Anxiety of love's coming surrender

thoughts of past relationship blues

where pain and bruises were rendered

emotional roller coaster of pursuits

dark alley lies of pure devotion

tortured links become chains for a fool

on knees of obedience and meditation

riding tsunami waves of dark intonation

i closed the revolving door of need

hiding desperation's face behind a mask

shielding my body in your evil deeds

and the unfilled promises do ask

naked brown ornamented rope design

your finger prints now a ruby necklace

my skin delivered and now again my

owned random futile thoughts in place

memories, sweet ballads of release

sonnets of naked blues in sad refrain

the body has found a temple of peace

the mind and soul a requiem of pain
