Red River

By R. Cary

Determination of Goodness, enlightenment, my soul incised, my burial

Of brutality, savagery, as I never relent, as weeping tombs seep with this

River of red renditioning my purpose, my sense of self distilling, burying

Intrepidity unearthed, isolating a form of desolation where crimson blood

Drains through lost ambitions, as the toll rises, further I demise, in

Determination of Goodness, enlightenment, my soul incised, my burial

Lacking sanctity, as faith in my muses assenting my bonded creed

Seeps crimson’s reign through my self-sanctuary coursing into this

River of red renditioning my purpose, my sense of self distilling, burying

My creed into the river of the damned, as I seek the molten of my heart

Solidifying into an iron bridge of faith to cross this river bleeding my

Determination of Goodness, enlightenment, my soul incised, my burial

Forging into the bond of iron eros isolating this bleeding crimson blood

Seeping into my tombs, as humanity’s persistence, resilience against this

River of red renditioning my purpose, my sense of self distilling, burying

Convictions I uphold as truth living in my requiem of embodying faith

In this iron bridge for all to cross, as the river runs and the tombs weep

Determination of Goodness, enlightenment, my soul incised, my burial;

River of red renditioning my purpose, my sense of self distilling, burying

End

Red River
