She who is the agent of chaos Knows not why she does dance Shyly she poised on her tiptoes, bare When I saw her just by chance She, my Shiva dances atop the highest of the Himalayas Humming and hoping I watch alone from below And I wonder - how does the dust feel betwixt her toes? How does this earth resist from swallowing her whole? ***** a compass, she traces to encompass A circumference within which she does reside There, she spins, twirls, pirouettes a vortex And the dust obscures her from my salacious sight But I can still hear her Blinded by the grit and deafened by the gale I hopelessly follow the sounds of her anklet bells But to scale these peaks with my bare hands, I slip, I fail And fall forever into her infinite fractal spells A feather, I drift towards her fictional siren calls Travelling through echoes of silence and spectre She punctuates her poses in the shape of question marks Interrogating me, when she knows I cannot help but surrender Who are you I ask, my agent of chaos? Mute and vengeful she turns to strike like a cobra With one blow she breaks her own spell And refracts her remnants from fractal to mirror She who is the agent of chaos Danced a waltz upon my throat Speechless and breathless I was rendered lame But he knew it’s really all the same

Agent of Chaos
She who is the agent of chaos Knows not why she does dance Shyly she poised on her tiptoes, bare When I saw her just by chance She, my Shiva dances atop the highest of the Himalayas Humming and hoping I watch alone from below And I wonder - how does the dust feel betwixt her toes? How does this earth resist from swallowing her whole? ***** a compass, she traces to encompass A circumference within which she does reside There, she spins, twirls, pirouettes a vortex And the dust obscures her from my salacious sight But I can still hear her Blinded by the grit and deafened by the gale I hopelessly follow the sounds of her anklet bells But to scale these peaks with my bare hands, I slip, I fail And fall forever into her infinite fractal spells A feather, I drift towards her fictional siren calls Travelling through echoes of silence and spectre She punctuates her poses in the shape of question marks Interrogating me, when she knows I cannot help but surrender Who are you I ask, my agent of chaos? Mute and vengeful she turns to strike like a cobra With one blow she breaks her own spell And refracts her remnants from fractal to mirror She who is the agent of chaos Danced a waltz upon my throat Speechless and breathless I was rendered lame But he knew it’s really all the same
