Poem Title:
Poem
It came in the night Unannounced and silent To proclaim To torment the very thought Of a unitive reality Strategically moving As though life was nothing more Than a jagged piece of ivory Sliding along a glossy landscape That's painted black and white Hiding in a corner Shadowed by a single thought Which piece Which piece does one sacrifice When the opponent is nothing more than a Flicker of opposing thoughts created By a mind that's occupied by another The board is placed A line is drawn Though invisible It's clear what's at stake Chaos Madness Unity Peace Am I not fighting a war That's destined to be lost To be forced into madness Enslaved in the same vessel With thoughts that seek chaos This intrusion is less than desired Forbidden truth This unitive reality is the intrusion The unforseen shawdow The chaos It has always been my guiding light My torch in the tunnel of darkness Would that not mean Two sides Two different realities Cut from the same cloth Fighting To control the same flesh covered soul Maybe I'm just here to observe Maybe the war is not mine to fight It's not mine to control Or to judge which side is right Maybe I should stay hidden in my corner Allow both realities to merge With hopes of creating a new thought A thought that allows My hidden eye to see past The black and white Maybe the truth lies in the gray R.K.H
