Blinded thoughts,
seen but misunderstood
Rushed by sight,
crushed into the mind
Flushed in emotions
but brushed by doggedness
Chained with passion
depicted
Depicted thoughts
unseen, foreseen pictures fought
Wrought in the
struggles, green with drought
Caught by
imperfections unforeseen
The flame for
success, a passion’ aim claim’d for direction at home
But the botch’ scare
abroad, the recess from failure beacons
Home memory drain’
into oblivion
Abroad the
clairvoyance rain into obtrusion
Water deep in the
ocean, horn beep from the steering
Dreams steered into
the sky, flying colours climaxing
Success peaked, a
swift flip
The Cry fall down
like a quake beneath the earth
Earth, clothed as
warm as a shirt over the body
The body warmth
unprotected by the earth without ozone
The sun melted by the
coldness of the fire
Burns, frozen with no
ice
Early into the night,
late into the morning
Time, a reflection
fight against failure
But bright the
success plights all day
Dreams, the cream to
passion
A rub on the mind for
its freshness
Like the anxiety for
a prey by a cub
A predator’s reality
made a pub
