Enpath

Life or death
to catch your breathe,
to fly away
or dare to stay
a friendship pact
or hideous act,
a curse or cure
a deadly lure?
To fight or fly,
eye for eye,
submit defeat
or kill and eat,
choose to spare
and end up where?

Uncertain paths
with tears or laughs,
this unclear
with no end to fear
where to follow
where to lead,
this time tomorrow
a dream to read.

A heart could sing
and words would bring,
the gentle touch;
lover, friend or clutch,
Nightmares rise
and nobles wise
east or west,
to where to rest?

Within thy wounds
and hopeful swoons,
the choice is yours –
on this intercourse.
