Running Like Madness

Trapped
in a dark place a silent place
Unfullfilled and alone
in a world so cold
and unforgiving of weakness
So ancient, so old
an unwritten code
Dancing in darkness
forbidden treasures untold
Lying in wait at the edge of the night
Tempting, so close
taking sudden flight
Flutters like snowflakes melting on the ground
Tremblng moonlight, whispery and faint
Singing so softly a frightening tune
Butterfly kisses
too gentle too kind
Too many too late
too lost in the night
Escaping this dark too silent space
Running like madness
losing the race
