Verse 30: Birds of PreyA Chapter by Glen Yumang ManeseBirds of Prey
We are cosmopolitan as
peregrine falcons. Separation does not divide
to wandering creatures. Together to rise and fall
in the end is this flight. Consume authority in our
outcomes a pair can retain. Briefly, conscience mind
fall to trickery of mocking birds. Swift, aerial assaults and
circular dance beckon reason. Solemn virtue tested to peers
in earth and sky. Value from righteous birth
spent into maturity. Deny nothing a common
interest of worth. Take a pledge in
allegiance to a destiny’s end.
Departure needed; missing
you gets in the way. Complicated at times are
these moments. Lying would be ideal
answer. Compelling conversation
lack measure, anymore. Calls echoes a deafen eardrum. Silence gives wake up far
much more. Believing gossip voices
are true verdicts. Undying sins are absolute offend
her nature. Then again, this apology
is out of nothing. A cheater is among men to
prove otherwise.
An accusation lies to
present evidence. Criminal intent is hearsay
of blind faith. Only is she in a mirror’s
reflection looks to satisfy. If by early light does an
image not fade to blur. In plucking away are my
eyes to see nonetheless. Fly out to the others just
to clip underneath this wing. Insults are laughing
against the drafting wind. Those warranting is
failure to be one. Pleasures not even a
crystal ball can attain no longer. Looking through your eyes,
can you only imagine?
In living is our solitary lifespan
as birds of prey. Accept a measure of
beating hearts. Contain actions not
fallible to words. Intervenes to lower pride
yields confession. Tears of blood are not temporary
replacements. Diluted drops of saline
can never hold spilled love. They exist, because life
is for the taking. Presume her thoughts without
doubt. Rip out the very nuclei with your talons. Plea surrender as last emission to fly is free and together. © 2016 Glen Yumang Manese |
