Poetry: Your Rite of Passage

Your Rite of Passage

Come here I say

As I embrace you

Tenderly

Looking into your face

As the blade pierces

Breaks the skin

And the realization of your brain

As you think

Contemplate

While realizing that

This is the end

I feel the warmth of blood

Beginning with a trickle

Increasing in flow

As I push the knife in more

The tip opening your right ventricle

I feel you shock increase

As you grasp at what is happening

As your heart begins erratic beat

You think this is it

As I pull the knife out again

You are ready to give up

To give me the ghost

Instead

I slide the blade between your ribs

Pierce both of your lungs

So I can hear the air escape out

Like an aqualung

Except in this case

Reverse breathing

Here I leave you

Prostrate and dismembered

With me being the one and only thing

You see and remember

Taken

Your heart and soul

Your lungs deflated in my hands

This is where you are

REBORN

Focus

Submission

Passion and soul

Your heart now holds

The power and skills

To attain

Destiny
