Grandfather’s Clock


What nectar there is—to compassion’s faucet, as to receive that thing given!—to harness passions, floating through time and space, adrift this portal of lies. Our titles mourn us, while giving us life, a group of mortal peers; charged by fiction, as crazed as Don Quixote, as longed for as the Golden Age; to find this purpose, seasoned by offspring, enlightened by woes: this crying passion; this poet’s pen; that gratification that wanes: come night this jury, a gavel as justice, this subject as objective. We can’t escape it, this mourning reflection, to find ourselves—an image through glass; that vague appearance, this self of souls, catered to by egos; this velvet heart, in love with ideals, if so be the legacy; as opposed to impish, coning for the sake of cons, and baffled by disposition; as received by few, where others shun—that fragrance of styles; but more to love—this child of times, a bit too advanced; albeit, richly—this portal in time, alive through this vision of passions: this crying weather, this tearful joy, situated at a turnpike. I found us drifting, stationed in a maze, a thump as a reminder—of something grand, such inner intelligence, this force directing chi; but what for cadence, this rhythm of fuses, as stratified as mental pillars; to muse upon Life, as to define the unspoken voice, travelling through dimensions. I found us at odds, while perusing dislikes, to resist unto love; so much for caution, to learn it through error—this faculty present at war; while it couldn’t be real, such probing realities, to have enriched a segment of personalities: this starry soul, this somber sanity, as something sacred and seasoned. Such is this force, peering through clouded lenses, assuming identity through traumas; this delicate linchpin, that inner wave-beat—honored by few; but how to escape, that baggage of souls, that hydrant raging through thoughts?
