Coyote Fiction

Gushers pouring all around Beating drums come thundering 'round Stifled by a man I do not know--I've never seen Feeling a familiar feeling long since passed Forgetting where my journey is supposed to take me Distracted by my heart Giving in to sinking feelings of love & adoration Lost in a web of contradiction Fighting thoughts of grief & benediction Living a mundane life made-up of fiction Transfixed in the aftermath before it's begun Fixated on the past, never living in the present My heart belongs to Daniel; my soul belongs to God Caught in a tug of war between happiness & sin Always mute for fear of scorn The feeling is forlorn for I cannot confess my love I cannot christen my heart for fear of treason I confess my love for God with my lips, but my heart is far from him I unknowingly surrendered my heart into the hands of the cunning deceitful coyote He came to me in a dream masked as an angel of light He whispered words of flattery & charm: he lulled me into his arms He captivated me with his words of love & blue eyes of sincerity He vowed to be everything I needed, in exchange I do the same His name resonates every time I think of him Standing in the sun, fading into the light Wallowing in tainted memories of a promise that never came He left me without a heart He corrupted any hope for a true love.
