In the teardrop light of the misty moon,
the apparition shimmered and swayed.
Concern that victory would leave too soon,
evaporate and offer me, full splayed.
Cracked, fractured, delicate psyche open,
bare, and opiating into nightscares.
Turning soon to stare, reflect. I. Broken.
How much can one asseverate he bears.
The teardrop light now glimmers as golden,
pure and unfettered by dark delusion.
Chasing shaky hubris to embolden,
encourage, brilliant gorged transfusion.
POLITICAL ARGUMENT?
Why seek the facts to prove and advocate it
When we can just declare, asseverate it
When all the press republish our assertions
That many take as dogma like Cistercians
If media take this meme and gives it voice
Reality is fixed, forget free choice
Clairvoyant the love,
Which nature can give,
Which you can heave,
In the heart very deep.
Caress it with your presence,
In this bivouac,
Asseverate your presence,
With the hymn’s in its favour,
Rejoice yourself in this oblation,
Of its creator.
