Author’s note: So here we are again! More words, slugs forced to take on the beautiful wings of a butterfly. This one makes a bit more sense than the last. This the simple representation of the clashing of our inner animal-ism, humanism, and pitiful perspective of our perfect presence.
Two foes
Pulling, in perfect harmony
Pushing life to normalcy
Holding frailty in it’s gentle hands
With swift slashes
and wicked lashes
The soft ones scream in peace
Beg for reconciliation
Blind to perfect amity
Sinister silence
Sweet serendipity
Perilous plague
Precious peace
Vindictive violence
Vivid violet
Ferocious fear
Fading fire
Beast and man, fate entwined
The kiss of each we have defied
Alliteration is literally my favorite, so this poem just made me really excited. I just love each stanza, and the powerful word choice used really captured the essence of your theme - animalism vs. humanism. Keep writing poems like this; they're wonderful.
