Inferno

Thanatos comes, Thanatos goes Leaving me But taking my love Taking my freedom Taking my identity Leaving me riches beyond the imagination of Hades But reaped me of all that I hold dear Leaving me to grope for a hand that doesn’t let go Leaving me falling forevermore Taking my identity But I will rise as a great fire Raging across their perfection Rid of the parasites of those brave enough To stand up to their tyranny But waves crash Overpowering the poor souls Taking my identity Pressing them to liquify to become one with them Who torture Who embrace with a knife in hand Taking my identity Claiming they save But perfection is what they crave To rid the world of those with immunity To their waves of loathing Taking my identity But I will rise As a raging fire That frees the imprisoned brave That frees the identities Imprisoned by the nymphs Phobos’ grip let free Those of brave heart Phobos let free Those of intelligence Trance of surrender set free Raging fire Embrace them Imprison Fear Melt the chains of Phobos Of fear Raging fire has overwhelmed me Set me free Of my captors That stole my identity That enchanted me with their idea of perfection Of justice Of love Of calm Raging fire Burn away the shells of us That we have become at the tyranny of the water Raging fire Freed Calm that once enchanted Has been set to passion A raging fire Inferno Has set us free of their tyranny Date: March 20th,2019 Contest: 'Intensity' Sponsor: Julia Ward
