Reach Beyond Trespass

To imagine your face, pushing towards triumphs, a tongue as glib as moonshine; as to die in presence, the voice of falcons, as eager with a lion’s head; to want for coitus, this land of make-believe, this internal reality; where positions clash, for two as animals, that further from legitimacy.
We broke for laws, to feel this something, this invisible something; to carry such lies, where cuffs are immortal, a harp as a heartbeat; to flex something foreign, this woman as a jewel, this four-part attraction; as such deception, embodied in truths, as fatal as point-blank-range.
It’s a night of limos,
the richest champagne, infused by articulated words; this fall of moments, as grieved to perish,
to love in spite of losing; for oh this lose, as feral as orgasms, as heightened as a climate,
as fevered as sin; to know for flux, this lux of energy, to scream as to offend an office;
where words screech, while senses murmur—a body filled with vibrations.
It becomes a high, with palms drenched in myrrh—our colored matrimony; as to avoid values, as charmed by sycamore, as peering into flushing flesh.
It’s our bowels of love, as our nethermost regions—a silhouette of castles; to muscle attraction, our footprints upon clouds, our torrent devastating lives.
It became a song, dripping in hormones—the estrogen of emotions; as found in both, sorting through symbols, to live this magnificent lie:
our inners as vocals; our loins as children; our knots as geishas.
It’s oh so fulgent, this radiant chaos, where secrets have become myth; to smell for flavor, a household of gumbo, to fall and swivet into a climax.
We love it more, this nostalgic angst,
pretending our end has come; to suit for others, but a moment in passing, to reunite filled with heartache;
but we mustn’t perish, this bed of strangers—this Incredible Hulk;
if merely a thought, this garlic for vampires—our inner masquerades;
as deep an antenna, this voiceprint of senators, this thrust towards presidency; as living for turmoil, a fireside of passions, a trumpet as a last goodbye;
to know for guile, this trial of souls, as creating such folklore.     

Strumming a Harp

By language we speak to audibility and coherence. To compose to feel understood, in spite of language applied. A person spends years misunde...
