Possession

A screen of smoke
looms ahead
as I step forth
in inches it mirrors

Undeniable the pull
for certain the fright
for inside there lies
a truth cannot hide

Now inches apart
its cold faceless breath
inhaled with a gasp
a ring round my neck
chokes my cry

To my knees it commands
engulfed in it’s being
his possession
bound and invaded

Now carried away
no will of my own
to serve and obey
in his clutches
I’m owned

The Lost Partner

Feeling the intimate ghost
Wandering the empty left in her wake
Searching internal for the familiar lost
A decision to shift motion to recover no matter the cost

To delve in myself, to search and discover
A journey I’ve yet to begin
For fear of the recovered
No longer ignored
Allowed freedom of breath
May be lost in the fray

I dance our dance
And remember
But in your place is only space
So I dance our dance
And remember

The fight rages inside
The damage done
How unfair and evil the breach
Ripped from my arms
Out of my reach
Awash in a sea of pain
You tried to hang on
Now lost in the darkness
I search in my dreams

I dance our dance
And remember
But in your place is only space
So I dance our dance
And remember

I dance our dance
And remember
I dance our dance
And remember
