Who's love for her kin was most archaic
  She turned a blind eye
  To horrible lie after lie
And ignored her sibling's mind of mosaic...

inviting
enticing
decorative
        seemingly... 
     featureless
and strange    
        archaic 
           petrified
 in silhouette
 And yet
            ....resonant..
alive...

Heart o Silver, doth thou dither?
About the stars, or planets blither?
O grateful gods, become so weary,
Heart o silver, hast left thee teary.
Glaciated by wind and storm,
Nevermore, thy heart be warm....

Simultaneous revulsion
And primal mystic
Archaic groan
Unpredicable tectonic
Moaning through time
Creation spins itself
Reincarnation splatters across the waves
Fingering past time hopes
Groping for change...

The bullets 
will be there tomorrow
the endless sorrow
inescapable regret
that will linger, fade
reappear in the future

pure unspoiled poetry
twas an illusion
until the hipster decried
the archaic language

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips 
The seabreeze her velvet truth; archaic..
Wrapped warmly her breath, about my breast
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams...
Sliding sensually across my kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne....

as ideas endure archaic mindsets

forced silence speaks through the pen

the written word will rise to the occasion

and a Whip-poor-will chant its name endlessly

in enthusiastic appreciation from dusk to dawn...

Their sea breeze her, velvet truth; archaic 
Wrapped warmly my breath about her breast ?

Another word for
Daybreak, everyday's best
Time to be happy

Look back on the old
Recalling the best moments
Of each newborn day

Ancient tongues dawning
Should be resurrected new
Anew modern words

Wickedly wanton desires ? Burning deeply.. 
This love's lavender lit, lanterns; buried aneath 
Her sea be joyful, crimson pleasures ? Bathing aside 
Their shores soaked as sands; her beauty melting within....

Head shake ‘no’.

Why not?
Long sigh. What does task mean?
Task. Chore. Mission.
Three archaic words....
