In sterile light where silence keens
A boy once dreamed in grayscale scenes
His mind a maze, untouched, unseen
Until the break, a seismic scream
A shatter cracked the scaffold tight
A neuron’s bloom in fractured light
From twisted metal, fire and bone
A symphony of codes unknown were sown
Now numbers writhe beneath his skin
Equations whisper, snake and spin
As he blinks galaxies align
His powerful speak makes laws resign
A brushstroke bleeds in chiaroscuro
Recalls the scent of scorched bone marrow
Each masterpiece, each perfect note
A trauma’s echo in its throat
But knowledge came with vengeance laced
A secret in the neural waste
His thoughts grew sharp with cold intent
Not hate, but something eloquent
For when they ask “where came this gift”
His mask, his smile, a subtle shift
“For every genius spark your prize
A lesser self was sacrificed”
He doesn’t cry, he doesn’t sleep
His mind a vault of data deep
And in its depths, a single rule
The price of fire is something cruel
His fingers twitch and circuits break
As if the world must now remake
A glance, a storm, a fate rewritten
Visions once silent now snake bitten
He walks where others dare not tread
A prophet born where angels bled
And in his code, one truth is burned
The gift you steal will be returned
Each gentle stroke that he makes
The canvas trembles and it shakes
The powerful brush in his hand
Painting beautiful fortunes of our land
His truth prophecy begins to bend
As time unwinds what fate suspends
Tomorrow bleeds in crimson blue
Revealing a future man soon will view
Bloody brilliant.
Onto the list it goes.
Have a spectacular day, poet.
