Impeccable

There was something,

Something in my eyes, that did not die.

Closed in avalanches; but did not cry.

I wrote prose,

In the heart of the beast.

Hoping it adheres to the wisdom of a priest.


I created landscapes,

On every scary night.

Without armour, I dared to fight.


Given manipulations,

I responded with empathy.

Compassion was always a fantasy.


Watching malice,

In their heart and mind.

I chose to be unconquerable,

While being vulnerable and kind.


Did you choose trickery?

I chose bravery.

Did you choose duplicity?

I chose dignity.


I am a stream you cannot fetch.

I am a flame you cannot touch.

The way the poem started, there was a slight deviation in the middle. But if seen according to the state of mind, then this is an advanced creation

From trickery to bravery and duplicity to dignity, the poem does have its moments but I think not all rises have a payoff like the prose, beast & priest. Its a wonderful start and hoping to read more soon!
