Minotaur

Minotaur


It's me: Theseus.
You've locked me out the maze.
You are twists and turns you've mastered.
Not to trap me in.
But to keep me out.
I can vanquish you.
I can remove your head in bloody glory love.
I can stab you at your weakest.
And as much as you want it.
You hide in dark catacomb quiet.
I can live with you here.
But can we take it outside?
I've learned to love in the light.
Much like you knew and wanted.
I can lead if you lead me out the ways.
I can follow if you allow one to follow.
I can vanquish you.
I will.
Let me.
I will.
Let me.
I will.
Let me.
Let me.
Let me.
Let me.
Please.
Open corridor.
Door.
Passageway.
Out.
I can take the violent monster in me.
Take the monster too.
Calm his horns in me by filing down yours.
Brush back his hair.
By taming yours.
Take him in your arms and model him down.
Back into the gentle man I used to be.
I'm lost in mazes without my man.
My man in animal you.
