Unredeemed
decayed as corrosion seeks a way to abort fear
into realms of subconscious oblivion-
seeking what needs to be seen, I gaze only at sights
ahead that lead to redemption;
enlaced and cuddled inside burlap (craving silk)
needing only one seal to close a letter to pain,
but you attach anguish inside the envelope in case;
signed with a signature from...
you
I sit confused; contorted-
I awoke this morn with silent dreams;
startled from all that delivers what might have been-
disconcerted with remorse I am left muddled and
confounded in a cave of self-pity and weakness,
trying to align my soft heart with a harmonizing
aria of brilliant tears, longing not to shed;
astonished and filled with surprise I close my eyes-
I see the my dusk meant for dawn in the eastern skies
