Trust Me

Hail to me

and hold my hand,

leave yourself behind.

Close your eyes

and trust in me,

see me in your blind.

Feel my hand,

gripping yours,

tickling your palm.

Absolve your worries

and clear your mind,

breath easy and be calm.

Hear our feet,

tap the ground,

sounding as we walk.

Your lips keep sealed,

your mouth stays lax,

there’s no need for talk.

I lead you on,

and as you follow,

your breaths begin to quicken.

Anticipating,

what you’ll see,

your heart will not be stricken.

We walk and stroll

and step and glide,

until finally we stop.

It’s now you notice,

the simple senses,

you all but had forgot.

The smell of fear,

the taste of dark,

you left back in the night.

So now your eyes,

begin to open,

to greet nothing but holy light.

Trust Me

this is such a lovely poem. i like the way you've left it to the imagination where you were, where you are leading this person. and it feels as though time has slowed down and ur documenting every change in feeling. to me personally i had the vision that you were a male celebrity leading a female celebrity down the red carpet into an awards ceremony. so the holy light i envisioned came from the flashes of the cameras. athough because you used the word holy could it possibly mean that you are god leading a person towards the light who has just passed away? i like the contrast between light and dark. i thoroughly enjoyed this poem i read it twice!
