Facing Fears in an Empty Barn

The fight between good
and evil
is only a state of mind,
a moral conquest.
If you listen you can hear
the visceral heartbeat,
beat, beat, beating
to extremes,
taking a rhythm
within personal conflict.
Old ideas become
new worries in
the imagination
of the imaginative.
Whether it be a
black comedy or
tragedy,
common sense tells you
to overlook
the obvious
ethical implications.
It’s survival of the fittest,
surviving your
own state of mind.
Can you survive
unconditional love?
Will unconditional love
survive you?
Facing your fears
in an empty barn
reminds you of a
childhood,
and the unknown.

Warm air - flowing (stop)
over my skin -
smile on my face...
a little High feels good.(stop)
That’s what I want - I want
to feel like that. (stop)
When I looked in your eyes,
they shimmered - for me. (stop)
I should have (stop)
I just (stop)
should have -
taken you there.
I would get up - and dance, (stop)
I would -
lick that mouth clean (stop)
of those dirty thoughts -
your eyes expected.
I want -
to stay with you (stop).
