Strength of character
slumbers deep
in quiet confidence
Energized unity
deafening noise
to prove, to be
Turns rosy cheek
to claimed friend
Their voice: bitter malice
Patiently awaiting, betterment
For no one’s sake
but own, undone
Ties of want, unthreaded
Untethered, snaking jealousy
slithers, to find calm
Pool of tranquility
well dressed, tailored spite
disrobed and naked
at solitude’s threshold
Fear, he shrugs, before
disintegrating as cinema witch
Vanished the dark
When tongue
held silent
