A Poet's Quest
Hiding beneath an indomitable fortress, the human skull
Seeds of thought hibernate
For destiny's fingers to select the chosen ones
For a metamorphosis, to sprout and leaven stems
Bearing on their herculean shoulders
The quintessence of raw beauty, the meat of creative genius
To dawn blades of lyrical acutance
To engender sheaths of shrouded mystery
Transforming the endeavor of the obsessive psyche
To the pinnacle of lyrics's transcendence
Outshining springs and fountains of ideality
Surpassing the humility and mortality of perfection
To the disconformities of metaphoric psychosis
To draw divine blood from bounties of creation
To sculpt destinies mastering the tide and ebb of the percussion nib
To exonerate life from wood pulp, to galvanize spirits from scripts
For the embodiment of beauty's psychedelic inimitability
