Nameless Skirmish

Battle with a foe that has not ears to listen and though the initial wound was bad, the foe continues self infliction and destructive tendencies though clearly the battle only leaves damage everywhere

Silently screaming in the night

Fly free and run far away please don’t stay dark

Somewhere off in the distance I see aberration

I am gasping

Darkly sure, duck tape lightning 

Grated ice, paw across 

Away from the damage

Spoken vow, the unlikely event

Bashful Lion take my hand

And here we are running far uphill

And you see the sunlight on our backs but dark stranger doesn’t

Malevolently pain caresses the night as it masquerades on

The black chases the white, maws of revenge painted as justice

The trees blowing passively and loud mocking calls

Hide away, into the ocean we go

Dive and deep down we go

Somewhere in there, there is hope

Know it to be true

If only I knew the words to give respite

Fighting the current and the riveting undulations

Fish multicolored and the hues of the light above

Fire throbbing within and out

Sunder my whole world

Break the surface and water washes over

Chocking and sputtering, rapidly 

The sky cracks and there is no escape

Which direction was North?

Compass spins in circles, we are swimming in circles

Once it was easy for her but now this is hard

To the wind we go, high above

Don’t you see dark stranger doesn’t want you to have it all

Only freaks a little when he’s high off ice and golden shine

Then sobriety and the dawning comes...with it the earth shakes

The world can only shatter so many times

With the leather screen, its no wonder echoes bounce back

Sympathy must cease, because a knife won’t stop 

That ego is worn like the filigree of patrons 

Aneurysm cohesion, dilate foreign

Gloves of the operation singed with sweat

Revel with the clash of tails

Like a crazed general, rally the troops

Send them to kamikaze on hells doorstep

50 rounds and the race is almost yet won

The field barren, bloody and salient

Upside down the battle fought

Double vision when the lines blur

Specialty devoted its focus

Detest the devil but trigger happy never works

Aim true, don’t miss the wolf and hit the fox

We settle in, eyes wide, mouths agape

Back to the dice, toss them and see

His flesh wound? Self infliction now with a blender

Doggy tactics, 3, 2, 1 till self destruction

Steel watched, as the critical wounds begin

Ferocity fades as the collapse enables

Solemnly, we watch the skies burn

Grasped hands and strain

Paint has faded on display

Thread vibrates anew
