king of his castle
but queen of her domain,
the unions of dominion life
are rarely one and the same
often times one sided
and sometimes distanced or restrained
the passions of real love
remain balanced,
but still wild, as to be untamed

and the light of god
like a flash bang
down dark hallways
men blind
flying
like moths toward a lamp

sometimes,
theses lines
amount to little more
than a colorful way to say
why?

you've nowhere to run
the thing you so hungrily sought
those lofty ideals that lead to this outcome
will be stabbed at
reverse engineered and understood
till they are gone

how does your judgement supercede your predecessors
do you profess to understand the pulleys
the intricate inner-workings
the mechanist and puller of the levers
better?

do you understand the precedent this sets
do you care
if it fractures the nation
and opens the door
to absolving older legislation
so short-sighted
it is thunder
singing lightning
a storm brewing
to shadow progress
and bring on devastation

a tale of lust
seduction, and ******
get cable!
and the programming
can pain your brain
rot away all the gray matter
leave you numb,
but there's so much
these days that desensitize
so chuck those harpoons, abraham
it's a white whale you're hunting
anyway

near the foothills
we breast the wind
in the heights
we waver, swinging
us loose limbs
that gilded age
far past fleeting
going backwards
to bring back
what has been in retreating
and yet
it is only the mistakes of the past
we are repeating
Manx Pragna Jun 2022
words fail
where i wish to convey
what it is, in this heart,
the fire,
that shrieks to hide
but blazes into the night
straining to beat
with a summation of all its might
that is brought to life
only with that unbridled ecstasy
from simple pleasures
