Unravel the Night - Dec. 29, 2012



Unravel the Night

Unravel the night as it nods off
to become a wall of darkness
until the sun looks into your eyes
once again
and you feel the pain of truth.
Then tell me what is real
among the promises we have made
and why the blood running through our veins
speaks of us,
as our hearts are seduced.

How can we continue to live on the edge
where each breath we take
challenges our bodies to become
victoriously in control?
When our hearts' wish to speak
of the need to see each other's face
and how love's flame burns
within our eyes then moves
inward to the depth
of our souls.

  2. first the seduced heart given completely then the flames burning bright in the eyes with lips telling you a moment of truth...where does the water come from that extinguishes the flames. That is when the other half of the coin is seen.

    1. Some say that it never comes, I tend to disagree.

  3. You always manage to strike at the essence of reality - " How can we continue to live on the edge
    where each breath we take
    challenges our bodies to become
    victoriously in control?" - potent images and many great lines in this write Neva!
