#renunciation
None, possessed A river in truths times Spare to sore heads... A luck with a name for their crimes... Sovereignty, finished Please me, with a talk Of the station, of a noble religion When wishes seek the hand of angels, world's balk... Sharing the levity, wished Becoming a decision's shadow... Has the voice of a pale insight, to mention Glare at me all you want, a word to owe... Craving essence, arrange Our lives into a silent poise Set in a secret's language, a ruley fade Of stomached purpose, with a shoulder of choice... Calling simple, more Is like a shred of human decency With a world to adjust to many, liberty to form We have our reward, a terror in a shy family...

Sly Enough To Live Well
Revving up the engine of the gleaming funky machine before zooming around, gave her such an Adrenalin high, nonperil. The constant ****** no guy ever could promise, this act gives her. She is pleased for that moment, gets ready for the ****** rigmarole, the very next second. She gets jealous of her own story, ever heard of that? On the race course and the spread bed alike her ebullience creates tsunami waves,broke long standing records. When you run fast enough there comes a moment,when there is no record left to break! and the beds, you guessed right, all are broken, made redundant. And then the inevitable happens, she smells leaking gas, panics, freezes on the track, shuddering, switches off quickly the engine of her dream machine,her heartbeat, makes the final escape,spontaneously, without delay, decides to renounce worldly pleasures altogether, up to the Himalayas goes by foot, seeking that thing which in life she missed all along, Finds silver light's play on ice caps, and realize this: she was walking through a dark, dark  tunnel , of self-deception,"Affluenza" was indeed her affliction. The Himalayan snow cap, loomed large as an attraction, in her dreams once, now seemed less formidable, at arm's length, "What a Guru,who looked timelessly ancient, jokingly predicted  once, comes true here"she muses. Her trek upwards resumes with a vengeance.

Himalayan snow white
Power and military acumen to the mighty king were  the true weapons of conquest in his possession, til the time marauding made him squirm with pleasure went on his trail of terror, destruction and subjugation. Many wars won;no bloodbath to this iron willed one ever seemed different from any other, victory was routine then came a rare moment of pause, a sudden bend in the path of a roaring river,initiating change. "It's time to put down this blood splattered crown envy of others, but  weighing me heavily down" Frenzied, in no time he removed the thorny crown and every bit that embellished him from head to toe in naked glory he stood before the mirror, but why couldn't he look for a long moment in his own eyes? "All I see is an architecture of muscles, nerves and blood on a skeletal frame, no different it is from any other just lingering  further, all one can see is  dead matter waiting to dissipate in to elements, when the time rings bell" (words of his Guru, long long forgotten, came alive) "The bird is  bound to this cage,with elements for a time in a flash, it would pass,where then is the bird's true abode?" All the wars won, achieved only the creation of cycles of pain countries taken over by brute force,women taken as trophy, loads of gold, diamonds and riches; just footnotes of an epitaph "To search and find what really matters, that transcends time" was the famous last words, before the conqueror's renunciation.

Why did the conqueror embrace renaunciation
Stack up. Second man, remember to cover right and keep your elbow out so third doesn't catch the door swinging back on hinges. Here comes the rock 1 2 3 and the rush. I've come here to do business tonight, business with that personal devil on his aching throne. Memories to sift through experiences to re-live and renounce. One can't simply shoot at a conception that needs to die. And here I come again, pushing through wreckage and half formed nightmares wailing at the sky. "I have come, in spite of myself, to practice the acts of forgiveness upon you who have stolen so much." You who have subverted my love and my hope and my faith. You who burned into me your belief that everything and everyone has a price. You that made me into less than a man, who corrupted my heart and taught me to laugh at Love as folly. For these sins I forgive you my Father not for your sake but for my own. All that I have done and not done as a result of believing you is over. Ex Nihilo Here is my sword, ill used. Here is my horse, lame and ****** Here is my lance, splintered. Here is my armour, rusted and heavy. Take back these things given unto me I have no need of them on this new journey. I go now, with or without she whom I love, to create beautiful things, to bring light and peace, to be a true human being, to live my own life rather than trying to atone for yours.

Breach and Clear
From ever the time we can count, this is the lot of the artist, of the subtle and unseen, the lover who sees with the heart: withdrawal from the workings of this insensitive world, where violence rules, and vengeance is justified. A wheel set in motion of long that has no end in sight, of which, no solution but to renounce. The only way, one who feels may hope to do anything is by self-transformation. In the hour of solitude by a brook or the tide when the wind turns a page in the wild, the eternal can whisper to the soul: and in this, the deliverance for one who sees with the heart.
