Sweet despair, my midnight mistress, oh how you ignite my passions.
Tribulations infinite spawn manufacts divine.
Complicated algorithms this machine in turmoil fashions,
Weaving, chipping, sieving for a-natural design.

Self-destructive operations tend, the mind, to overwhelm.
Hearty incantations of the spirit, yet, defend.
Pushed beyond his limits, one may wonder-wander to the helm.
Ship's upon doomed missions make their course until their end.

Artificers carve away, their craft: idyllic aestheticians.
Strings that pull on spirits may yet siphon their morale.
Lovers bound in honeymoon reveal themselves unseen magicians,
Summoning forth beauty when the sky itself grows stale.

Bittersweet nostalgia offers weary minds a rest from toil.
Soil seeps between the cracks of memories forgot.
Thunderous infernos, in their glory, burn a shade most royal,
Razor blades, defiant, iterate on what they're not.

And shall it seem a meaning to this story yet remains untold,
Let yourself be made aware; you've yet to see the tale unfold.

I am of milk.

I am of milk, and of meat.
I am of pork, of beef, of poultry.
I am of broth.
I am of cabbage, and carrot, and soil and water and air.

I am of earth. I am of stone.
I am of mountains. I am of oceans.
I am of plains, and rivers, and deserts.
I am of Earth. I am of stars.
I am of atoms and cells and organs and bodies and cities and nations and planets and stars.

I am of you, and you are of me.

We are of each other. We are of love, of hate.
We are of science and culture.
We are of history, of circumstance, of chance.
We are of mothers and fathers. We are of children.
We are of people.
We are.

Fates of a miracle, souls intertwined,
Fathoms of vigor by thee are designed.
Fluttering honeydew whispers so soft,
Finer than mist, her touch keeps me aloft.

Aberrant meetings, alone once again,
Warmth and affection are bolstered within.
Amplified passions, by fire, are tried.
Vivid intensity stands fortified.

Underinterrupted silence,
none to gather at the gates.
Sell your warey wagon's axle,

Oh the joyous altercation,
angled, dangling neatly down.
Hold your elder father's picture
underneath your writing gown.

Words defy the lonesome meeting
of the dogs in golden chains.
Herds arise of loathsome chieftains.
Battlecries as arrows rain.

Open book of monstrous brethren,
teach them how your pages turn.
Loving violence, kindred-hateful;
gutted, for a beat you yearn.

You
Made a promise that you knew
Couldn't possibly come true
Now the walls are painted blue
And it's all because of
Me
Made a deal I couldn't keep
It torments me as I sleep
Oh it haunts me and I weep
In the vain pursuit of
Us
Took a bet we couldn't trust
All that shines has turned to rust
As it fades away to dust
Left us grasping at the
