Anomaly

Brette Ashley Borow

A maze without borders
trapped in the touch of time
blinded in the silent moments
learning how to pantomime...

The presence of a statue
drowning by his side
gasping for the fresh air
allowing fear to subside...

Melting any inhibitions
freedom's what she finds
the obscure security
freezes the chaotic mind...

Tainted breaths of innocence
caught in the blue stained eyes
echoing a voice of confidence
an anomaly he defies.
