Chimerical

Nothing is ever as it seems

A moment caught,
lucid and unguarded,
suspended in the intricacies of the framework
weaving lives together.

A subordinate to my emotions,
I allow myself to be swept off and
taken across the limits of my mind
where passion and exuberance embrace themselves

around the hearts of youth.
Inside, completion and
Intent is transparent in the vibrance
Of a stolen glance

which behind the graces,
secret smiles are etched on and
lips are drunk from the nonchalant fatuousness
and pure ecstasy that dance across them.

But a veiled cloak of ambiguity appears
and purpose and stability descend into chaos
whilst confusion unites with fear,
breaking bonds of reason.

Truculent images and conscious thoughts
Snap at my being and
Ground me
To the half life I fight against amidst

distorted minds engaging in vicious conflict.
Walls crash around
Arcane mutterings of those
Who have nothing left to lose.

Refuge within my comforts,
It is now
Razorblade kisses
which dance across my lips.
I dance with them.
