Invitation
In the face of your love I'm a coward to give
Your demands, your totality makes me afraid,
Weak to respond to such strength and such fire
Trembling to pursue a love so true.
Desiring, yet dreading, drawn reluctant
To a flame devouring, all consuming,
Taut with resistance against the love
That demands such total giving.
Tempting- the joyless comfort of darkness.
Tempting- the undemanding shadow.
Oh! Let me run and let me hide
From this love which will embrace my all!
Night of Indecision, night of pain
Dancing and taunting and laughing before me.
Oh! In the comfort of your shadows-
Let me curl up and let me sleep.
