentlessly i knock upon your door –

knuckles sore –

energy spent –

yet you –

contained within your enigmatic cocoon of un-trust –

refuse me access…

what ancient act of treason

confined you to this prison?

what hurt so deep impales your soul

that you cannot look up,

raise your head from the pain,

see me?

longingly i stare –

in search of sun on your horizon –

but i find only midnight shades of sorrow –

no trace of us,

in your tomorrow!
