The Fault

This, a collapsing division
Of our longest standing divide;
Ours, a sole carnate revision
Of that which we would once deride;

As all the bitter tastes we taste,
Such burning cold and ugly snow,
And each break fades out in its haste,
A livid vine living to grow

And fester as a parting gift--
Once wolven-skinned compassion--
Brandishing a new schism and rift--
Now sheep-skinned and thus impassioned,

Sheathen false wings of Seraphim,
To rust and field this frightened fold,
Mercurial from limb to limb,
The acidic fall to behold.

Immortal Dust

Pentagonal, this pentagram
	Set in stone above all gold,
With facets as a bat’ring ram
	For the thrill of the hold

And testament not to the chase,
	But to the leash instead.
Cataclysmic, its grating pace,
	As elemental lead

Eyes, on every motionless side,
	Give way to a dull sheen,
Slaten and opaque, petrified
	In the drip of morphine.

Paragonal hypocrisy,
	An ever-shifting seam
To this fabric complacency;
	A needle to a dream

With the trappings of a nightmare
	Obsidian.  To break
Free with haze on an endless stair
	Is thirst to mutely slake;

But to climb to the precipice,
	Towering in man’s rust,
And vilify its carapace--
	Olympian in dust.

Heartfelt

It is hard, too hard, to describe quite how I feel,
	But how is it easy to describe something so real?
Silver drops, surely angel’s tears, perhaps emotion,
	From deep within the human heart of devotion?
Maybe the umbra of my shadow, holding me together,
	Or maybe your presence making my little world better?
Life and such entwining the thoughts of two, or the two,
	In their own choice, entwining themselves so true? 
This could be a moment I forget, but how could I, with you near,
	Forget your eyes with diamond thought, so crystal, crystal clear?
Even in subtle glimpses of our hearts meeting times too few,
	I know that the time is right to say, “I love you.”
