Sold it off to Hope

In the desert where I stand
Sand slips from below my feet
It all seems like a trap now
For I mistook mirage for peace

With searching eyes I look back
For one more glimpse of you
If I could, I would bargain my soul
But I already sold it off to HOPE

Something felt like love makes an escape, Chants will die, and nothing will brace.

Uncertainty of time and day seemed liberating to this obsolete lump of flesh which continued moving into an elusive blankness. An intricate work of fainted lines was surfacing on the skin, while my mind was still held captive to the new design. Notions, reasons and ideas no longer were allowed to cross the barricade. Faith in the end slipped away from the hand, and hope instead argued its way in. This hope which grew in the land of destruction only could have thrived in the da...
