Description
I can see a flicker of fireBeyond your distant stare
Your eyes are socket shadows
Cast deep through curly hair
Your strength is faintly glowing
And it grows as each day fades
A supernova scorching
Just behind a dying flame.
A finely tuned machine
Assembled simply for success
You're miles past the finish
And not waiting for the rest
The field famously failed, for
The victor always wins
Forewarning future fatalists
Of their untimely end.
A peaceful march of martyrs
Masking violent intention
Your veneer is strong as steel
Yet waves freely in suspension
A warning you require
"Please, do handle with care"
For when the mask has melted
A tempest finds you there.
A clash of frowns and smiles
Like a drunken high school teen
Your emotions spin on random
Like a Vegas slot machine
Pity to the bastard
Who set fire to your fuse
And caused a fission-fed explosion
Filled with wanton self-abuse.
A counter-clockwise spiral
Or a calm after the storm
The end is just beginning
Like the day on which you're born
You cry because you're doomed
And with every breath you take
You age and gain acceptance
And life, you will forsake.
A simple glass-top pond
Not a ripple to be found
The churning mud deep underneath
Has settled to the ground
Your subtle sigh of empathy
Shows signs of life once more
Your curly hair, now silently
Lies flat against the floor.
