I watched. I listened. I took your hand when survival reacted.
Not anything as simple as the frail bodies we contort.
Your cry was in the wind, it was a thing from your being.

I tried. Too hard. I thought. Too much. My truth was Euclid, verity's soul it seems fracted.

Enough though it seemed. A while, we dreamed.
Enough.
Now i wake to sleep. My pen gainst my page shan't paint love this deep.
Keep on moving
The road never ends.
There's no losing.

You're always ahead, but
Always behind
The point of the curve
That there's no point proving.
              
             So logic has limits
             Yet I've passed mine.
               Breath. Get back up.
             Just this once, last, more time..

If i had it I'd
Spend it.
Every second on nothing.
This is probably doomed to be another forgotten page
A sodden show, on a rotten stage.

One time this hall drew falls of laughter,

Then time as silence drools out from rafters.

Alas for past , for not, for fame I'm after.

Just frames. Just one the same. One scorched. Not fractured.

Bones break and skin gets brittle,
For honest hands its honest work what scares their riddles.

For when the price is life, and life's been lent
What's left for statement, of payment well spent.

They should know. Those bast'**s too stupid to be happy.
With the strength of two hearts pull the nets from their trapeze.

Or tightrope.. knife's blade or cliff edge?

We must all dance by this precipice, that cold breath a hiss by ear.
Our breath of fire's to contra, not compound fear.
So much power yet so much weakness
So much words but so little meaning
So much wealth yet so much meekness
Teeth Grit,
Knuckles Clench,
Resolve Resolves,
Foul Stench.

Forever Contending.
Never Forgetting.

Dialectical Gales,
Incendiary Hales,
Phosphorus Shale,
Reason fails.

Tears Break.
Feet Slip.
Hands Grasp,
Focus Grips.

Wings Spreading.
Never Forgetting.

Mouth Spits,
Muscles Clench,
Resolve Resolves,
Foul Stench.

Lungs Inhale
Bellows Exhale
Reason Rails
It Tastes the Grail

Phoenix Burning.
Youth Returning.

Strength Unfound,
Pressure Grounds.
Limbs Crawl
Verbal Drawls

Quiet Learning.
Olympus Burning.

Knowledge Found.
Knowledge Lost.
Bi-Pedal Payment.
Sedentary Cost.

Fires Fed,
Pyers Doused,
Free Mis-Led,
Courage Roused.

Walkers Talking.
Brothers Running.

Teeth Grit,
Knuckles Clench,
Wind Abates,
Bereft of Stench.
