Sovereignty

• Description: I tend to write kind of obscure stuff, so just keep in mind that it's not necessarily supposed to rhyme, or blatantly portray a certain idea.
  Interpret it however you will =)
  
  I like constructive criticism but don't be too harsh,
  It's my first time posting! X3

A fluttering engine with no pilot,
I am bound to the mud beneath you.
An explosion and scattered debris
Sinking into the moistened soil.
Spreading my arms wide open to the rain,
Beating down on my crawling skin.
Locked jaw, I cannot fly.

Even with reason, I fail to live.
With those misled lips,
We exchange beloved words.
The volume raises and the insects
Emerge from pores, slithering
Through my spine, into the skull.
Accidental cancellation,
The android is reset.

Useless fingers curl and gnarl.
Mental deficiency chewing inside.
Tubing and wires spark and die,
Words dancing through wrong circuits.
The spirit inside the machine screams for freedom,
Unable to escape through pleas, alone.
Give him strength.

Set it free, the gathered presence,
Find yourself through carnage.
Releasing traces when hinges detatch.
The fates are sealed, hush yourself.
Such liberation is forever in vain.

Really fantastic, you're the only poet I've seen on this website with any sense of metaphor and imagery that goes beyond cliches. I love it.
