Unbroken
28 April 2014
Time’s choicest moments taken
From a raft of the still selections
As I count the number of pieces
Collected throughout the book
Karma it seems has its own count
.
Some won over some forsaken
As scales whir into recognition
Of timeless facts a life releases
Spinning around oblivion’s hook
While Skuld registers all recounts
.
In memory I wander unabashed
At the taste of darkness and light
Akin to a sip of the invisible brew
Of two fours aligned in mind’s eye
Countless is weighed but in heart
.
Wrists one would have me slash
Buckling under pressure’s plight
Yielding to a mind turned askew
By tearful loss of a heavenly ally
Forlorn, standing singled, apart
.
Force and clash would bend one
Wilting mind if it may so choose
On fear many spake but few knew
In heart the quake in mind hue
Of a bold purple non submissive
.
Soaring spirit, bowing to none
Soul uncovering powers let loose
Smoldering ashes into fire grew
Burning darkness for glow to ensue
Fibers outreaching the missive
.
Light comes to the one who asks
Unfettered by a lifelong training
Of approximation and artefacts
Misguided attempts, a potent pill
A lullaby of much charm for some
.
Glory to spirit’s mind that basks
In yonder sun on blossom shining
As fear dull sullen its ink retracts
Leaving ablaze my window sill
Unbroken, unnamed here I come
.
