A chance?

An untouched subject
a forgotten lore.
A symbol for so much more
lost in the harrows of society
tossed to a man - a deity.
Was it worth it

to forfeit?

I am staring through a tiny portal,
pretending to be anything but mortal.
A rounded gateway to

a lonely freedom


a vast unknown.



My hand becomes intertwined

with that of another's.
There is another heart beat in my enclosure.
The night sky is neither black nor void -

is there yet hope for the broken?
Taking my first tentative steps to an


unknown freedom.

Will he understand my fear?
Is he a victim or a volunteer

of this cruel concept we shall call life?



A perfect compliment

to my being,
allowing me to escape my own

immurement.

"You quote your world in equations

see the patterns that connect us.
While I transcribe mine to graphite and paint-



binding it to canvas."

And yet I find he can fix

my broken mind.

"You have relinquished you heart
giving me no time to depart.
So let me tell you about myself

my mind


my heart..."
