Look!
a silhouette of the wonderous setting sky!
glowing remnants of such flaming majesty!
Astounding!
Magnificent!
Luminous!
mere reflections of Beauty,
and all i may behold.
memories
of past brilliance, frozen
in detail spectacular,
fill the tomes
stacked in this
cavernous soul,
but
there is no light to see:
the torch
having been extinguished
by me.
so i dream in shadow,
and play in between
what was
and never could be.
torn asunder
through passion’s wild grip,
heart and soul rampage
within,
yearning to escape.
shocked by my own ferocity,
i watch
bemused,
yet uninspired.
I watch,
as night falls again.
and i dance,
with the demons in my head.
soul flooded
with shadow and flame,
i sink
deep,
into the silver void.
lost
to a world
more wicked than my own.
oh,
how i longed
for her ephemeral kiss,
for
even in that longing
i did find bliss.
then, as
this moment
slips
into a specter of doubt,
this sinner prays
to be scorched once again,
by her cold
midnight stare.
A hope deferred.
a dream
wasted.
Dawn’s fiery promise,
fades limply
to a pale blue sky.
what wonders brew in your soul?
what magic beckons to your call?
what power do you hold?
let me go,
and chase the divinity
which is yours.
or,
remain here,
with me,
and bask,
adoringly
in the embers of yesterday.
flashes of wonder
scorch the imagination,
and
dreams of tomorrow
haunt your days.
whistling through the winds of desire
Change, calls your name.
Are you ready
to play this game?
without pause or
doubt,
or fear of what may,
i pull
inexorably
to you.
the threads
of my life,
between nimble fingers,
tangled and knotted-
but we,
so far from besotted.
no way but up,
to fall into open arms.
no way but down,
to where we belong.
no way,
but the way
we forgot.
one path
to
a Love
destined.
one fall
to an
Oblivion
guaranteed.
one soul,
afire with hope &
purpose &
love.
Shrouded
in the brilliant
preponderance
of the coming storm,
and
ensconced
in swirling mists
of ether,
magics,
and assorted devilry,
Destiny calls out,
desperately
yearning for your touch.
Do you
hear her?
Do you want to?
or would you rather slip
back
into sweet angelic
dreams of beauty
and love?
hidden away in vaults of eternal treasure,
She waits for your embrace.
Will you answer?
or simply wither away?
precious grace
made obsolete
by the vulgar mastications
of the vigorously masturbated masses.
this bleeding jewel-
soul’s fire,
given freely
and
enthusiastically,
is all i have to give.
is all,
that i am.
a whispered diamond that cuts
deep.
dampened peregrinations
under winter scented showers.
seeking truth
from these endless
traverses:
crossroads of the then,
and the now.
and Fate
rolls on
incessant,
flashing, with epiphanous finality.
my rorschach,
now a gift
to you….
may your revelation
lead you home.
underneath, and
between the rapturous birdsong,
and
hovering over every golden burst
of dawn,
lies
Fear,
greedily waiting
to devour your flame.
waiting
to sap your pleasure
waiting
for your fall.
Except,
the beauty of nightingale’s sorrow,
and
the blinding glory of our favorite star
lifts true believers
above the pesky threats of love.
so,
my cumbersome angel,
come,
glide
on winds untold,
and let us,
together, fall
eternal
