Spears

Spears

Spears are speaking tonight
Striking flesh and releasing
Inky octopus stains

Smudged hollow eyes....
No victory
Tonight is battlefield undecided
Outlet for outcomes
Undeclared
Stack of cards reshuffled
Too many jokers in the pack
And one daredevil
Wild Card.

Stasis ignited
Pyrokinetic spearhead flashing
Steel in silvery silence

I'm a bad chess player
No premeditated moves
I cannot see the lay of the land
Beforehand
And I reveal my hand palms up  trustingly.

I am not child's play...
In a meaningles world ...
I act out my pain.
Motivated method in madness....

My strength isn't spatial abstraction chartered routes
But quantum leaps
I intuit therefore
My creed is dynamic belief
Not frozen faith...

In credo deum unum
But also et pluribus unum
My motto multiplicity...
The United States of  Singularity.

You cannot take away a random part of me...and choose and chop me to bite sized pieces...

Take my all or not at all
I am whole in each shred I dwell
Each part carries the entire me...like it or not

splinter the temple  of the soul
With word bullets
Like splintered shards of  windshields

My black eyed peas of misery will reflect back dumbly
Turn left or right
Try your might
For more favorable view
But still
I am not about you
Its me....
who you have to learn to see.

Take care. ...Those shades are cool
but they carry
Reflections of a fool who gazes at you adoringly.
The you that I have in my heart
Which you can never see.

And therein
Insulated islands of our hearts are packed with irony.

I can never see you.
And you, me.

Then let's
Keep aside our spears in the sheath
For there's tears at its tips
Gleams of my hysteria
Shadows of despair
Molten lava of unspoken desires
And unspent our love,  banished
To annals of History.
