bound by a tangled map of veins
where blood no longer chased,
hidden by clouds
that sailed the sky,
the air exhaled to herd the mists
would not return to my cage of life
I sent my shadow
to search the sun and his cloak of rays;
I stole the moon
to journey where darkness built his castle.
and days ran through my weary soul like dancing children
as if they were hurdles barely knee-high
a strand, washed white by the floods of loss,
charged into my eyes, for first they scrambled shut
in emptiness, the unspoken passion that I buried alive,
screamed and rang true
the stars did not falter
as they unraveled the grave
life pumped back into those veins
where our promise gave her first cry again
where blood no longer chased,
hidden by clouds
that sailed the sky,
the air exhaled to herd the mists
would not return to my cage of life
I sent my shadow
to search the sun and his cloak of rays;
I stole the moon
to journey where darkness built his castle.
and days ran through my weary soul like dancing children
as if they were hurdles barely knee-high
a strand, washed white by the floods of loss,
charged into my eyes, for first they scrambled shut
in emptiness, the unspoken passion that I buried alive,
screamed and rang true
the stars did not falter
as they unraveled the grave
life pumped back into those veins
where our promise gave her first cry again

I really enjoyed the metaphor regarding darkness and his castle. Sometimes I think it's difficult to find the darkness in us as well as resist it and the fortitude between those elements can make things very maddening and unhinged.
You had a great opening line too!
