--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I circle the beast
eyes darting over and across its form-
weary for any subtleties

Hands tremble
like moths riding thermals
eager to explore
unsure how much was here
before me

Light plays over and through
this monster’s patchwork hide
of language and icons

I pace the parameter
memorizing inlets and intersections
curves and spines-
the atrocious elegance purrs allure

My touch
and so the beast responds
this calculated frenzy
each risk understood and excepted

How far back does this run?
The armor cinders away
before such presence
my breath carries much weight here

I lose myself in the absolute passion of it all-
a tangle of intentions
until I collapse dazed and panting
realization hints
and I follow

We trade places
the monster and I
I lead and it follows-
the edges fluid as identity

The pace quickens
pounds to heart time
and pulsating rhythms

We realize
the chase is just us now-
no pursuer
no prey

We run this game
until our hoof beats sync
and our breathing unites

I am this monster
created.

Snipe ol' boy, don't tell me you had a Brilliant Plan (note the caps) of your own when you created that one? Did you have to wait and make sure the beast really liked you first? ::coughs and tries to avoid commenting upon aforementioned posts::

Quite beautiful imagery- as always. Parts of it made me think of a strutter being created... but.. different. A'ight, I'm done being vague, but still most excellent to see you sharing poems and such with us. Now about the art... :grin:

*stares yet again at the poem, completely and utterly confused. The mind can make no sense of it. Az grins, and realizes that is the point*

Very nice=)
