Upon a Sky-drop


I loved your eyes, leaping as membrance, this space of visions; to pace this tunnel, peering at bright lights, severed at souls; this deep inflection, speaking at walls, this sight distorted. I watch a dove, seated in turmoil—this mother a well of confusion; but this is life, our grave misfortunes, while deception feigns control. We live in darkness, this spirit-design, as to defuse deep insights; this kernel of facts, a bit subjective, where laws correlate with affections; that space of hearts, channeled as to fly—this swan a legacy; where hell is vicious—this mother to son, as to induce a mansion; that faraway zone, this desert of fools, trekking as to see mirages; that place of torture, to arise as monsters, as to appeal to a goddess. I break to rise, infused with words, as to mitigate affections; this inner war, courted by professors, this source of endless betrayal; as not for hurt, but more for motive, something distant from altruism. It shouldn’t be life, while glaring at love, this actress a form of angst; that inner charm, that vixen of soul, as aloof as our powerful swords; to venture this mission, in touch with forgiveness—this woman a product of lies. I sip through a.m., to arise at p.m., this villain a thread of theology; to sing about mischief, this brave advance—this woman peering into souls. Our crave is ink, this locket in dreams, while fuses inflect an ocean; this space of tears, as longing for adventure, this someone to rescue a blank sheet. It becomes eczema, this constant dryness, where flesh inflames—while hearts simmer, thrusting volts—this place of returns. I need a raft—these heinous slopes—our waves channeling omens; to see for actions, this passion of fools, drooling as nearly comatose. It couldn’t be love, this feral adventure, that moment embedded in observation; where dolphins sing, this thing of swans, as to remember this fatal song; whereto, is fiction, this theater of woes—this place soaring in Shakespeare. I could but fly, through weary wings, while circling this cygnet star; but this is misery, that instant grace, our souls a countenance of passions; to flee existence, those years of thought, as something foreign upon return; but this is breath, this inside flesh, alert to follies.
