Bleeding As I Breathe 

Introspection -

Deciphering codes ebbed in words

Unspoken -

The language of angels speak to me in tongues

Familiarity -

The once dormant emotion within me

Awakens -

Words flow in all directions

Leading to pathways -

Crossroads -

I rummage through my missing vocabulary

Find the Message entombed inside a dream -

Succumbing -

I bleed as I breathe

Gasping for air within a hidden chamber on my mind

Engulfed -

Angelic whisperings envelope my being

Serenading damsels in distress

Bleeding as I breathe

Enthralling words emerge out of a deaf’s sign

Magical -

Unspoken utterings waiting for the Perfect Time

To be revealed in a dream within a dream.
