Iconoclast II

By dwells

Once I had my pride
Between lapses of loneliness
Before you blinded me

Like a shaggy Sampson
Each arm encircling an alabaster pillar
At the portico of your pagan temple
Giving you what you need
As the shaking begins

“My God!” – your gasping affirmation
Holding you amongst broken pedestals
In your pantheon of imposters
There are no victims now
Only the dust and us
As the seed implants

    This is very sad to me. It whispers needs unmet. In my mind it sounds like years of wishing for a release that never came, all a man's dreams turned to dust foremost for a woman's pleasing. Guess that's cause my parents were like that and honestly when they divorced it made me happy. Maybe there's only one life. Makes me think of the movie American Beauty. How he broke out and got free. This meant a lot to me.

    I am truly a fan. This has such emotion and the visuals are amazing. I'm envious of the way you convey such a punch with not many words. Write on.
