now run,
run, run, just run...
now run away
run free
run away from me
now run away & don’t look back
just run,
run, run, run free...
cut the cord that measures the distance between us
I drop the line yet pull you even closer
use the cord to tie me down as you fade out of focus
don’t look back, just run...
run, run, run away...
I can’t hold you here anymore
set me down & turn around
into the infinite intimate
you are free
now run,
run, run, run away from this...
feel my hand in yours once more before you go
go free, go on, go ahead
don’t look back for me
you won’t need my hand anymore
I only want you to be free from this
please run,
run, run, run away from me
don’t look back, just run...
keep running until you reach the spheres of sleep
and there I will see you again, very soon
so don’t look back
rest your weary eyes facing forward
and soon I will be running over the opposite horizon
running to you, once again...
this should be fairly self-explanatory (no?) - i'm usually not this simplistic in my presentation, but the prevalent mood seemed to demand nothing else. filed in the "Romantic" poetry category because i wanted it to feel (to me) as romantic as possible in the classical literary sense, not in the carnal sense that my male brain unfailingly reverts to. category definitions here seem surprisingly narrow-minded for all the emotions i always wish to express while writing. but that's neither here nor there... anyway, this writing was just something i had to do...

dude, you do know that romance isn't just love it's all emotions and nature and horror and gore too right?
This is great. You may have used simplistic style but the undercurrent of the feeling is strong.
Very few people can do that.
