the life cycle

the shortness of breath

is never that of breadth

only in youth it was

pain so untold

rule the realm

and never did the cloud pass

until way past

until another emerged


and in fear i faltered

a teenage in shadows

whispers of death and carnage

cuddled my blood and i,..

lost myself in the murky place

where victory was mine

i reaped nothing

for nothing a sowing begets nothing

hesitation took the day


way past where a man is formed

in the kiln of life i cracked

a deformed jar is soon crushed

wasn't so lucky

a loner in life

cried for graves UN-beckoning

defined by a solitary thought of hate

and where they go when in need

indeed it escaped the lonesome

power is for the wielding

the powerful rule the frail

this power being given

i vowed...

never erect a monument

for another but myself
