Resist

Sweating fingers

Touching her cheeks

Brushing her hair

To the side

As his arms

Turn her to glide

Twisting turning

Life seems so unreal

Smiles on both faces

Something that can’t be replaced

Figure hugging dress

She is there to impress

Light filters the air

Sound of music

Is fulfilling

They are lost

Touching lips

Lust is laid bare

Capturing hearts

Captivating eyes

Smiling back

To him

Is this real

Or just a disguise

Affliction

Out in the distance

No one hears

His prayers

On a boat

Floating away

All that covers him

Is an old

Woollen coat

Silence is his enemy

Freedom is his friend

Time spent in his head

Only him to defend

Water ripples

Beneath him

Dragging him

Further away

Scorching skies

Turn to dark

In an instant

Plaguing him

Into retreat

Not wanting to defeat

Worries they

Carry him

Further

Much further

Until the

The line breaks

Softening as

He awakes

Eyes widen

Sun it returns

Returning to land

He is the forgotten son

Pardon

Embodied excited

Feeling drenched

His isolation

Is his proclamation

Shadows of past

Tap his shoulders

Holding onto

His burden

Fighting through

Fields of old

Stories of the past

Lives memories

Begin to unfold

Tortured thoughts

Walls capture

All he

He has fought

Spark

Tampered edges

Skin it pulses

Scent of him

It repulses

Guarded mind

Sheltered heart

Voices they echo

Time keeps

Them apart

Thrown into

The wild

Eyes gather

Tights lather

Dripping dropping

Night scented air

He is like a rabbit

In her snare
