Clarity, Darkness, Destruction, Renewal (Autumnal: The Election Epilogue)

Finally,
leaves fall
and branches lay bare,
naked to the whipping winds.

robin’s nest
abandoned and exposed
Winter
approaches
with the odors
of Death, and decay.

ideas and ideology
pride and empire
dreams and naivete
divine grace –
all dead.

what is the shelf life,
of Destiny
Manifested
Completely
on broad scarred backs
and stolen land?

birth of a nation realized,
now comes the growing pains
viewed through eyes sardonic
of jaded young hearts.

Spring
hopes
eternal.

but not yet my brother
not yet my sister
not yet

the ugly hotness

tears and smoke.
lost souls flying,
one way.

the (second)
worst thing ever.

how,
when,
will it ever be ok
again?

lost generation:
fear mongering
and
baptized
in hate,
and
ghosts.

Now,
a Light,
reeking of arrogant bomb-
ast,
rises
gently,
proudly,
TRIUMPHANTLY,
to heaven.

Dare
to
Dare,
don’t look back,
and do it again.

Who 

no one.
not a damn blessed soul
ever told me this road would end.

that everything just kinda,
stops.

Everything,

but me.

laying awake-
spinning,
healing,
falling,
waiting

in the absence of what never was.

illuminated by the love I see,
illuminated by the love I feel

inside of, and
for

you.

Yeah Babe,

You.

lost world

orphans of a God misplaced,
wailing hungrily.

simply yearning
for
but a touch
of love
unfulfilled.

hardened eyes

vile vitriol

honest hearts
vomit rotten truths
unto brothers
and sisters all.

blinded,
seething
fearful and small,
remaining generous
in the pain they share.

as two
big
bewitchingly
brown eyes.

 

Promises
of chaste
propriety
tossed aside-

all
is NOT fair.

No mercy,
as your soul
mercilessly flails
your heart
deep in the
inside of you.

why?
why did she
touch you

right,
there?

why do your lips
yearn.

 

for
a brush with
the divine-
the divine realized
as protruding
pillows of soft
pink
that whisper
love.
Love.

budding
bulbs that sing
dirges for the unrequited.

because
you
are lost.

lost in the beauty
of knowing
self’s counterpoint,
revealed.

I met

Beauty

personified,

and

She let me in,

close.

so close.

and then,

she was gone.

gone.

She saw

in me

something other

of the Divine.

Yeah… can you believe that shit?

in me.

We touched 

minds,

and poured souls,

but i wanted more.

i wanted a taste

of what i could not have,

of what

i may never

know.

But,

I met Beauty.

and i know

i am.

Yeah!

Am.
and She,
is

Glorious.

rain

familiar

patter
pits roiling agonizing antagonists

in my belly.

in the cold summer’s rain.

Hospitality 

worthy of the ‘reddest’ of weddings.

Fuck it,

I move on.

There is much

Beauty

in the rain,

and beyond.

besides,

tis a mere drizzle,

ending now.
