With forces conspiring
Scarcity seeks deceit
On fervent love admiring
My yesterdays gather round
Avalanche of memory
Attempt to tear me down
My brief and tragic irony
Their laughter continues
Waking remembered dreams
My mind between various sinews
My reality broken seams
Ravaged conflict rages
I live among three nations
Mercurial mood stages
Brief gossamer elation
Perfunctory dead try to lead
I reject their summation
My passion my eternal seed
At once and forever,
my own proper creation
