Delicate, delightful,
Wonderfully pure.
Only rightful
To be drawn by the allure.
To hold you lightly, softly
Gently to caress,
To comfort when things go awfully
And pull you from distress.
All that I could want, just that.
More than I should hope?
Possibly, when you look at
How I always lead down a slope.
Always to start as a trickle
And seemingly infinitely small
Until the issues are no longer fickle
And we’re stuck in a free fall.
Diving quickly into a version worse
Than who we were when it all started.
It seems to be my own wretched curse
To inadvertently twist up the whole- and good-hearted.
I’m sorry I’m as poison
And weaken with my touch.
I’m sorry for such a full cup
When it doesn’t take much.
I know you were strong, made of iron
But I’m oxidizing, rust.
I likely should have warned you,
All I breathe on turns to dust.

The horsemen have arrived on their menacing mares,
Whose stiletto-hoofed horseshoes click-clack on an achromatic static;
Silent staccatos inside an ultraviolet light.
As vidalian-dampened eyes drip viridian veneers before the mounted steeds,
And embrocations of nuclear infernos' fumes simmer their cimmerian shades,
A penumbral eclipse gallops atop the sickened sky.
Diaries dug from the barren breasts of Chernobyl,
Inscribed with cautionary caveats of the terrace's truncation:
Of the kudzu and its vehicular veins sucking its captured prey,
Gobbled by mushroom sombreros with barbed electron brims.
No more shall zephyrs sing the azalea thistle.
No more shall blackened dahlias dance upon the dungeon drapes.
No more shall lightning lick the leathery land of ozone.
At last the poisoned atom's apple has been bitten.
Down it goes through the three mile throat that thickens with silica,
Oxidizing the once electric crepuscules with a toadish croak.
And at last, this system of solar spheres will be but a dream,
Hidden away in supernova starlight; locked with skeletal keys behind your mind.

A barren paradise
Paper parachutes
Bleed, I before we
Except after deaths
String of light suctions
Screams captioned
Vocalizing muffles
Fleas flee
Parasites sight
Leaches beseech
Conventions plateau
Wonted into winter
Inept untaught cling
Polluting prospects
Tasting achilles
Oxidizing tongues
Clip urinating lips
Pressurizing knuckles
To freeze ends mean
Of inks soap
Washing pluto pores
Till burning gain
Is nothing lost
Samold verse
An inkling fresh
What's left to not do?
Peddle soup cans?
Underline oddities?
Misspell mutiny?
Lying in a sensible
Juxtaposition
A fruitful prison
