Best Cauterizing Poems

"Courting the Sublime Significance of Nothingness"



The blue lines ripple like waves
to the right side of the page
vacantly calm 

from the shallow depths 
of the ponderous pond
the words, fast black fins, break the wake surfacing

mute reviews slowly circle the fresh poet treading water
eyes watch below the...

The task begins with awareness, and freedom without it is harmful. So let us not look back in fury or forward in panic, but rather around in awareness. By Poet



Let me tell you a story.

Can you Imagine a harsh quiet? Jeers sneer idleness,
or scoff to...

Each dawn, the cold steps back a pace,
In the lengthening light the cold steps back
As the lands rise fresh and free from deathlike sleep again,
To play the full young mother dressed in life itself,
Strolling through the warming, waxing sun.

Growth and generation give the lie
To the...

Sleep denied, binding sheets
restrained hot, apprehensive form;
beneath the bed, dragons' tails rapped
red staccato on the rails,
those blaze colored beasts
restlessly groaned embered tones,
cauterizing thoughts on Fear's volcanic brand.

Heavy quiet, sinister, 
stealthily slinking in the dark,
gathered like oppressive fog 
about the midnight strike.
The knob chattered, teeth on...

As I saw your
caged
soul rioting for my
attention, I knew
you to be my 
perfect
victim and started
envisioning how to
ravage
your beauty so it could 
ensnare
and impersonate my
lifetime wishes

Fearlessly you
revelead your 
nature, fiercely you
demanded
reprimand, boldly you
offered
acts of service, bravely you
amassed
chisels and knives at my
reluctant
feet for me to
begin
dissecting you

Now brace
yourself...

Blinded by the Light


The lightning, it was over-bright
vengeance, slashing a darkened sky,
awakening the sins of night.
The lightning, it was over-bright,
usurper of the dead souls sight,
cauterizing the heavens eye.
The lightning, it was over-bright
vengeance, slashing a darkened sky.

A cloud like hand
rolls across my cheek,
      stealing a moment
as cold fingertips
     sear down my back,
freezing the skin they touch,
 bringing me away
          from my bloodlust,
captivating my...

Perdition's registry of effort's track,
this viscous cycle, memory causing lack
malignancy, a timeless, soulful wrack!

I pace the effort, then abstract
a set of rules, or understanding's feign
usurping dignity, a cure does not proclaim!

And magnitude of sentry, lines disdain
that negative approach is but insane,
survivor's list,  miraculous acclaim!

Oh,...

Sanguine fluid hemorrhaging from a contrary source
My credence wavers at your broken promises
I once abjured all of your fatuous wars
Until I too was branded on your canvas’

Some tawdry amusement you secrete
Only to emerge in your tenebrous off time
A murmured melodious beat
To make a pedestrian appear...

so fragile we are---
broken eggshells on
the pavement,
split ends tearing,
puzzle pieces 
scattered all over the
place with no one
qualified enough to
put them together,
selves upon selves
upon selves upon 
selves, questions 
contradicting 
assertions & 
assertions wanting
to blot out any
further questions,
open wounds that
keep bleeding 
no matter how hard
we try to...

and me as well,
    through it
       I spring forward
 biting into
        the lushes flesh
in her upper chest
  near the right shoulder.
As my teeth
  burst through the skin

My blood betrayed me
Seeped slowly from its delicate channels
No one noticed, not at first
All inside, it did hide

I slipped away; slowly like a trickle
But they cut and tore and explored
Cauterizing and containing
Suction and clamps
Pulsating arteries and starving organs

Most was gone, but not all
Reinforcements were called...

In your weather beaten mind;
Clouded with mistrust and filled with guile;
Alone and trouble child son of man;
Son of God;

Crashed and trashed venom cauterizing your ears;
Sneaking pass the levels of poisons;
Your on your own and yet;
You haven't been to the garden yet;

Reprobate minds buying time;
You may...

His reverie ended as he was brought back to reality when he stepped into a patch of deep fresh snow and promptly fell face down in a hollow on the leeward side of a boulder.  He was not angry. In truth he was quite...

It’s on the tip of my tongue,
On dusky lawns where smiling is essentially
Lit parks with ghosts running along fences in the dark
And the nocturnal renewal of joy from within young and old,
A collective cauterizing over fudgecicles,
The minutiae of love exists as mist
Over long hours swinging...
