Terminus

you fell softly

back into my life

like a promise to

predate all others

pressed on my lips

good intentions tile

the road we traveled

to get here but

speak not of the

terminus today

hell be tomorrow

no god can stop me

from being the

devil you need

tonight

Terminus

Hello, IO,

I felt the urgency in those final lines. Can only wonder about the poem written in the morning - hell be tomorrow.

Very strong,
