Take Me Away

One of my favorite poems. Inspired by running away, but not wanting to be alone.

Take Me Away 5/15/08

Take me away
Under a moonless night sky
I will follow your touch through depths of dark
Relentless across my fallen pride.

Carry me away
On a little leaf boat
In tedious tiny circles
Around your sandcastle moat.

Pull me away
From the monotonous grasp
Of the strong, shallow forest
Who begs me to pass.

Send me away
To meet our next destination
Where oblivion engulfs them
Whose minds emanate miscellaneous concentration.

Find me a way
Around a languid life lacking inspiration
Swallowed into alienation
Writhing for a breath of emancipation.
