Synergy, Within Me

i stand quietly
my eyes close

i can feel all of my body's energy align.
psyche, emotions, sexuality, sense of humor
everything forming this amazing inner-synergy

the street lights turn off around me
as i open my eyes to a fully seen world
there is no measure to the confidence i feel
now i fully trust my every sensation
 - to include my very intuition
and i know nothing worthy to still cause me fear

calm as i embrace the sensation,
i walk on to my goal


my vision sees before me a monumental web
seeming to stretch all the way up into the sky
at the top is a monstrous black widow
and the path between us is littered by lesser men
who've become trapped in her webs

from this synergy within me...
a powerful passion ignites, my soul ablaze with it
and i know it's useless to fight my destiny

before i know it, i'm travelling in leaps and bounds
practically flying up the sinews of the web
my sword drawn and cutting the trappings of others

men freed by my hand: yet weather they stumble
slowly down the widow's web
or fall so quickly to their deaths
that is theirs to deal with - not mine.

already i've made good progress
when i realize my true intentions
and the first thoughts of turning back strike me

but already i'm too late - the spider queen sees me
and she moves slowly and sinsiterly down towards me
her legs so gracefully picking along the threads of her web
so that she moves always closer to her latest hunger
and so her too many eyes never move from mine

i've not realized it yet, but she's drawing me furthing in
i can already feel the silky veins wrapping warmly around me
the eyes are so intense, so intriguing, so addicting
and their still staring at me but from right above me now

then i feel the spider bite at the base of my neck
it is painful at first, but then numbness
there's an eerie euphoria to the whole sensation
i'm fully tempted to take the last step
and fully give myself over to it

but the synnergy within me, it is a powerful thing
and i know the consquences of taking no action
but of course, i am still ensnared by the web

there's an instinct awakening inside of me now
that tells me to panic
yet even as i feel her venom flowing from the spider bite
there's a great instinct already awake inside of me
that reminds me that power is given
and thus this world has no power over me

so i fully embrace her poison
i study and scrutinize it even as i absorb it
i understand that it is a part of the black widow.
i learn from it, and it becomes a part of me

i smile now, for i am empowered by she who seeks to kill me

the passion that so inflames my soul grows even more intense now
i realize all this drama is now at a climax and i smile to myself
because i know i am in complete control of the final outcome of my destiny

the very essence of my being burns so intensely now
that the silky sinewy web about us ignites with the passion
the spider queen shrieks in rage and lunges in for the attack.
but even as she lunges, we begin to fall back towards the ground
the burning web falling all around us, enveloping us in it's blaze

her fangs and all eight legs attack me wildly now
with a rage that is palpable in the very air around us
such as only a save beast is truly capable of

and me?
i take it all

until i realize i've already endured the worst she has to offer
and then even as she continues her assault with lethal intent
i but my smirk at her

in the next moment my arm flies out with lightning speed,
my palm smacking powerfully into her head
and in that briefest of moments when my flesh touches the beast
i can feel all the great force of my synergy release into her
and i find myself crying out, "Enough!  Change back!"

and just like that her hard carapace is shattered
and in the blink of an eye the monstrous spider queen is gone
and there is only her true form.


the beautiful woman who is now falling to her death beside me
she smiles so warmly and lovingly at me, "how did you know?"
but i gently set my finger to her lip to silence her
then i pull her deseperately into my firm embrace

and in my last few all too precious seconds
one last thought flitters thru my mind:
its a good thing it ended so perfect -
otherwise we may have killed each other
