The Flow

Frequently I find myself covered in soot

Looking down I ***** shackles tied to each foot

Above I see bolts of boring bold steel

Limiting the stretch of what my feelings can feel

Within the private gift we all have been deemed

I am vested in crisscrossed layers uncleaned

Hammering my head are your ticks and your tocks

Recalling my labors for horrid have nots

I must amuse the begotten bejeweled

Robotically remain a chaotic fool

Most of us have been trained to forget

But avail awaits harvest like a reserve in the mess

Special they are that save and revive

Recognize the saviors that make you alive

Ahh…

Safely deep is the desire, a vision of retreat

Infectious is the perfect picture which I have begun to see

Fussing forgone, and put down with glee

I've found the buzz that busies me

That awakens my long since lazy feet

And ends the feast that which my fears eat

The world has given my soul a rhyme

To which I flow and from which I rise

I confused my curse; I'll refuse no more

Its decidedly a gift that has settled my war
