Saturated Bodies of Ink and Blood

Progressive letters talk and reel
Tempting minds at the brink of fruition
Imaginative portents come to being
Through the exchange quality of mental travel
Ideas fashion acclaim and source the brain
Stimulating fervor glows mutant at souls pestering

But when boundaries come to claim
Their acute diatribes of definition
Suspicion sets precedent 
And bodies are blocked from exchange
Love loses commotion
And falls on the reign on unjust heads

Come through fire and change
The ringing dance of changing times
Rewinding a renewed past to press the future
Set upon homes and dark roads
Jungle heat captures gestation
When all human plans fail again

Now a story of pride set on sails
Gyrates and flails from mythic seas
What facts miss, emotion drives in hiss
Bleeding like battered bliss
To regain a sorcery of concerted mind

Life itself burns at both bridges
Growing ashes amidst flames and scattered brains
Ink splattered
Porous hole in memory takes shape
Yet mountains of lives grow thin
Categorized from bland overtones and underlings
Blood gathers barbaric at contact

From shock therapy progressive motion
Minds regain power out from distortion
Ink settles in firm consolation
Healing all breaks of skin
And the ripples unseen bend again
