CODES (Espinela)

My first attempt to Espinela form

Codes help me where I have to lead
And then to end my every thought
Light in my mind which I have sought

But I’ve been a slave of my creed

  A driven heart that I must feed
  Let my being drowned in his care
Like a soft scarf that I must wear
  His words could mend, I must admit

But codes are strong, I would submit

Unless my love could take me there...

I see your creative mind is trying new things, going towards new horizons which is wonderful.
"feed my being with love and care
Like a soft scarf that I must wear"
