Analysis of No Longer Love Denied



Lusting after a song unsung,
  I hunted through your fear

And trapped the demon that kept you mute,
 —whose blood drips from my spear

Desirous of your captive voice,
  I hung its head up high

And waited for you to sing just once,
 —no longer love denied

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
