Rope
II'I'm not sure when it happened
when the dreaming stopped;
a guillotine chopped off my head

pain will choke a muse, perhaps
weighted hearts have no room
for such imaginings

the sounds, the pleasures
of making love in the licking waves
upon a moon-drenched shore

they are all still there waiting
when i send for them;
inclination wanes like a moon

it is said that to give power to others
is to show them your verity soul
handing them a crude rope

and we become afraid of saying
anything that can tie up our wrists;
fear is a known town...
