Shards of Brilliance


His dreams are dreams of distress 
The agony that alights from anguish
The grief that accompanies his every waking hour
Stillness of the ache to be cherished  

The sorrow that descends his soul
Glorious peace that has seeped through cracks of melancholy 
Where will one find a state of greater numbness? 
Tranquility levitates lolling in the muck of despondency 

The trepidation that bedfellows evade 
Seduces him into its silent waters 
Icy fingers caresses his already frozen spirit
Suffocating him as he sinks under 

Striking are the icicles of unfeeling pain
Sadistic is the song of this simpering sadness
How then is he so obsessed?
Obsessed with this strange kind of madness

The ecstasy that he awaits in anticipation  
The hope of anonymous allure 
The knowing of what is to come 
Throws him into throes of something delightfully obscure 

His best creation awaits revealing 
Unearth it he shall 
Now he’s experienced the soreness of misery 
Effervescence of genius creeps a cunning crawl 

The world beholds with bated breath 
Greatness conceived in excruciating alliance 
Beauty that glints through the broken shards
Beautiful are the shards. The Shards of brilliance.
