Two Creatures

Two Creatures

by dan ankers

Two creatures, set apart by normal human lives

Beacons in the night, set aglow

Like a dragons eyes

In flawless communications between

They are never meant to meet

on the same scene

They’ll falter if the world’s illusion’s kept

For, believing in that fairy tale IS death

And if their self-willed dispositions are not respected

A fate much worse than that

can be expected

In revolutions - unfailingly unrestrained

Their convolutions - wholly uncontained

They’ll spiral out of control

till they are no more

And seep between rocks; into the soil

And get carried up into the atmosphere to be set free

Or get washed out, among the thrashing waves of the sea

The two come upon each other, in revelations

Ideas found, time and again

in cycles

And due the world's cruelest machinations

finding always

a closeness

in perfect separation

Alas, as the mere ideas that we are..

And they, as purveyors of ideas near and far..

The most complementary things

this world could ever know

Will e'er more remain

Corporeally disconnected

‘Cept for those few times

this baned world has selected

And even only then, to represent it
