In silence my lips have been drawing the shapes
Of phrases, so vague and deprived of a meaning.
My dreams are about to find an escape
To where the end always meets the beginning.
My black and white fears have got an excuse:
I still have the world - in my heart and around.
I'm no longer free - I have something to lose.
The more I deny that my freedom has bounds,
The better I see them, the more my heart frets -
The twilight has failed to appease me somehow.
I'll lose it all soon, but I'll never regret.
My lips keep repeating: "Not me, just not now".

Hopefully this means the 'good' dreams will come full circle!

I love the way you start this...it is a very powerful write that you finish up very nicely (a lot of good content throughout, too)

This is interesting.  I keep reading it because I really like how the words flow and the thought behind them.
