The Subterranean

" just because we want doesn't mean we deserve"
  
   
my dungeon...my temple  
welcome to the basement of my soul  
where the building blocks of my being are reinforced  
..my resolve solidified  
where the dingy dank and brooding atmosphere  
conjures up the hunter-seeker in me  
here to embark on yet another journey  
in my quest for fire  
   
   
to reach my higher self..in this place  
i must be convicted  
committed to go lower and dig deep  
revel in the reservoir of pain  
   
   
yes..pain  
the rogue scion of my goddess  
Sweet Inspiration    
that dwells at the dark end of the spectrum  
the crucible of life  
the catalyst of the paradigms  
the nexus point of change  
the stage where drama of the mind  
meets trauma of the bod..  
   
   
the gods are watching for sure  
the iron maiden is waiting  
taunting me...challenging me  
calling me out to the center of the Coliseum  
   
   
"WHERE IS THY WARRIOR?"  
   
   
i enter  
naked in sheer will  
   
Gift          
Of          
Divinity  
   
   
the GOD particle  
dusted from the stars  
reigning down unfiltered  
through customized commandments  
   
   
intent  
devotion  
respect  
submission  
   
   
channeled through sweat and acid  
through blood and oxygen  
i put all my conversion theories to the test  
through sublime struggle of the soul  
with rusty unforgiving steel sharpening my steel  
augmenting fortitude needed to tear and rebuild sinew  
renew through mass destruction  
with tales from the mud  
   
   
this is MAN    
under construction  
building from foundation up  
my unyielding mountain climber in high gear  
abandoning fear..looking only upward  
through the lense of  
self visualization  
as eye imagine myself arisen from the abyss  
at the zenith of the day's promise  
galvanized from the core  
fully connected..fully activated  
as the fire sought    
burns vibrantly throughout my aura
