The Ransome Note

What is blackmail catering to one's 
own soul capturing fear in a mason jar 
watching the panting the empty air 
dissolving the beautiful wings extorting 
the brilliant hue manifested overtime
 
clinging to the boundaries of lusting 
to simply breathe shattering hope
craving the harsh warning signs 
the taking of every saved memory
stored so cleverly an yet balance 

restores itself all else left dangling 
surrounded by torn heart strings 
pounding fret as per diem enters the 
solid structure of surety awaiting the call 
of sheer tangible wrath the wild eyes
 
the vacant stare pockets are being ripped 
at the seams leaving only soiled lent 
as a trading post to be equally shared 
in a group setting adjusting the mere 
solace for peace an eager tantrum arouses 

malice and mangled sanity opening 
the door to find your intruder coughing 
up threats that he himself was forced 
to swallow upon leaving ransomware notes 
unapologetically relieved yet morbidly removed
