In the Rage of Reality

Slowly it bubbled and seethed
 rolling around my psyche
 leaving magenta trails of rage
 that were slick to the switch

I traveled a thousand paths
 and read a million books,
 elusively 'it' remained veiled
 burning the lava heating my rage

I wore a domino and understood
 nothing of your world,
 living in a reality so skewed
 it warped, buckling it imploded

in the debris among the questions
 I laid in silent fury, breaking nails,
 and peeling at the veneer of this mystery
 I found an onion with a million layers 

my search ceased as sanity fell
 the novel idea of knowing vanished,
 and now I no longer need to know
 I release you from our undertaking

searching for the answer
 I performed alchemy
 I am now magically unleashed
 on a windblown night 

forever is moving forward
 I go with it into the ether
