The Bell Tolled

A Spoken Word Soliloquy

I tolled the Truth

Like bells from my lips, lapped

Up by your soul

Divined guidance and

Windswept chimes

No judgement eyed

Between us for God

Had already seen us, deemed

Us worthy and suited.

For the plans he had executed

Execute my demons

Slay my ego

Watch wherever we go.

And still so

No more do I reckon

The value of myself whole

The bell doth tolled hear though

And no reality unfold

False heroes

While my soul

Is broken from the mold

Of integral gold

Once again the chimes

Ring bold

From parted lips

The bell doth toll.
