Poem: Path of Desire

She didn’t know what he meant

But she followed him

Into the cloudless night

Not even the bitter cold

That held her hands

Could stop her heart beat

As it hopped into his arms

Penetrating his mysterious armour

It was an intense feeling

That pushed her into his path

Like an arrow

Piercing the path of the unknown

She was a bullet

On a collision path

With the heart of a lion

She did not care

About tomorrow

She was like a breath

Entering the nostrils of life

She was full of carelessness

Like a wildfire

She was ignited

To burn this wilderness

She was propelled

By a dark force

Into the pit of darkness
