Your Passion Summoned Me

My darkened dungeon beckons forth

a light has filtered, spewed

Casting shadows evermore

my thoughts have now ensued

 

Mingled haste has now become

engrossed with weightless hope

Tangled words on bitter tongue

still sing a soured note

 

Shall I linger but for more

than all the world can give?

Or shall I wish for you to love

and me, to simply live?

 

In darkness, still my heart remained

in rhythm and in rhyme

Longing wish and bated breath

have stood the test of time

 

Never more to walk diffused

eyes veiled now clearly see

My darkened dungeon is no more

your passion summoned me
