cortex of the cosmos

the sky h o m e s 
        what the sea
                      cannot confine 
as clouds crawl and croon
       carving contours
of compassion
          to calm the chaos unseen
within
the cortex of the cosmos...
          but I wonder
does the ocean
       a d r i f t 
  in sunken silence 
ever taste the briny burn 
within the
         lagoon of loneliness
amidst its
              relentless kindness?

as I see clusters of clutter
        nestled in the
somber greys of haze
 and this heart
         weeps for the wounded...

perhaps it is in
               solitary spheres
they ache for the
       starry  kiss of poisonous urchins
cradling bleached blues
        dwelling in the depth
                             of aquatic agony…

but when thoughts
      spiral like sea-tossed
conch shells
        I refuse to believe
there, 
  in   the cusp of
            weathering waves
blooms not 
            an aesthetic dream
   resembling love that breathes
                beyond the
      grasp of galaxies~ 
to be heard
    when 
p a u s e d 
              is  the shipwrecked requiem 
within pained pebbles
              piercing through~
like poetry
              without a pulse…
