‘On Fire’ by fetching_tigerss
Defenses, paper thin
butterfly wings, the quickest to get torn
transform into sheets of hardened steel
unwavering and impenetrable by brawn
Defenses, blended and sublime
erupt and march towards the skies
disrupting the rhythm followed for years
like fold mountains when tectonic plates collide.
Defenses, cold as ice
stashed inside an insignificant crevice
flash boil and burn everything in a trice
like molten magma, when nature decides she has had enough
Defenses, dormant for years
too old to be remembered or feared
lose their composure and run wild
like a flock of birds after a gunshot is fired
Defenses – the ever so weak opponent
the one always known to turn tail
turns around suddenly, and delivers a blow
which leaves the almost winner pinned to the floor.
Defenses, tamed and docile
take on the avatar of the fiercest demons that ever walked this earth
when the ones supposed to be trusted
make a spectacle out of the brokenness
and dare take a step in the direction
of the dungeon that holds her vulnerabilities.
