Born to be Free

My crushed heart yields sweet cranberry blood
Have a taste and let me know if you like it warm

My breath still burns its winter passion flames
Drenched as it were by tempests of gloom

Do not worry dear friend, my madness touches those touched at the brow by the burning ashes of life

Who shed daily driblets of tears and laughter and fill 
Pots of time with plastic trinkets of nostalgia

Their moods mingle with seasons and light, with 
Rain clouds and summer winds, sultry afternoon sands

They search for the source in sunsets and tsunamis 
Dramas, other people's traumas, in pride and the self

In losing and giving oneself, they seek to find you,
Who have never lost yourself. You, my prince.

My peerless friend, you, who needs neither 
ashes nor sands. You, who have been 

Born blind to pain. You will be free.
