The Kiss Of Chaos

I stand unmoved; with feet heavy and inert,

Words ringing in my ear; not so euphonious though,

Tears welled up in my eyes; they resist from trickling down.

I desperately yearn to run away,

Shut myself; shut everyone else up,

Shout out loud

And cut the leash of all stares.

Fear hovers over me; my thoughts gagged by demons,

Demons of my own making.

The devil smiles from above; that brazen smile,

And kisses me. The kiss of chaos; dark and drowning.

My blood freezes, numbs all veins,

And,

In vain goes my efforts to thaw the frozen.

I peer at hope being swept away

Like being pulled into the pits of the dunes.

I disdain the thought of giving in

And collect all brawn.

Straighten my feet, stand sturdy,

Proclaim my credo inside my head.

Not this hour,

Not this day; nor in times to come,

Is fear gonna triumph and see me fail.

Let there be the mess of callousness,

For, fear of the fear is ephemeral.

I am, all but darkness,

I am, all but weakness,

I am, all but a fiasco.
