Thorns In You

There’s a threshold you cross

when the book

starts to turn

it‘s a rook

Cheating your present of peace

Stories rewrite

Stars flee the night

judging the cover by look

There’s a dusty old line

in the sand

blown to bits

by my past

no longer tempting the muse

People can change

…a promise I made

Flight over fight, I’ll refuse.

Give and take

The ties that you break

Why, you can’t say

You don’t think that way

Come and go

No longer abide

Blood on your hands won‘t do

Judge not, the thorns in you

At the end of the road

in the dark

lies in wait,

like a shark

Teasing temptation and greed

Narrow my focus

Slaying my course

Not for lust, only to feed.

Give and take

The ties that you break

Why, you can’t say

You don’t think that way

Come and go

No longer abide

Blood on your hands won‘t do

Judge not, the thorns in you
