Rebel



Rebel, the essence of the madness

A brother to chaos was born

Enormous will of its relentless nature

Was predisposed to be wronged

His heart of trembling leaf

Held by the hands of vultures

Its eyes’ peculiar light enticed by thieves

And their disintegrating virtues

Intensity of thoughts

Floods any sign of friction

Through sudden rise and painful fall

Of ever-morphing contradiction

Within his nature’s fragile wall

Enveloped by the genes of predecessors

There layers of his stubborn soul

Unpeeled, unscarred, unbent by pressure

Rebel, the essence of the madness

Disrupting righteous thoughts of rigid minds

He brings chaos with his relentless nature 

And challenges their truths to be defined

English is not my first language nevertheless this is my language now and I always felt compelled to write not for the sake of calling it poetry or prose but for no particular reason :-) more…
