Ruthlessness is a trait
that sees point A to B with clarity
and the conviction and strength to
make it just so.
years
of patience, pain and care
of
toil, compromises and sitting by the sidelines
It is the cold hard perseverance
of loyalty
of unwavering faith, complete trust
and all that fairy dust,
blindly following, deafly singing
to a tune set to the same track,
Like a parched
beggar roaming the dessert
Who has seen an oases from far, deftly making
way
past
course sand and harsh dry winds grating the skin, searching-
I would have travelled to the ends
of the earth,
past the solace of conformity and
being
scatter all the cards that I hold
For
the tender touch of your lips,
The
lingering feeling of your fingers between mine,
The
steady beat of your heart-
and I would have put everything on
the line,
bleed like a cattle on a table
pour myself, trusting you with the
incision
Thud, thud, thudding
against the ribcage,
the lullaby of the heart
to calm the twisted soul
the balm to the scars
marred by darkness untold
and I would have burned the world for you,
Strike a match, light it up, watch
it as it burn burn burn,
down to ashes to the ground,
holding on to all the burnt corpses on the ground.
