     The splendid, resplendent
           aurora sweeps the inner
                        life.
          I stare at gory , leaden
         clouds , unable to deter
                  them. 
       From causing drops of blood to
       run down  the shrill , deathless
                         desert. 
         A magnificent ,mazy  grove
              is painted with colorful ,
              golden threads.  
          The unassuming , 
              unflinching morn is
            the incarnation of sedate  silence      
         The wrathful , woundless
         creek thrives like
               rapturous hues of
                       serenity.
         What's the  scope of
        :lifeless wretchedness?
         : dreamed embers?
           : unquenchable longing?
             : weeping anemone?
          The oracular , intricate soul
            shields a shaded woodland
              like  a forested daybreak.

Blackness of Moon

You walk out from 
the bruises, like a late 
bloomer, for a clandestine 
affair with indigo pain.
                     
I break the barrier,
and teach myself, how not 
to make an incendiary bomb.
A cohort will untie the barbed wires.

Now you can tread carefully
on fire ants, undaunted.
While stitches will take care
of the woundless blood.

A hoax sends you scurrying,
to find the golden apple,
which never emerges in light.
In despair you commit a crime.
