We're all fragile and innocent

The fiery crash.
My Hieroglyphic allegory.
I reached up and grabbed the moon
covered in craters and symbols
I threw it down
and it smashed.

Floating embers wavering in the air
My powers of perception
are better than your powers of ignorance.
Do you think your liquefying glare
Is enough to strip all innocence?

There is no menace in my resistance.
Only wonder in a faraway stare.
I’m probably just musing on happenstance.
That brought me here now where
There is only hope, travels and chance.

I played with the wiring of life, until I coaxed a flash
a fiery spark jumping up at me,
wresting defiance, understanding and complicity.
We’re all fragile & innocent.
And it smashes too soon.

An intriguing read.

Yes it is fairly abstract, im still not too certain what i mean.
I wrote it in a cathartic outpouring in an intoxicated state.

Hope, travel and chance is what i base my life around these days.
And i guess writing this is trying to come to terms with experiencing all the above alone.

Sometimes a bit of mystery is beneficial

There are some really good lines in this piece... I too enjoyed the ones colicolo quoted!

I enjoyed this especially with your starting words of hieroglyphic allegory. I think this stanza tied the whole feeling together with me. It does seem a bit etherial without a strict subject but it allowed my mind to wander to places i enjoy going. thanks.

I saw it as trying to gain control of you reality, when in the end it's just as elusive as when you started.

Very interesting to read.
