The Poison of Perfection

Few people understand

The poison of perfection,

But I've drunk, firsthand,

Its incurable infection.

My mind, under command,

Had suffered in its addiction;

In swathes of sinking sand,

Convoluted emotion

Roiled beneath an iron band

Charged with electric attraction.

The utter strength at hand

Had lured me into a passion,

Seeking the distant land

In an endless expedition.
