Release
The earth shifts beneath my feet
I feel the heart of the city streets
At the foot of my bed beauty sleeps
and beckons me to dream
a quiet voice inside my head
whispers words better left unsaid
so I rise in the darkness
and write them down instead
wisdom and chaos wrapped in pretty paper
emotions that flutter like butterflies
released from captivity to reach the skies
I am creativity tonight
Imagination illuminated by computer light
I wash myself of all unclean
kissing goodbye anything obscene
I unwind this tension that I feel
by writing the words and dare to peel
back the many layers of my psyche
until I am left with just the real me.
