reciprocated needs

primal telepathies
disguised as love
seeping
through my subconscious
they cross vast lands
and bear long miles
to wind at distant doorsteps
they nudge at first
then poke and jab
they stab
a pain so dire
there's certainty
that they were sent
were meant
to scar, conspire

primal guards
retaliate
ten-hut!
abash abash!
internal battles
vehement waves
threaten to crush, to thrash
blurred vision
rusty swords
droopy eyelids
eyes half closed
such long hard battles
need not be
they must be fought
sporadically
for shields that sigh
will wear and tear
they may be pried by thee

in tents we camp
remote, unmoved
an army like no other
there's rationale
there's callousness
destroy my timid other!
dismantle semi valid dreams
break down unstable hopes
undo those sacred vows we shared
reintroduce new scopes

naive
those telepathic vibes you send
naive and plain indeed
great gods have not yet conquered me
yet you predict i'll heed
two slits that shield
cold eyes that judge
that gauge, that guess, that rate
befall a tender dove like you
your half-deserved fate
for harmless lambs
bleed willingly
they offer flesh and bone
and craving farmers
anxiously
slaughter, sustain their drone

yet bloody tides
bring in despair
bring sorrow
gloomy air
that lingers on
besieging
every cheer and every care
prophetic tides
reveal my kill
my crime
they warn, foretell
a heart that lives
halfheartedly
a nomad that won't dwell

for heaven ruled
you shall command
the heart, the soul, the mind
and soldiers will
retreat in vain
to save a sight that's blind
resuscitate, rejuvenate
there's sundry to donate
if not to you
then unto others
as alms
to ease the weight

and in due time
when needs are met
unmet
by caring others
i will sustain
true satisfaction
through words
that you have uttered
for there is only but one god
on that we do agree
and he has spoken
he has decreed
these souls as one indeed
