Transcend

Art by Roger Guetta

sometimes my voice leans into me and says 

i need to tell you something

it no longer wishes to belong to me

or to anyone else

but to flee

can you understand?

to fly away 

rising against the wind

impaling the sky 

circling the stars

slicing through orthodox chambers

ascending

transcending

beyond hope 

beyond impossibility

 

sometimes i you don’t dare desire

what did you say?

desire

you don’t dare

i desire desire

oh, how you do dare!

let it thread its way through my veins 

 

your blood 

 

i desire desire

 

let it rise

 

let it flare

let it flame

 

immeasurable

bold

igniting everything in my wake
