The frail wings of sanity

Blinded the sun

Flapped once and unleashed pandemonium

Rays of sheer clarity

Will-o’-the-wisp

Came out of nowhere

Then vanished without a trace

Dull senses

Violent sighs of relief

Inflamed with the vehemence of ignorance

Self-tamed, inveterate

Prisoner of others’ beliefs

Thoughts eviscerated

Freed from the burden of dreams

Change the laws of gravity

Burying your head in the sand

Under the aegis of hubris

The aegis of ice

Phobos

Sick eyes shining like fire

Thief of souls

Digging a trench in a doomed brain

Stranglehold

A matter of choice in disguise, a tailored truth

Lucidity shrouded in darkness

An inner voice screaming

While being stabbed to death

The tyranny of meaning

Counterintuitive trial

Logos

Drooling like a wolf in the fold

Iron rules

Termites gnawing from the inside

Demonizing sight, drive, the primitive impulse

Imbued with the spirit of failure

An inner voice screaming

While being stabbed to death

The tyranny of meaning

Counterintuitive trial

Filth streams fall from the roof

Huge stalagmites of boredom and fault

Everything drowns in the mud of days passing by

Deep and unreal

Safe in a soul deprived

Invade new lands to terrorize

Displaced suffering

Flawless logic redemption

The world seen with emboldened eyes

A fleeting victory

Until the tide turns again
