COCKTAILS MOCKTAILS AND LIFE September 6, 2016 The Kiss Of Chaos I stand unmoved; with feet heavy and inert, Words ringing in my ear; not so euphonious though, Tears welled up in my eyes; they resist from trickling down. I desperately yearn to run away, Shut myself; shut everyone else up, Shout out loud And cut the leash of all stares. Fear hovers over me; my thoughts gagged by demons, Demons of my own making. The devil smiles from above; that brazen smile, And kisses me. The kiss of chaos; dark and drowning. My blood freezes, numbs all veins, And, In vain goes my efforts to thaw the frozen. I peer at hope being swept away Like being pulled into the pits of the dunes. I disdain the thought of giving in And collect all brawn. Straighten my feet, stand sturdy, Proclaim my credo inside my head. Not this hour, Not this day; nor in times to come, Is fear gonna triumph and see me fail. Let there be the mess of callousness, For, fear of the fear is ephemeral. I am, all but darkness, I am, all but weakness, I am, all but a fiasco.
