Gateways

Former Member

A place to cross
a landing to be sought
shielded and guided through
but who are you

To lead my being,
crude and lustful
tried to be respectful
but I spoiled you

You were the helmsman
steered towards
I am the snake
the fruit
and the tree

Unsurety still of your essence
incense wafting through
carrying your intentions
and my misguided fortunes upon us too

Yes, I still wander inside your synapses
or at least try,
longingly wish to.
