Quest

Quest

For years long I espoused the bedlam in my beneath 
I quest the solitary 
The more close I endured; the arouse of ignition was more
This is an unacquainted fervour
I never encountered; neither I will surrender 
I owe it to my breathe, my flesh and my wisdom 
And I had no grip to iniquities and itches 
Like how sand slips from hand

The bedlam denned in myself 
If the warmth of love quest the path
Render my longevous throes and miseries 
If the incessant gaze of lover quest the pearl 
Pierce my heart and reign 
If the bravery of combatant quest the combat
History chisel my fearlessness cruor

Is it the hurricane or the tremor; it is uncharted to me
And the tempest in my core,
It does keep bellowing 
I don't the know the word 
I am not adept in scripting it either 
I must apologize for disturbing and disbalancing my vehemence 
And awakening the equilibrium 
Endowing justice to my robust turmoil 
Whether it is a bedlam or a quest...
