"Escape"
Sovereignty of the heart is critical.
Inside this lies the supremacy of love.
In the midst of your eyes dwell
The mightiest of qualities, proud, yet
like a dove.
Falling into your optical abyss
I find more on the inside than on the out.
Shimmering qualities, which try to escape
Are trapped behind glass, finally turning
about.
Such attributes escape not a
Visionary like myself.
Each glint of magic is separately bottled
And set upon my mind's shelf.
Bold like a lion.
Harmless like a cub.
With compassion, found only in a church.
With sex appeal, found only in a pub.
Dying to be explored.
Praying to remain the same.
Real life in one hand, in the other
a memory of childhood games.
Life is the colors of the rainbow,
Not just the shades of black and white.
Release everything you have to offer, blend
them,
And you will find your knight.
