Past and Present

Under the canopy of darkness

through the doorway to oblivion

desire takes hold

a desire to tear away the exterior

beyond the emotional intent

An unknown feeling of burning pain

enters the body

through over reached sensory organs

creating the oneness of being possessed

A profound significance

like blood needing oxygen

takes hold bringing forth a light within

and a burden carried for years

Releasing the past

to enjoy the future

comes with a price
