Wandering..., searching..., relentless....
Fumbling place to place,
no longer running,
but now sprinting.
Drinking and tasting from a cornucopia of fanciful delicacies.
Gobbling down every exquisite morsel,
but just slow enough to give room for the next tasteless bite.
Palate swimming in numb blinding sensation,
fearing forever,
the absence of the unaccounted savor.
Must eat faster!
Titilated by prospects of tantalizing taste,
the seared callous tongue dismissed,
unawares of the paradoxical emptiness,
the unsatiable fulness,
must not miss out.
Must go faster.
Must have more.
Must dismiss distraction.
Tongue trapped,
and sumptuously shackled,
definitions disparage and values distort,
freedom wrested,
first myopically disregards,
digressively departs,
and finally disputingly disdains,
the passion - less path.
Betrothed to unrequited want,
impervious to appreciation,
affectionate only for sensation,
accepting of everything yet to - no one.
Heresies of heresies,
the ultimate blaspheme,
choking the breath of life,
the ultimate sign of slavery,
the fiendish design to demise,
reframed to resist remorse,
reconstituted to read as rectitude,
re-enthroned as heart and head,
relabeled ruler, teacher,
root of action and intent,
LOVE of master discovered,
the slave clings forever to,
and for,
their bondsman - destruction.
