Fall Softly
By Temerity
Softly I'm awakened by insistent hands I'm shaken from the void.
Cautiously
I rise as the bliss of slumber dies, and I'm annoyed.
Dying
in reverse, mumbling I curse through the pain.
Blinking, dry eyed
stare, I can see you standing there without shame.
No hands
help me rise, deaf ears don't hear my cries, my heart stumbles.
Consumed
by your wanting ever present and undaunting, my hope crumbles.
Fall Softly, my spirit into this waking Life.
Kiss the lips of your
betrothed, your mate whose name is Strife.
