with a singular zeal
brute opportunity
convulses
drilling through logic and brain…
truth’s symbiotic force
took us on this visionary’s quest
letting our need of surrender
vanish
while settling for
a teeth-clenching renewal…
we slog nightly
through our unresolved dissonance
we’ve stepped beyond mere energy
to hostile thought and action
kindled mistakenly
by our human flaws
violation as tenderness
celebration as agony
dissonant chords, melodic
whisper their essence
soft-stirring through ash
of a once molton core…
is it enough to gash
this skin of broken heel?
on sharpened rock, it beads
gracious pain
through each nerve’s ending
leaving me unable
to step away…
will this dawning urge
throb through as guilt’s mourning?
pulsing beyond its muffled
future polarity
i watch helplessly
as it fades
captured by errant riptides
of cruelty
its essence
has swept and
vanished into
dark arms
of a midnight sea
