Ceiling Lights

To give thought: the treachery against self, as prevalent as mirrors. We confuse—and distort our very faces, pointing at galaxies. I felt for journeys, for a gladsome lot, as deep as sadness. The music carried, to bury a soul, and now for repeats. I can’t for tears, to carry a tunnel, to walk—run—and—sprint. We knew complexity, to outwit a mirror, and ever in character. We died alone, and smiled in crowds, partly neurotic. It caught attention: to stare blankly, to harvest grime, to sickle weeds. We threshed for guile, ever to see it, to smile at mirrors. It was felt amusing: to witness folly; to gauge a greeting. We turned a corner: to watch it spin; to die in private. Love was a mystery: to know this word, to visit rarely; and still for lies; and still for anger—if one caught sight. The passion—for quite amazing, to invest such energy. The soul would stumble, to hear for laughter, to find it repulsive; where thoughts haunt, to forge images, to ponder consequence. It never leaves: a churning of winds; an echo of terror; where a mind speaks to itself. I couldn’t but see: a lot for death; the landscape of eyes. Oh for essence, as green as terror, as green as newborns. It’s a damning caption; where love is distance, despite the minutia.     Some live unvisited, to unhand self, where the inner chamber suffers.     I fault not a soul, entangled fully, chasing engrams. They surface at random; to reason through darkness; where good rests quietly. I ponder love, the deepest union, to feel for presence. Its deep the mind, where heart is real, a floating dimension; where pain is art, and art is life, and grandma knows: to sit in gentleness; to stir a ritual, by asking for help. Oh to think back, to visit a memory, to know for goodness; and still the friction, to wrestle forces—stationed in high places; whereat is power, a deep paradox, to read through proverbs.     I love it more, an icy orientation, camouflaged in suits and ties.     We perish so greatly, fully aflame, to participate—smiling.     I’m falling this place, to dig for escape, to see multiple curses; for the exit of one—raises for another, where one may return.     It’s the deepest secret, to exercise dearly, to guard the vest-cave; where forces leap, ever to reside, unless a fever—even assistance.        

Sonnet IV

    If I was Pablo in a feeling, I would assert love, I would cry fever—one begonia, three dreams.  If I was Neruda in my emotion, I would e...
