Mastery Poems - Poems about Mastery

Once is never quite enough, Once again feels more like trust. Once more, close to sure— Eat, has eaten, ate, will eat— Breath itself repeats, A ritual done compulsively, Yet never fully satisfied. Like tasting twice, the second time charms, Knowledge grows through shifting views, Education’s...

As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heavy with the miasma of malignant expectations, a noxious necromancy that I shall shortly vivify with my sepulchral semantics. I unleash, my voice a bestial bellow, a...

The anxious sense of self Forged in a flawed reality The blind internal drives Percolating in the cortex just beneath Ubiquitous is the struggle Antiquities impressions preside Reptilian hardwired features Dominance – an extreme will to survive Anxiety, fear, and anger Emotions hard to please Audacious insatiable appetites Malignant cancerous disease The struggle - the fight A metaphorical demonic hold We fall - dropping to our knees Surrendering to our...
