• I can’t write
    My intellect has been locked in a box
    And burned with the ashes
    Of my burning heart so full of love
    So trapped behind the word with no boundaries
    It attacks and slaughters
    It wins and takes the helpless
    Renders them into slaves
    Stripping them until they are bared naked
    With only their fear of rejection to show
    Love sits me down on a pedestal
    Only to be judged by a jury of one
    Where the voice is unanimous
    And fills me with a conviction
    To fall to my knees and weep
    So I am found worthy of a life
    Not behind bars and kept away form my world that revolves around the sun
    So bright that judges me.
    So am I guilty?
    Yes, only for loving a man and holding back
    I’ve kidnapped my feelings and locked them in the basement of my mind
    Keeping them away from the escape
    Where they can run around and announce
    All the things they have seen inside
    Calling the news where the anchorman will say,
    “and now to Jack, in Priscilla’s membrane,
    where her feelings have just escaped.”
    Jack will reply,
    “Yes, I’m at the site that Priscilla has been holding hostage
    the victims from her heart.
    In the cells right below where she creates her lies.
    The searches were unsuccessful because they were kept
    Locked so close together and undetectable.”
    And I will be arrested and sat once again
    In front of the jury that I lie to
    And then condemned to spend eternity
    In the sea of lies that my heart poured out
    To protect itself from being broken
    My ship’s masts still set at sail
    Waiting for the winds to blow hard
    That I might find the island where a treasure full of courage is hidden
    And love will no longer be feared
    But will find itself on defense as I pull my offense
    Ready and steady I charge
    Taking my chances against its massive torches that burn me alive
    Until I am with the ashes of intellect
    Waiting for my sun to shine life into them
    So I can take form
    And we will set sail together on Le Amour
    Searching for a chest so full of admiration
    That Le Amour will sink to the bottom of the sea
    And our burning love will drown together
    Taking its endless possibilities
    And becoming a treasure of it’s own.
