Petals Growing


I’m with need to live, as cased in marbles—this messy life; while serpents circle, so deep within, but shadows of perfection. I live it torn, filled with feelings, as pruning a sun-fire; this majesty born, as to drill our souls, pushing through this inner chasm. There’s a Persian rug, this inner domain, a series of souls kneeling in prayer; to render pastel grays, plus, plum filled pains, this lump plaguing his soul. I feel exhausted, as a cycle churns, even a simile of rain; to die to live, as living to fly, if only to master that feeling; as to finally flee, a sea of monsters, this inward reflection; for the war is self, this topaz scar, those sapphire eyes: staring while mourning, or clenching while grieving, as a testament to destruction. I’m sipping while typing, this turquoise twilight, attempting to monitor each thought; this subconscious self, in need of intimacy—the puce of this scream; as mourning blood, this gothic gravel, as shadowed in deep torment; this skyward fount, the heartstrings of motion, hoping to feel our firebrand; as caved within, this skeptic of dreams, this cynic of graves; as pushing pages, this outward stoic, an eyelet of shame; to know for certain, this inward dwelling, this spiral of corralled webs; as too, this blasé feeling, to have for granted, this luscious passion; as feeling so beige, a banquet of intensities, as to render oneself mute. I’ve cried at nightfall, plastered in iron-grays, at war with insistence; to dine with love, as a friend of his war, at core a stranger to self. We perish—immortal pain, as stressed beyond attentions;—struggling this neural volt, this sublime airwave, as captured in this flux; to feel for fixed, this inner division, as pulled at internally. We can’t but breathe, ensouled by chaos, as soulfelt as a sudden explosion; that inward dream, as giving life, as bold as love.
