Phobia Prayer
Phobia? Irrational?
When was that the case?
Empire, art thou factional?
Fractioned by the chase?
Satisfaction? Where to find?
Thousand-faced, age-lined?
Freedom lurking in thy mind?
How the dark sun shined...
Vehicles, flutter about!
Effect what ye can!
Ailing aged, random rout?
O for, fate of man!
Shark in shallow waters?
He escapes from the tide?
Be-tentacled slaughters?
Deep wounds in his heart wide?
Transformation! Metamorph!
Poems writ in blood!
Causality, how you dwarf!
Ocean, cause a flood!
Chambers in the rutted deep?
Shadows, soar to seep.
Boneyard robber, do ye creep?
No more time for sleep!
Dun as yellow metal?
O gold, will e'er we meet?
Flower, hast thou petal?
Is silver just as sweet?
Almost. Related? And how!
Captain on the prow!
Audience to cow or wow?
Performer, take bow!
True, but after this, abyss?
Blowing death a kiss?
Serpent coiling, now to hiss?
Family to miss...
Thus, the storm to weather?
Well, if we can, we will.
Tougher than old leather?
Forever may fit bill.
Turmoil in the tamarisk tree?
Blossom by the sea...
White-capped waves as stern taut tea?
Tee off, O my plea!
Fee of ancient demon?
Exactly what to pay?
Kings and queens a-dreaming?
Waylay, O disarray...
