the prophet and the princess / john sweet

the prophet and the princess



or you and i

without warning


electricity


drugs


a shock to the heart,

either way,

and this is not drowning

this is flying


is not bottomless water

but endless blue sky

in every direction

and we are lost here,

                          yes,

but we are not blind to

the possibilities of  hope


we are not silent within

the jeweled fortress

of our hearts


the sound of desire

swallows everything
