One More Step

( UP! We go...)

Words, candle flickers before your radiance

Spew, Them out like so much shit

So I can be rid of it

But not You

Whisper in your ear,

A name secret,

I dare not speak it,

A passage of air

None, the less, a fire flares

Of You and I become a wares

By the Merchant, with his deadly stare

There is only a penny in your pocket

More words,

Of a secrets secret (secret)

Unkown, from, whence, where

I dare !

out, out, flows the air

So, with it, are my cares

A screw, the merchant, and his bears

Stone, rain him with hairs

One more step up the stairs

(after step, after step, after step)
