EXPOSED
by Edward Taylor III
My eyes widen with a sudden rush of blood to the head, Like a high school crush this lust has crushed all reason,
I grasp my chest to catch my breath, breathing in this moment, absorbing every detail, My body frozen in an intense spell;
Then they call me to front, each motion to the stage is a fantasy turned reality, Stepping to the microphone I switch my voice to swagger tone,
As I stand flat-footed,
I examine my gun, load my bullets, spoken word in the chamber, the crowd screaming for me to,
“Pull trigger!”
So I unleash words in rapid fire rhythm causing casualties of the mind;
Thoughts are transformed, spirits awakened, & hope is taken to new highest, metaphors pound on drums of the ear,
HEAR…
HEAR… HEAR…
The flow dripping from tongue, flood victims of poetic truth now I leave you,
Touched by passion & exposed to greatness,
NOW…!
