In the mists of your eyes


Here lies a silver silence, hopelessly violent
embroidered in the corners of my lips, 
Steady and stern standing on a steel of stillness,
Then, in a sudden sweep the soil begins its shift,
Why do you keep scaring off the sanctity of gravity? 
The very pavement to my soles,  
Why do the sounds of our thoughts enhance our virility?
Cause chaotic curiosities, 
Why, in the mists of your eyes I feel the undiscovered dreams, 
The opaque definition of what a silhouette of the sunsets mean
while a cluster of clouds swim amongst its rays, 
Cruel conscience creeping through unopened spaces, 
Revealing reasons why must these walls stand, 
When they have begun to feel like the simple sands 
softly dancing to the swirling sequence of the sea.
Show me the depths of the ocean, 
Let the grimness of my heart wade through the gills of all your monsters, 
Like a jellyfish in a pile of predators.
Pierce , pin , push or perhaps pull, 
Have all and more verbs take their motions onto me, 
kindly construct a hidden infirmary for the velocity of what may progress,
Set an anchor through my ribs and sail away to the divine infinite firmament.

Oi Papi, Look at you impressing me with metaphors, alliterations and what not, i am loving this poem, especially the opening the tone of that was so magnetic, like drew me right in and I was like, who could have written this? Im not surprised that its you! Uhuh! And I absolutely love the way you paint imagery in such a descriptive manner! I can see the artist in you alive, inspired! And well this is a fave for me!

Dear Lioness, there’s a kind of velvet fire in the way you write, soft enough to draw someone in, bold enough to leave a mark. I love how you let desire stay both playful and reverent, never rushed, always aware of its own music. You have a gift for making the body feel mythic. Blessings, Daniel
