An amalgamation of all that has been
and all that will ever be:
Waves of joy, gently washing over my body,
heartache, pulling me under, like an ocean current
A harmony beckening for peace,
turbulent storms unleashing disaster
Laughter, an enduring friendship,
sadness, an unwelcomed thief in the night
Comfort, tenderly healing a wound,
pain, like the crack of a whip
The blessing of life entering the world,
a devouring ache, cast by the shadow of death
The sweet taste of desire,
and a wretched stench of apathy
Embraces, like the warmth of the sun,
aggression, a scorching burn
Courage, roaring within my soul,
fear, shivers surging down my spine
Enchanting dreams, written in the stars,
a sky brimming of failure, waiting to downpour
Love, a heavenly paradise, thankful to be explored,
hate, fallen into the gutter, begging for forgiveness
Fragment upon fragment,
all that shines its light and all that creates darkness
You are LIFE
*MY PERPETUAL MUSE
