How I Wish to Set It Free

"How I Wish to Set It Free"
Written by: Red Lady

.....old dreams seemingly never fade. Though I may try.

Little by little they tie together to form knot upon knot...

An escape route out of my own stone window.

female wraiths in the distant glow

They call my name persistently... beckoning me to come to their embrace.

It is easy to say that it is wrong...

But it is just as hard to say no.

I can see their glistening gowns billowing in the breeze.

There's three of them, but only one's silhouette breathes into my soul

As I see the full moon rising from the horizon on the black sea.

Waves wash upon the shore... I can almost feel myself drifting away

As my feet stand in the sand... I am being drawn out to sea.

Oh if only the depths could swallow me whole

And then nothingness would presume.

If only bliss could be the welcoming of my desire

And I could follow in my wanton footsteps.

The wraith calls out to me so beautifully...

She calls my name to come.

If I could persist in resistance... but I am being drawn further and further out to sea.

I see them dancing under the stars and they hum to me a siren's wish,

I remember that age old song, though it only be a few years old.

I remember the tears I wrought and the anger I sowed.

How I caged my emotion... and now I try to distill it.

I look down at my milky palms

The sinews in my arms distinct

I can feel my heartbeat deep within

And though I clamp it shut, the chains to its cell thump... thump... thump to the beat of their song.

How I want to just set it free.

If I could have been blind? No... I cannot forsake Truth.

But how I just want to set it free...
