Unwritten Prisoners

Like spontaneous combustion,
  the words exploded

Molten lyrics erupting 
  from the great unknown

Their only warning…
  trepidation inside the reluctant 
  and unsettled heart

Their solemn promise…
  to free the unwritten prisoners 
  of confusion and doubt

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
