Poem

I hold myself a prisoner 
A captive taciturn 
Unspeakable enticement still yearning
Since coming of age to discern

Yet never knowing 
Except in part 
The fullness to overflowing
In the cerebral cortex of my heart

The heart knows reason
Which reason does not know 
Inoculated by truth a lie will weaken
Like the dawn of a child in an embryo

For this the battle to bring heart to speech 
In mind, for one to live oft' another thing dies
It's the delicate balance when determined to please
Suspended between fulfillment's death and the giving of life

The beauty of a fractured symmetry 
Where thinking heart meets mind
To know this elusive camaraderie  
Perhaps in a world in eternities time

So I see myself in another life
Where sorrows hold no interest
A wistful smile proves transparent
While intensity conveys my signet

Warmth and wrath bear equal zeal
But I, an antithesis in perfect balance
A lonely vagrant thronged by faces
Embraced by insipid attachments

As honey brines by way of nectar
In homes fashioned with wax 
Void of every ignoble stinger
Known to propitiate the diffident task

Thus so masked I travel still
The duplicitous road yet shackled
Until my tongue finds clemency
From the demons my mind embattles
