Clear signal disappeared

Vapid void

Confusion ripped

Clarity stabbed

Thought pierced

Emotion jabbed

Growing fierce

In the bank

Dense fog encroaching

 

But below all

A steady drum

The heart continued its beat 

 

Chided

Reproached

Rebuked

All for the audacity

of approaching

As a friend 

 

But below all

The heart continued its beat 

 

The wolf began

Haughty pace

Thunderous footsteps

Pounding soul

Mind distracted

Assimilating

Askew

 

But below all

The heart continued its beat 

 

Increasing rules

Restrictions

Foreign to friend

Understood by foe
Well understood
By foe
But fought
By friend 

Fast placed 
Since 
St. George cast the devil from Paradise 
So it may be 
A sanctified hell
So she
Could be free
To become
A sainted succubus
Trapped

Perpetuated
By codex creation
Letters of law
Remain rigid 

The bearer of gospel 
Excommunicated 
Named Heretic 
Remained 
Undaunted 

The unholy paladin 
Forever pushed 
The periphery 
As he was pushed 
To the periphery 
Conventional 
Turned guerrilla 

But below all 
The heart continued its beat 

For as himself 
As a friend 
He was the most dangerous of all 
For that was the base  
When the heart began its beat

So his name became an aberration
A focus
of fear
His light would be cast out
For its slightest intrusion showed
The cracks in the facade

On this
The other
And she
Could agree
For without rules
Where would we be?
In the games
People play

It could be denounced 
But not be denied 
For
Below all 

The heart finally 
continued

its 
beat
