Ingenuity

In the darkest hour

when I’m awake

Thinking of something I’m

not supposed to fake

I’d try to flow as a river

held together 

On a drought, She comes,

trying to anomaly break

I’d have given up things

for her sake

But if I take a step back

I realize

It could have been a mistake

Assurance, reassurance 

again and again 

From myself to me

and back again 

I’d feel like a trickster

deceiving myself

For I have known myself 

longest and best

My evil mind, my selfish heart

All aghast

Mocked and ridiculed 

Always ordered, “avast!”

And it doesn’t end

goes forever 

Me deceiving Me

A Thaumaturgist 

Alone and deadly

Devilish infernally

Traitor inherently 

Prudent, fallibly

Anomic insuperably

Skulking all over

To the end of the night

It’s about time,

Sun’s gonna rise

Like a bat, I’m about to dream

Slake myself to sleep

For everything, I was not supposed to fake

Here and now,

Inanely, I did make.
