A Need for Progress

Irrelevant are the revelries

that cast themselves upon me often.

Like beaten and weathered souls

we walk amongst the dead, whilst living.

Blackened hearts; unwilling, yet copacetic.

Life has come routine and bland.

The cold, and dampened sound

of another numbing day in and out;

only livened by the thought of you.

A pure and shimmering light

that echoes through the mundane.

Screaming out for me to be the change I dream.

How is it we hear each other; so far off shore?

Come drift into my widened pupils and remind me of who I once was.

Innocent and genuine.

Setting fire to my every fiber, this magnetic masquerade must end.

I feel I am made for something more when I am standing in your warmth.

So would you remind me of who I am, before the sunsets again?

And would you free me from the currents, that have long since been sweeping me out into darkness?
