‘twas on a day like this
before the silence of heartache
that fate held sway and twisted
into a maze of knots
and trundled out the door
in search of something more.

My hand held like a desperate need
it pulled, questioned, and revealed,
the mystic land of ecstasy
and the plight of love
unable to sustain itself
without effort and desire.

A wanderer, intruder, into happiness
a voyager into the depths
of emotional connections
and an explorer
of human boundaries
so easily shattered
when fate says,
“This is love”.

Around the corner, down the road,
following the sun,
I travel so entwined
with fate’s uncertain mind
a prisoner and hostage ...
but if I had a hall
forever there an echo  
of the silence of heartache!
