nights brought security
and truthfully
your love brought sanity
saved me from iniquity
i was caught in a motionless dream
have been caught lately
lying through my teeth
feeling disdain for no certain reason
except for seeing your trusting eyes
feeling them burn ashen holes
through the back of my head
so perhaps you're a reason
not a cause
for my sanity
your love tipping the scales again
as i live live live
the requited iniquity
while i was caught and
confessed my crime
(what it was i can't discern)
left my evidence
hoping
love's persuasion, i suppose
but when you were gone that instant
night fell
and again, love took the moon
and again and again
you persuaded me of my sanity
it fell upon me somehow.......

Your poetry is so beautiful. I like your way of phrasing, it makes your words have a deeper meaning to me.
