David Stearns Poet Blank verse

My Passion

I could write into the night
Into the night I find my light 
In each their hands they hold a key 
A key to be set me free
I ponder once and choose quickly
Afraid for this could desecrate me
I choose the left, no the right
And as the key fell down to me I reached out incessantly
I took the key and ran for the door
Where the truth beyond lay lure
It clicked it fit!
I had chosen well
The latter sure was hell
I pushed it through and walked into a world which I has never knew
The walls, the halls, the stairs, the skies.

The more I fought the more it filled 
Past and present future builds
Today the day to end all of sorrow 
Quickly now before the morrow
Make your choice and run for fun

I found my life while standing still
I made new life with each my thrills
I ponder more each day is new
One day someday I will return for you
Knowing now which key will be the next part of my destiny
I love the hearts of moments still
Be still and find your part

The part for me you will never see
I found it now and keep it well 
Hidden
From you, for me, forever be free
To be what I may be 
And I can fly into the night I can fly with all my might to find the words for me to tell the more
To find my hand in time to find what I may find
To make the moments longer
To make the days forever plays in each my midnight somber
I cry for me and let it out to touch the soul
Am I to die in this my mind with all this wonder?
I am to make it end for I have tried each key
And how, please how?
Can each it be another key?
I am tired my mind is sore I have no might to fight this fight alone forever more
If I am done then this world has won 
For this I am impure, unsure
I am swarmed with doubt
The darkness now it takes me out
For what is light without?
