Battle Of Words ((collaboration))
by~ ALEXA BRUS
A thousand random thoughts race through my head
at a loss to find the clarity to write what they actually said
clashing as sworn enemies in the dead of night
drawing their swords, the battle begins to find some insight
blackened ink of unlegible words runs down the pages
as the lion and the lamb pace back and forth within their cages
thoughts march forward, thinking they've got it figured out
each one slashed away by the ambiguous army of doubt
by~ Poet Destroyer
Drifting until the veil impales words into my mind
Erupting in brilliance spectrum's that expand very unkind
A jagged stars, fell to emerge in pictures of peace and tranquility
Like a serenade of marching dimes, alluring army twisted personality
And this the mischief in which words run and burn "we are born!"
~Never into the perfect Eden, once the enemy blew its horn
The withered hands of time cradled by evergreen harmony
That shun majestic Aurora battles, rising in jaded disharmony
