Sentinel

Adualtion's esurient eye/
anticipates the chosen/
Rani/
as she moves in polychromatic effulgence/
effortlessly/
her/
nimbus is radiant/
indicative/
of an authenticated birthright/
she IS/
the heir apparent/
the sentinel/
standing watch at the crystal gate/
where the heart's true longings/
abide/
& nurture musings/
she is the embodiment of intrepid hope/
intrepid strength/
challenging oppression/
by her sheer presence/
it/
rises up from the aphotic bowels/
of the swamp of ignorance & intolerance/
where leeches dwell/
in wicked jollity/
& encircles her glory/
sensing the delectable ichor/
coursing through her veins/
It abhors her splendor/
her haughty calm/
her unshakable faith/
in the indomitable spirit/
of a resolute soul/
it is determined/
to still her voice/
to enervate her potency/
to usurp her reign/
from the monotone prism/
of/
malicious intent/
it seeks/
her audacity/
in the face of life's/
vicissitudes/
and the liberating eos/
emanating like lightning/
from her demeanor
