Ruin Runs Thick there are many things in which I dread locked in no path to passions bed just letters written on prison walls at times no ink just blood in scrawls a heart that beats against the brick in thin you find ruin runs so thick from running fast and standing still seems to pour through cuts trust won’t fill hope finds no clear place to enter in too much, too tender beneath my skin and you speak of where flowers grow but beyond these walls no blooms show just arms length of hands beyond my touch and just one inch measures much and still I swim to river wide and drown in moon’s current tide and suffer my lust beneath my dreams another sacrifice given veined in my seams |

Another piece for my library. Wonderful job, Helen! A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground |
