![]() Make a Break for the Infinity BarrierA Poem by Brenden Bow
Do me a favor, break down the walls.
Do me a favor, then shatter the glass. Collapse by one punch from knuckles made of brass. Ah, of course, violence, how crass. Make a break for infinity, don't stop at the border of eternity. The whole universe is laid out in front of me. The center of everything in the palm of my hand, it is to be, or not to be . . . Mine, yes all mine, break the edge of eternity. The universe is a hyperbole for its eternity, unending like an immortal, personifying the simile. I am but a boy, simply a boy, a boy whose eyes house a dragon's cursed tattoo. Monsters lay in wait inside of them and inside of you. Inside of me? Take a guess, I'll give you a hint, it's not the same as what's inside you. Kill me softly. Bind my soul. Truss my body. Winning isn't easy, and losing is never done fairly. Death is a synecdoche, mainly for all those possessing my body. You can fear what you can't see. But, my darling, I must wholeheartedly insist you fear me. I put the lie in evil, the evil in devil. I revel in mischief with this draconian devil. How about a show of hands, who wants to be the prosecutor of this devil? I didn't think any of you would raise themselves to such a supercilious level. So, break down the walls of infinity. Scream and shout extremist heresies. We leave for Arcadia, for Avalon, for Atlantis, but we tread carefully. Watch out for what you can see. Don't fear the monsters, my love. Once again, fear me. I am the essence of tears, the derivative of horror, born from your very core or.... Gaze into my fury and descend into terror. I don't want you to collapse, but my dear, they always fall. But, sir, it's always sooner rather than later. My eyes will see you later, alligator. I'll never leave you be. You're the nymph and I'm the persistent satyr. Nyx, fade her. Fade her to darker than black. Fade her. © 2012 Brenden BowReviews
