Poem
" Tortured metaphors spilling from tequila lips, t i p t o e on my pulse ~ breaking in an arced smile of the featherless eclipse, where I waltz as a secluded steel-shine, sobered s o f t l y by the taste of satanic stars..." I'm the loss of a leaf from gold-dew aspens, rippling upon turquoise typewriters, where drunk fingertips dance. Turning to ashes, my heart m e l t s as a metallic grenade, and no philosopher's stone ever reverberating in its silver-winged silence. Seeking shelter from smoldering seas, I curl up in the womb of a guardian willow ~ she's a weeping angel of n e v e r l a n d, with an ornamented garland of guns and roses, enveloping me in the corpse of sunset. Plunging from diamond cobwebs into isles of champagne, like a dynamite dove bloodthirsty for sun, I l u r k along reefs studded with rhinestones, unfurling – lotus manuscripts as poetic pearls s l i p and t w i r l, snorkeling in an obsidian oasis. I miss being a purple-whisper prophecy, threaded in fractured letters, for now, my ink b l e e d s in the marrow of moon, where an alchemy is lost and found... In the chronicles of carnelian clemency and supernova sorcery, I've seen arctic assonances hibernating in the throats of those, holding lethal jewels as a nightingale's neon noose. So, if my soul is an opal widow of your thistle-light affection, a verse romanticised will be my crystal coffin, and in the caricatures of kohl and karma, our silent soliloquy shall delicately be shifted. Surfing in the splitting s i n s of a salty saviour, this whiskey damsel shall evermore remain a scentless phrase, scrapped by pencilled brush-strokes, i n v i s i b l e in our paper-cut destiny...
