...Crescendo

By SolApathy

 Into the chaos of a poem that doesn't quite rhyme
Well beyond the syllables of what little time we have
A desire to make the pieces always fit
Broken as they are 
Will we ever admit defeat?
Even as the sun can never peak past 
This darkness my shadow has cast-- long
Marooned in quagmires of sandstone melodies
Foreshadowed in our essence 
I am failure’s crescendo
Waves of epileptic beauty 
Surge upon a shore
Stealing the sands of my memories
Finality of my abscessed being exposed
I become the very darkness I abhor
Life has settled in καιρÏŒς symmetry
I know it is time for me to no longer be







...10 minute write to thank Skye for  the comment on my last poem...
