The Assassin

And you slither

Your sword slaying the sheet

The pain and the hopes and the in between

Soaking the once safe sweet space

With delirious awakening

And you slither

Your claws slitting the sky

The anguish and the strength and the in between

Sneaking into the unconscious

With an apogee of relief

And you slither

Your eyes snatching the secrets

The unwilling and the waiting and the in between

Pushing the shyness

In the shimmering fire of the sun

And you slither

The ink of of you truth tattooing the soul

The escaped and the lost and the in between

Staring through the naked spirit

Inviting the world to see

You smothered us into pieces

Forcing us to bleed the silenced serenade

… the forgotten desires

… the abandoned paths

… the rejected selves

We stretch our hand to grip your strength

You push us to walk the solitude of unknown

You are merciless

And deep within our seeking

We know someday we will find you

Slithering with love
