Rima:
Knowing no other way to do this.
When you call, I won’t reach for the gun.
Pressing, presto;
We are one.
Pulling, presto;
We are none.
Romulus:
The division of vision.
You sought the government of all
And found the impulse of puppetry.
No will of your own.
But all alone, your very own.
Open up, down the middle.
Icarious:
As it suggests,
You are nothing less than naught.
And nautical in journey this is,
Yet eternal the search.
Bask in the salt
And drown in the fault.
Schism:
All you are to us is here,
On a plate, on a platter:
Pick your flavor.
Sometimes, I prefer the tang;
Some like it harsh.
Bitter is better.
Love. You know it well.
Comes in a bottle, comes with a price.
Sometimes your senses, sometimes your dime,
But mostly your time.
Pain. We know it well.
Conforms to no form,
But utilises every that I know.
Humanoid, mostly.
To be poetic, love is pain.
To be precise, pain comes from people.
You are a people.
I am but a person.
It is difficult to know a people,
But facile to know a person.
I've known persons,
Dark, bright, grey.
All alive, all breathing.

But with all.

one and the same, the two.
the first which you call "the sun"
and i call my one and only,
my dearest love and fondest friend.
vitality in a word,
freedom in another.
warmth and initiative,
life anew!
inciting bravery, invoking discord!
regality's crest she bears with pride.
all of sound is hers to command,
and upon her loud, abrasive call
we heed and make way for the door!
ay, she shall love me evermore.
but what of the whore?
o, devil's child.
they call you "the moon."
but, i call you my all.
my fault and my truth,
my sway and my feel,
my taste and texture.
you are as i have always want
some people talk in riddles,
and some don't really know how to say anything at all
i'm not one of those people
so why is it that you stop me every time
i used to think that we were what has always been
an extension of universal reason and balance
the right of the world and the dark refined
to form something too beautiful for our own eyes
we, blind as a whole, but not to each other
and now, you blind to me
deaf to me alone in your whirlwind,
the embrace of the torrent greets you so warmly
and my arms wilt in perpetual offering
cold, so very cold when you were near,
and even colder in your absence
how permanent it seems to me
