The Power of a Word
Syllables swollen on the tongue
A phallus of excretions that cannot be undone
Sounds swim sluggish through cloying air
To reverberate anvils hidden in skulls and hair
The vernacular limp with impotence
Only timbre climax in cosmic resonance
Ears see what escapes the eye
Livid colours flood the cerebral sky
Syntax caress neurons with carnal delight
Images explode… senses in darkness… now light
Tendrils resound through ravenous caverns
Incantations echo about naked liaisons
To ravish those ruins of sobriety
That hushes the brazen ardour of society
Corruption tears, spewing sordid decay
With gusto and zest over flaccid lips in dismay
Savagely it rips our world apart
Our eyes fly open with a defiant start
Ears listen to hear the voice of the mind
Then heard… and listened… to its own kind
