"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...

    through it
       I spring forward
 biting into
        the lushes flesh
in her upper chest

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

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

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

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...

Each dawn, the cold steps back a pace,
And in the lengthening light the tender green steals up
Through the retreating ice and snow
As the lands rise fresh and free from the deathlike sleep again,

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
