Untitled
When I was 16,
I first heard the call.
The song in my blood;
Insistent, but small.
The bright burst of fruit,
A hint of the oak,
I felt wine in my veins
Sing the first note.
Then I was 18
Heading off to more school,
Had my first sip of coffee
And then the song grew.
Like a second voice
Added its tone to the first,
Singing sanguine,
And growing the thirst.
Then a full orchestra,
A symphony sound.
23 years old,
I was lost; now I'm found.
A fire, a flood
Aches in my veins.
A sweet burning,
An exquisite pain.
I feel a stranger's heartbeat
Start to drum in my cheat.
A soft voice croons my name:
It's divine, it's celeste.
Not just a bloodlust,
Not how I'm feeling.
This time the song
Calls for all of my being.
So I know where to follow.
I know what to do.
This call for my all?
It's simple- it's you.
