Iniquity and Innocence
Iniquity and Innocence
Tentativeness tortures me.
Nervousness numbs me.
It is no surprise.
We have travelled and journeyed far.
Ambling – wandering, no compass, no directions,
No map to show the way.
Revelation, and concealment
Constraining freedom
Released yet tethered.
All neatly, fearlessly captured in the written word.
At the interstices the hidden unspoken words.
The reading beyond the text
It is no surprise
Tomorrow bewilders.
We know so much
We know so little.
We want but we cower,
We are brave yet afraid.
It is no surprise
Oscillating between regret and hope, iniquity and innocence.
Your words express the turbulent emotions.
Fear in fluctuating free fall.
No ripcord, no safety net
The ground rises to meet me
The lens of reality zooms in
and the risk crystallises into focus.
But I do not turn away, I am beckoned.
Excited and restless
It is no surprise.

Re: Iniquity and Innocence
I only just spotted this, CelticGoddess. This is mainly an ideallynotme thread but it's nice to see that the rest of us aren't afraid to have a go.
Theres a couple of lines I really like.
"Fear in fluctuating free fall"
"The lens of reality zooms in"
