ETHEREALITY
I
contemplate
&
there
find
an atmosphere
colour
&
emotion
fill my mind
with
imagined scenes
&
thereby
the empty heart
where loneliness
once lived
apart
arrested
moments
fly
free
once more

on pause
for a moment
touch
the shadows
on the wind
emotions
soft-breathed
dwell
in a lyric
of
love

The vast wonders of the celestial body,
the weightless islands that travel around ethereality.
It carries mysteries that waltz within revelations and lay beyond my imaginations.
look up to the sunny sky
so high, so bright
It feels like flying to the ocean of your eyes
so wide like your smile, so blue like your mood
Tell me the truth,
I'll sing you a lie
And fate will harp the strings of our life
while we dance even though we're paralyzed
Gaze up the starry night
so deep, so dark
it feels like drowning to the height of your depth
to the shallowness of your beam, to the abysmal of your anguish
your voice sounds like verity,
your words are a petty reverie
While you spoke in complete silence
What I hear is orchestral harmony
The truth's shameless lie
Revelations that hide secrecy
Did curiosity kill the cat?
Or the dogs that hide the fact?
The sky has no eyes
But it can see through our lies
The sky has no heart
But it keeps accurate to falsify.

I’m drowning in the waves...
The grave riptides that are my past relationships are scattered...
The sunken graveyard of broken,
beaten,
blackened,
and battered ships with dark smoke stacks
that billow the past, used-up souls up up and away discharge the bodies under
as they cannot pass through to ethereality.

shocking the rhapsody of her soul, the multi-faceted jewels — layer upon layer. the hyper-hues of depth and kaleidoscopic threat. would she absorb or attack those who dare to penetrate her contorted web. where does one begin. should she step gently or slingshot her way into this trippy ethereality. the dreamgirl satisfies with innuendos — questions do not breathe. she merely undulates in the sinews of the matrix.

stillness …
save a twittering bird ...
hand on clarity, hardness -
fingers spread
opposing - jets of oily black octopus ink, (resembling)
decanted, manipulated, channeled
barbed circles coalesce
language as beauty?
as malleable substance?
oh, indeed ...
swirled and crimped with astonishing intent
into intricate spherical patterns
(of non-linear orthography)
hello ... what are you ...
your names ... mine
and ultimately, why -
why are you here?
can you feel me tremble?
can you sense that I sense how feeble a creature I am -
how formidable and dreadfully beautiful I find you?
are you as taken with my atomity
as I am with your grandeur?
can we find, here, amidst opalescence and ethereality
a place of concurrence?
(time is fluid)
can we weave a kinship from our difference?
(a divide as great as the ocean of suns that swims above us)
or are we, in our reciprocal ignorance
doomed to a tragic misreckoning?
pray not, that ...
for your awful, awesome elegance
and your fierce utterances ...
take my breath.

They're in a Better Place
This is not the time
for well-intentioned
testimony to
ethereality
so unfathomable
as these deaths
before me.
Praise heaven
and rejoice;
disguised as consolation
to me,
fractured,
who knows no better
than grief;
I have been left;
let me rage;
let me cry out
in torment;
let me.

he watched her,
lying there in the grass, among flowers,
the cherry petals covering her slowly…
he suddenly realized
how sweet was the shadow
touching her
and each flower gently offering
its tribute of death to her
was no less beautiful
than that wonderful crimson bloom
he himself had helped birth
on her chest…
the nectar of that flower still on his hands
and the ethereality of the cherry-tree shade on his retina,
he wished to grow roots
and draw life from the very earth that she,
his masterpiece,
was slowly
beginning to become

Oh Lord
Bathe me by your purity
The day break solemnity
Allow me to embrace by my soul
Lost by the life lived so brutality
Condone my sin, and
Allow me to live with ethereality.
Oh Lord
Mesh me by your allegiance
The day break innocence
Allow me to bow down by my mettle
Veiled by the mortals so boisterous
Forgive my errs, and
Allow me to breathe gratuitous.
Oh Lord
Bosom me by your lordliness
The day break placidness
Allow me to close my eyes by my idolatry
Bygone by the traits so savageness
Relieve my ail, and
Allow me to die onliness.

emptiness engulfs me
empathy is bound
gone, after swearing to never
ethereality cannot comfort
ocean waves of echoed heartache
crash on fog hid jetty stone
tribulations shake an inner core
Oddly never wanted anymore
what is it really for
This net of inter has entangled
without touch
