The Inner Person, As Distinct To Itself


It screams in silence, an active imagination, where the forbidden consents to tandem and madness, rapture and skulls, beaming through human affliction. We seek control, layered in intimacies, grounded in a series of torments, as to have this mind, this cauldron of thoughts, this inner credenza. Our armoires are bleeding, this code of cloths, as mesmerized by camouflage, this veil of fools, peeking as to see, this level of insanity. We’ve died our plights, this inner turmoil, attempting to converse with silence, while hell ruptures, as senses grieve, that closer to a first kiss; to love as matrimony, this elusive force, as evident as blinking eyes, to ride on high, the slopes of nevermore, a bit too threaded for green; this nonchalance, captured by fires, where a voice spoke of tiles and tears, of hearts and blood, as this cello is resounding madness; the agony of music, to crave this soul, this reflection perishing through mirrors, to have this death, strangled in barbwire, our bones dancing to energies; as blended in spirits, this bashful mixture, as bold as a fool’s curse, to see for mother, this well of purgatory, as to imagine her fate. It screams in silence, this present aggravation, this inner fluster, as precious as china,—and seeing this face, while features morph into something demonic, this twofold dimension, where spirits mingle is torment. We speak of knowledge, this experiential closeness, revving through cages, as to find for blockage, this entrance of minds, while ignoring this screaming veil. Our chattered souls muffled through noises, embellished in fuchsia visions,—as walls bleed purple, and red drizzles as rain, while wolves devour scenery, to flood our souls, with the flesh of scars, buried ten tiers beneath the brain. It’s a reaming journey, to paddle through marsh, hopeful upon a mayfly,—while something churns, to stir this fury, at a distance from speaking plainly.
