I Beg of You
Body
do not break me yet,
my armour is cracked and fading…
Eyes
do not blind me now,
I have too much still to witness…
Hands
do not waste away on me yet,
my canvas is parched and needs nourishment…
Feet
do not forget my rhythm now,
I have too much bold passion left to emancipate…
Mouth,
do not go dumb on me yet,
my words are few but multiply in the minds of many…
Ears
do not isolate me now,
I have too much to realise and assimilate…
Heart
do not fail me yet,
my battle is far from over and no treaty is in sight…
Soul,
do not abandon me now,
I have too much fire for my phoenix to fly…
Mind
do not disremember me yet,
my sub-conscious has much still to fathom out…
Universe
do not conceal yourself from me now,
I am ready…
