Anticipation

Emotion that I can no longer contain -
Seeps quickly from my fingertips;
A desire that has finally taken me -
I hear my own words leaving my lips!

A wanting I have kept silent within me -
Now, known by the one who knew not;
My fear of saying has left me dry -
In complete darkness, I fired the shot.

Leaked words have left me relieved -
No more secret heart left to bear;
I've gone off into the distance -
Hoping you will follow me there!

Unknown to the place to which I lead -
Knowing, though, pure bliss awaits;
Bringing down the fearful surrounds -
Knowing, all that my being anticipates.
