I fear people not dreams,
Never used to shine in rhymes,
Someone asked,
‘What do you fear?’

Death,
Life,
Purpose,

Death my purpose,
Life my highway,
I don’t fear triangles or squares,
Instead,
People are who I fear,

In darkness,
99 names resurrect light,

Hope,
Despair,

Flashes prolong pleasure,
Compassion diagnoses disease,
Sincerity heals,

Tell me it ain’t true,
I don’t need to rest,

My hair falls,
Shoulders rest at ease,
Shadows race to please,

As the curtain closes,
We rest,

My ear against your chest,
Heart beat paces,
Lips sanctify,
Death arrives…
