Words in my blood, don't hide, don't hide--
nourish me; let me believe what I write.
My newborn dreams have bright blue eyes.
Speak to me now. They're not born to die.
There's always time for your practical
syntax to kiss me again.
Darkness, light, cerulean sky--
rule me at will, but you're my own design.
My greatest fears begin with lies
that bind me and, spitting, say 'you must decide.'
Am I simply naïve, or barely alive?
