Oubliette

Calligraphic psyche in a delicately expressed avalanche; Addressed to whom it may concern in a note, carte blanche. Four walls house the sweet suicide, boxing floor to ceilings; Heavy pen seeking solace, in the paper basket of crumpled feelings. Woven casket of emotions, burning in the fire of memoirs' curse; Heart bleeding in the small print, upon his white board's blank verse. Black board yearns the chalk who defines her essence in his signature; Spaghetti junction, crossed paths of hurts, haunting the bigger picture. Four seasons ending upon forked roads in the crossed I's; Smudged in the leaking paneled mirrors, seeping from the soul of lies. Ball-point pen lamenting in dotted T's of tears, blurring beauty's vision; Audible taunts blemish mind's canvased dreams, setting core a mission. Indelible marker of permanent heart-break screaming out in the spirit, quilled; Dim lights singeing angst in midnight oils, spilled. Tarnished scenes play out the imprints onto an easel, noir; Pastels imploding in the varnishings over garnished voices, mar. Acrylics blending in with the fractured vessel, stagnant; Shattered foundations exploding inside the rebuilding fragments. Shadows and light kiss rainbows, once lost to the blame-grilled charcoaled essentia; Silver lined Aura's serenity begins, now found in the pendulum pit of adventure. © July 18th 2013
