Tangent Away

listen to ‘Tangent Away’ on Audioboo

Brisk flashes, suddenly appear

from the vale, they shutter

they jab, they prod, they spear,

Distorting hues collect their mirage

from distant skylines, here

we dodge, in a myriad of triumphant shades

Corruption has a face, one

we’ve all worn, that can still, even to this day,

be seen, if you only stop and stare into memories well

Fate is like a twisting, gnarled root,

always seeking and searching, for the

nourishment found in an ever expanding route

Whenever the weight pushes down—in

ways that you can never properly explain—where pressure mounts

heavy, leaving breaths aghast, just remember….

just remember, that, in all your many unsettling gasps, with every frightening tremor felt deep inside, when overpowering swirls of distress alter your sense of self, bringing nothing but damaging pictorials of imagination…just remember….

Just remember...

you’re only ever a tangent away

from a more compatible shade of day
