Spinner of My Fate

@ uootem

In this moment the Fates are pulling me
into your essence... I have no want but to enter
I feel you lulling me sweetly with your siren's song
coaxing me slowly... out of my self and into blissfulness.

You are the Spinner of my fate... you have taken me captive
(but do I hear you giggling with delight at what you are doing to me....)
as you weave the threads: those golden threads... that bind my soul to you
binding the destiny of this clueless mortal... such a foolish poet am I.

I feel you enticing me away from all that I have known
is there a method to this madness... is this where I belong?
or is it simply something not meant to be understood?
first down this pathway.... now down that
crisscross and cross-stitch... the intertwining paths
and when it feels like the threads are in knots
does it simply mean.... I have lost touch with reality?

Are you deliberately keeping me in this state?
is this confusion intended... or is it all just for pretending
do the Fates make folly as you dance with the threads
that connect our souls.... and command my destiny?

Or is it more our distraction... by the loudness of lifetimes lost
that drowns out all other voices... until I am no longer sure
of where I am.... or where I have been....
and I find no future that I desire but one spent with you.

Is it different for you, non-believer of fate and such similar things...
not troubled by thoughts such as these, such as this
do you still hold firmly in your belief... that there is a man in the shadows
a man that is your destiny and that he is not me?

Search in the shadows of your soul... those shadows that haunt you still
and find the light that is there to guide you to where you belong...
and I pray that you find me there... for there is no life within me
if I have always been nothing more than a shadow to you.
