discordant notes in an opera
designed for contrast in harmony
why do you defy it all my love?
you become the only thing I want
for you defy, by virtue of creation
as if to call out the difference
the rest of us cannot notice
that you were a step out of time
you, designed for another song
truly pure - but out of phase
most fail to even marvel at you
for you were not raised above us all
but fifteen steps aside, apart.
you steal everything I want to say
the fullness of breath to expel
all the ways to pull myself outwards
to be known in the eyes of another
with nakedness of the soul, fearful
for none, save you can inspire me so
I wish not to absolved of individuality
so frightful that you give it freely
those who foolishly try to comprehend
are absorbed, stolen to become another
forgetting the soul’s need for ‘self’
rather than another who has become.
that cruel temptation is solely you
another facet of human divined love
a fullness of self, soul’s heart
ou call me from walking forward
to attempt a dalliance at the side
and mayhap this short timed want
would change my direction where I travel;
propelling me into the deeper unknown
indulging in an identity I don’t comprehend
this love can is so fearful to see
more terrifying to have than behold
present poison, future purge held in hand
this chance - marvel or have it fade away
for it may lost to the ether of eternity
this, the cost of not choosing, fey
into chaos I throw myself, without rue
releasing self, all things I must reave
to become anew, fate I must thwart
