Fate of Faceless Faith

Pious pies pilot pineapples to pricey plights

Simple As Dissecting a Frog

Love of the heart;
Love of the mind,
Oceans apart
Never to rhyme

The heart,
While shadowing function
As fast as eruption,
Gives back for consumption

The mind,
So selfish and needy,
Brings Hell to the leaving.
Babes, helpless and teething

Love of the heart;
Or of the mind?
One needn't a chart
The other is blind

Titless Girl

This reality is a titless girl:
Nothing to offer superficially;
But if I peeped under her breast,
I'd receive what'd put my soul to 
rest.
Sadly, I haven't the greatest of 
senses
To blow my fallible beliefs out of my 
ear;
What's offered underneath will stay 
in the rear.

Guillotine of Clouds

Who you know was claimed
By the guillotine of clouds
When the neck touched dirt

Ebony Aphrodite

Not even Tisiphone looming could invoke the fright this fury leaves etched across my spine
Olympus' indignation will not leave me in spiritual paralysis like She
(Shch, shch, shch) severing my Atlas, losing my mind--I can't carry these melancholy skies
Her voice, even in its brevity, balmbarded me with an inward rise of Dawn's rosey-red fingers
Now, Her silence--Her silence sings a delyreous epic of what I couldn't help, but destroy
--Without Her, I feel like Telemachus futiley fending off suitors alone
Promises to not fly too close to Helios: broken glass under a blind woman's feet
Like Perseus, I'll face whatever evil's Cracken; although, a life without Her, I'd rather be the Nemean Lion
Ebony Aphrodite, whose tone leers at me with a Medusa gaze
I wasn't Cronos; although, I was, in this gracious goddess' eyes, titanic
However, it now appears I've corroded our thread; easier for the Fates to cut

The Signifigance of Living Corosion

Death. A bright beacon in a sea storm
Endowing warnings of rocky shores.
"All hands on deck!" vessel now prepared;
The time-driven waves directing it
Homeward, no matter the ships technique.

"...I can feel my insides rotting..."

A Lesson Queerly Learned

Silky white, pink-tinted petals pushed by dreaded zephyr
They brush against cheeks; comfort sensually skinned
Delicate, freshly bloomed, fall like widows who have wept
I should too if not for ignorance willfully kept

Tail of Paranoia

Tail of paranoia slices the sky.

Feet anchored as the thought: "I will die."

Heart beats like hysterical laughter,

Repeditive like flies on a mirror.

Watching for the crown of slith'ring disease.

Contractions needed for malice to breathe.

And the short, seared screams of wics to be.

Yet, no keyhole manifested.

The Sun didn't take to Earth to crawl.

'Twas not a bomb for annihilation.

But space's longing to stimulate.

Curiosity was snuffed in fear's quake.

It's de-evolutions creation

Just Moments Til

(Picture Perfect)

Mere minutes until the end
This radiant perfection will not last
Shadows of trees will not cringe
They reach for the oily colour of 
grass
Made by nat'ral green and white-
goldish gleams
Tranquility, what I barely grasp
This scene discarded by urban 
steam
Moments like these, everything stills
Moon's quick to clean Sun's artful 
spill
Silhouettes turuned b'ings now 
desire
To consume skies left blue and black 
'til filled
Abduction by time was rapturous 
light
Twilight gives wings for euphoria's 
flight
That moment of evening bliss is 
gone
Now Night's inhabitants sing 
reverent song
