drowning in the earth



I saw him, his wings black, in robes of white, his long brown wavy hair.
Calling to me to rescue him from the fires of hell.
His name whispers in my ears.
Like the oceans in the night.
Am I in love with this creature?
Am I like him? Am I bound to the dark?
Like him…
Like him I am in love but drowning in my thoughts.
Help me see the light. For I am blind!
So anxious and thoughtless inside.
I can’t make up my mind.
To love or not to love this creature!
I am drowning in the earth he walks on.
