Flitting The Highest Maze


Conflicted this soul, born to flit and fly, streaming through yester-nights; a bit eager for peace, staring at starlight, confounded by mere gestures. While a youngster, this immortal life, he sang a song; where graves responded, these unsung motives, searching for a parent figure. We flicker a keel, to unhinge a boat, while singing, I love you. Oh for spirit gusts, filtered in visitations, sparred by dusky whispers; to knit upstream, discolored by algae, flitting through a mystic burst. He knew for motive, as a bit too wise, as to shadow his very faults; where mother was dying, a contracted disease, while a visitor took her life; this fatal cry, stranded on codeines, to overload a liver. He knew not the weather, this garb of shame, and felt to core a wretched halo; to change an instance, this love for dolor, whisking a wistful prose; while daylight broke, to pause a soul, as to greet a rising sun; but oh for buildings, as to eclipse wisdom, where we siphon our peace. We love to gambol, to bounce back excitedly, where years take hold on resilience; while sipping too much, this thirst for water, as to invent a lying countenance; so he knows for lies, flitting through sweltering heat, smelted and refined; to have that second, where eyes roll backwards, and nectar was never so sweat. It’s zeal for love, those gravid times, as filled with contemplation; to long for something, akin to love—the mornings filled with charades; but oh to be normal, to cry as a soldier, and received by a human. It couldn’t be real, in this self-conscious world, this melodic tinge; as filled with gravity, gripping a trumpet blast, pictured in a lovelock; but oh so gray, our earth of twines, and winsome for but a moment. He tried for perfect, to outsoar humans, climbing for want of success; to know for failures, and firebrand riots, stressed as afire this love.
