Life.

We agreed on a few things

Several years ago.

We compromised on many things

And let our egos go.

We built a fortress strengthened by time.

Hail to relationship glory; you are mine.

Thunderclouds above us, I fear the outcome.

Rain pouring down

Lightning striking ground

The black clouds show no mercy

The wind blowing high.

This night is to stay for several days.

With the touch of moon dust

My venom finds solace.

And as the eyes fuse into one color

The color of blood

On a dead man’s face;

I change into the winged beast

Once more, in the fortress we built.

The chains cannot hold me down

This time, again, after several years

I break free to hurt anyone I see.

There will be pain.

As bloodshed to stain.

I will not come down so easily

The sword in my hand

No longer protects thee.

The one on one fight

With heavy winds

Whistling in our ears.

I scream without mercy

To blend with the wind’s voice.

Your eyes show fury at the change

Your eyes show fear at the change.

You cannot hurt me as much

As I hurt myself as I hurt you.

Then the sudden realization

We compromised on many things

And let our egos go.

I let down my guard and fall at my feet.

You rushed at me and held me dying

With the wind dying down,

I was losing conscious of all around

You then breathed life into me

Hail to relationship glory, I am yours.

The eyes diffuse and turn normal.

The storm has cleared.

The beast inside of me,

Sleeps so peacefully

As the calm lets the first ray

Of sunshine break upon you

As you breathe life into me.

You gently stroke my hair,

We agreed on a few things

Several years ago.

    Beyond the give and take of love and relationships, this also reminds me of struggles with addiction, fidelity, and anger management. Whatever the actual inspiration, thank you for the powerful imagery that allows for such interpretation.
