Appeasing Apollo
Intransigent,intrepid,intruder
take hold your memories and flee
solid station survives,no more
Diligently distorting dreams
desolate wasteland of tomorrows
fervently forgetting fragments of a lie
Juxtapose to justify junctures
never meeting
your diluted version of love
staving starvation with trenchant word
to those that would believe
As you try to appease Apollo
while your world unravels and frays
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
An exercise in language and alliteration
