The Burden of Genius

In contemplative thought; dares he
Embrace seclusions self-imposed
As darkness plunders through the mind
In sacred deprivation loathed

His starving whole disgraced by parts
And mind compelling fiery scourge
Gruels the labor's gorging impulse
Enticing tortured brilliant purge

As decomposing life absorbs
The twisted turmoil deep inside
An intuition's masterpiece
Inhibits tribulation's pride

With blatant disregard of wrath
The mind wreaks havoc to create
Exquisite beauty etched in blade
Admired for its genius fate
