salted orbs descend
bearing signatures of life
to grant us freedom

salted orbs descend
bearing signatures of life
to grant us freedom
erstwhile flashes of our enduring tale
have danced across the stage in the theatre of my mind
these lavishly adorned accounts of amorous bliss
render me besotted with the beauty and boldness of your love
your words are as delicate motes of pollen
steadily born upon this weathered breast
breathing vitality anew
as familiar as tea and cake
bringing forth a fabled tapestry of time’s treasured trove
composed of our memories
transcendent twinkle entwined in euphony
the luck that looms our love’s lore lingers eternal
for once again, we have found one another
my spirit rejoices
ringing resonantly throughout the vales of the cosmos
in heart woven harmonic virtue
Winter’s dawn has drawn as it must
Soon to rust the iron hinged doorway
The one that trapped the pointed finger
Where all that was for only once
Bits of dried and crackled color
Faintly holding lost resemblance
Passing sun storms on persistent
Blanched beyond the pallid hues
Now these eyes have outgrown reason
Cried as many seasons shed
In the clearing it is shown
The frame has fit the puzzled pane
Still my scrutinous eye searches
For an answer, glancing inward
Stunted by the icy blades
Hanging from my grim reflection
Rotted wood that mirrored diamond
Stood before me once before
Smashed these toes, drew crimson water
Stoic in its disregard
All that happened has become
The stilted visions passing through
Vanishing as though to squander
Gathered thoughts on barren sand
Pictures state a stranger’s case
Strangled by the deepest lines
Digging deeper towards life
To fell the death long overdue
Though I heard the crickets clamor
As I sunk into the board
Creaking as it knows itself to
On the old submissive floor
Scattering to reach remission
Exits can’t escape my eyes
As apprised of wasted matters
Tapering eternal haste
cascading fractal
devoid of refracted hues
imbued upon me
gone is the gloaming that granted my voice
momentary machinations of metered mirth
succumbed to simplistic sentiment
presenting in prose and preempting
redemption returning to reliquary
shelved, i delve back into these depths
bereft of bliss borrowed
left to sorrowed shades of living
erstwhile visions have vanished
now banished and burdened
outlandishly bound by sounds
since staunched along trails of
stuttered utterance
please don’t try to talk to me
can’t you see i just want to be left alone?
what’s makes you hold such regard
for the pleasure of you company?
are you suffering from communicative dissonance?
no, i will not look into your eyes
i did everything i could to avoid you
the audacity of your presumption appalls me
what unfathomable circumstance must you have suffered
to lead you to such a state of misapprehension?
why is it that you persist so ardently?
were you raised by a pack of wild wolves?
you’re precisely the reason i dare not venture out
it’s people like you that make it so
people like me cannot function in society
please stop talking
i’m not listening to a word you’re saying
don’t you have anything better to do?
how do you not understand this?
any person with half a mind would have gotten it by now
you must have it really bad for me
god! you’re so pathetic! please go away already!
now you’re really starting to piss me off
don’t make me do something we’re both gonna regret
that’s it! now you’ll understand what i mean once and for all!
i’m sorry what was that? your foot?
i’m standing on your foot?
why didn’t you just say so in the first place?

i held you in my eyes of twine
heavy lidded, in heaven’s fallout
at the garden of impressioned impetus
were petals adrift of quelling aquarelle
destined for reveries resting on bezel
should rays of radiance concord
as does every elegy effuse essence
come astral flights of wastrel mien
crestfallen cries affecting acrimony
as chemicals crude, and ghost collide
solace sought in trails of tined stinging
when souls embark to hearken home
a breathless whisper winces wistfully
e’er stilled by stay of loss allayed
art and artifice
polarities
implicitly aligned
timeless
structures strewed about
abstractions
born of suffering
whimsical woes
weave what is reaped
obscured
by the dimness
of expansion
forging
through temporal constructs
arriving
at imminent eminence
the flagship is abandoned
as its author
sinks
into the plundering depths
of a tapering relevance
prudence eclipses propriety
its elements
soon omitted
remnants lay errant
apparent to none
artifice
begets artifice
as art
is forsaken
i hear my words encrypt my thoughts
as deftly as they soon appear
layered attempts to obfuscate
the discourse of my mind’s duress
neatly tucked in wisps of whimsy
affectations strung like beads
set upon a single strand
bearing down with every breath
poring over my life’s learnings
laboriously languishing
in search of vainglorious displays
to shield me from such stark reflection
these notions superficialized
trivialize my truths
for all that i require to say
stripped of grandiloquence
is infinite in its simplicity
and speaks loud as the sun
articulates the ineffable
understood by heart alone
my words have failed me once again
by succeeding to obscure conation
poignancy as parody on parade
in pandered prose most profuse
