Fickle Nights Unadorned

Aural pleasures span the darkest caverns,
Unearthing scenes dispatched to furthest nooks recessed beyond the transcriptions filtered in mundane,

Blind to tumults spawned by inconvenience spared, the watch spins in sternward approbation, coveting a valance oft ignored, tempering uneven folds with carcasses of lost oases

Curdled regurgitation spindles up the larynx cold, smothering voice with misplaced improprieties, discourse measured in startling degrees—calculations that once seemed so grand, retrospectively tense at the thought of invisibility shunning predication

Feral codes bewildered through mismanaged indiscretion, cultured by the harbingers of satiety, wilting pomades and soft-etchings embedded superficially upon the iris of the third eye,

Focus has been condemned
To a hazy retro-gradated piercing
Born from unsubstantial illumination,
Built beneath the corroded buttresses deemed unfit for the staging of this or any other…emptying out
This theatre with handbills piled at the door.



I haven't written anything in quite sometime, but found this on a notepad I wrote a while back and thought I'd post it.

Synchronized Utopian Idyll

It was a dynamic inquisition,
Without a single word misspoken,
It was a dynamic synchronization,
Where not a word went unspoken,

                       Inspiration doused me full,
                       Caressed me and kept me still,
                       Drenched head to toe,
                       But in the end, not a soul would even know

It was a dynamic inquisition,
Without those awkward moments of intervention,
Not an abstraction spun; not a vice untouched,
It was a masterful interjection,
Where only a pause disconnected being from breathing
Where only the pause separated hear from here,

As time progressed
I felt red to have previously guessed
Things would’ve gone differently than they would,
Thinking there’d be an intense transition
As I waited for the lies to come
     But they never came, nor ever could
     Not a lining torn or a truth made of elastic
     It was the deepest of revelations
     As each question produced an answer,
     Where each sound to slip away beneath parched tongue,
     The more it continued, a voiceless man I therein became
And you somehow understood, you somehow understood things about me, that even I couldn’t comprehend
        
                  To have been given so much respect
                  From someone I could not have ever known
                  To have been treated like an equal,
                  From someone filled with so much devotion
                  Giving me the honor of unparalleled recognition
                  Those words, those words—
Could only serve as stones—thrown
Across such stillness—skipping forever on and on and on—
Until we each found our Om
In whatever it was
That circumstance just happened to have
In this space most precariously spun.

Something's Hidden

Away from the wrested stone
A jewel etches its image upon
Juxtaposition

Where it was and what it never could

Be, to fathom’s length, I bestow
Whistled meanderings, delivered far, unto
A crested portico of everlasting sights unknown

The fantasy’s off-balance whereas
The congruency paints vivid premonition

Vacating the probable,
Forever residing


scarcely in-between

Stasis (Ephemerality)


There is no such thing as time.
Never-ending.  Never-beginning.
Always There.  Ever and Ever more.
What is now, is also then and that is also what has been.

{Cue the neat opening credit theme music.  Something that gets the audience in a particular type of mood, say unexpectedness, something that preps them for what’s to follow, and we want them to think that the future is profound and deep…if only to eventually slap them across the head with what comes next} 

But of course, only if what comes next is
Something that’s happened since.

Of The Eye


Eyes awaken,
Right first, then left,
Stardust clinging to the lashes,
Refusing to concede
That wondrous moment was but dream
Leaving me alone
Comforted only by the memory
That this is all but a part of reality
