Formed: A Poem

I created a monster
One who talks like me
One who acts like I used to
And dreams my dreams.

I created a saboteur
An angel in devil’s shoes
Content with destruction
And a penchant for hate.

I created a fragment
A figment of my mind
Transparently solid
Conscious of its being.

I created a challenge
One that tests my strength
Both inside and out
As strong as a shadow.

I created a song
Melodious in its tone
Musical in its tune
Silent in its fury.

I created a chasm
50 fathoms deep
Fearsome and mean
Waiting for all.

I created a painting
With bold brush strokes
With shaded eyes
Looking back at me.

I created an homage
To the modern monarch
Casually resplendent
Lost in translation.

I created a vision
Loveliness incarnate
In my mind’s eye
In life’s embrace.

I created a garden
With treasure’s delight
The beauty of nature’s
entangling vines.

I created a story
For you to read
One of heroes and villains
One of mystery.

I created an eagle
That soars overhead
Alighting on treetops
Boldly, baldly brazen.

I created an ocean
Of shimmering blue
Placed carefully by
to brighten my view.

I created an angel
With silvery white wings
An oracle of destiny
shining down over me.

I created a monster
One who walks like me
One who turns to face
the sunset.

I created me.
