Raven

“Poetry arises out of a like of the world so intense and wide that of itself, it is musical.”Edmund Spenser 


I am the dragon of myself-
a clichéd poet playing a tug of war
with reality on one side &his own created world on the other.
An imperfectionist living creature-
rebuilding his desires ablaze
on a sheet of paper that fathoms above
bitter truth, complex & rage. 

I am a cannibal defeated-
on its quest for feast of carnivorous love
that conquered the world in their poisonous embraces and nudge.
A molecule that loses its identity-
in Dalton’s atomic theory of appreciation
that differentiates personality and diversity
in a lost world of fusion. 

Maybe I am lying, maybe I am a poet.
