Verse 32: WildfireA Chapter by Glen Yumang ManeseWildfire
There are times when I
look at you; I’d rather not. Forsake of letting down my
armor and fall from grace. Those temptations finding
their pollution would do no harm. Intermingle with
artificial interceptors trying to invade my mind. Confusion of all thought that
satisfaction is a one-night stand. Against the core values
built not of wood. Set an ensuing wildfire
blazing out of control. Even water cannot
extinguish the sins of silence. In reflecting is the truth
so visible and viable. Smooth surface of concrete
shows the lies in full view. Cracks run like veins in
the skin. Etch with the bad blood of
influence. Reckon no favorable
return. Slowly smolder levels of
foundation. Construction of brick laid
standing. Disease has killed all
doubt within. Taking is a value for the
price tag. Wrath wishes to finish
with vengeance. Smoke screen fills lungs
in guilt. Burns flesh of the
weak. In shedding, are no tears? Inflict lacerations for
the meek. All are actions of daunted
lust. Plea with conception all
is not lost. Patience was duly mistaken
for lack of judgment. Not even the purification
of blue can mend. Justification to know the
ashes are a constant reminder. In this battle does not
rest with flames ignited. Test soul to purge with
each blink of the eyelids. There is no measure in
pursuit to be together. No sirens are willing to
negate such fixation. Inconceivable are the
musical ballads. Focus blinded at times to
abstraction. Disposition is controlling
the length. Furthermore, width expands
tolerance. Bind is the rings of
protection. Within chain mail holds
this heart. Depart not to the claim of
indigenous. Kneel down knighted with chivalry. Only dedicate to life’s
end with you. © 2016 Glen Yumang Manese |
