Elusive

Prologue
=======

Careful step a steep decline
Jagged edges provide no rhyme
Destruction hasn’t a form Divine
Mirrored mockery intertwined
Within each passages bickering lines

Passage 1
========

This solitude marches slowly
Marks it path among the lowly
The distance grows
A home not found
Lost it remains in the precipitous climb
Over conscience’s hills within

Withered flowers burn ablaze
Testify the end with their remains
The pain grows
No comfort found
In the jungle lies the guiding gate
Under heart’s molten hidden core

Passage 2
========

The voices call from within
Defeat! craves the chant
Dispute refrains from claiming hope
Injures, maims, the dejected dope

Nothing remains but a shallow core
Wobbling on the burning, hollowed floor
Sickness spreads; light folds
Essence rhymes gibberish crimes

Passage 3
========

Ocean waves suspended
Confusion spins winds unseen
Forgotten: the youthful dreams

Thoughts betray
The beauty of the silent frozen sky
Instilled: words, like a candle’s last breath

Passage 4
========

Fickle knowledge barters time
Freedom lives like a silent passionate mime

Night and day put on their tragic play
Starring light’s odyssey into darkness

Passage 5
========

Worship's end

Denial's friend

Epilogue
========

Abstract thoughts provide nothing
Insight lacks the elusive meaning
