Into state of purity

Cold ambitions be true
By mind over matter
I turn gasping 32
Before I mentally shatter
Into state of purity

Whole decade without remembrance
Pain taken and delivered
Has half a chance
Recognized as truth requivered
Into state of purity

Swinging flicks for ages
Still one bit dysfunctional
Not posting solitude rages
Showing you the terminal
Into state of purity

Poetry controls my shame
Undoing shadows and dust
Taming lost boy's fame
Adapted as a thrust
Into state of purity

I can never forget
But outlive the host
Analyzing justice before regret
Honouring solely her ghost
Into state of purity...
