Velvet Carpet Souls
We
live through filters, enhanced through knowledge, this grace by mercy that
soul; to die so casually, as to visit spirits, this thing concerning liquor; as
much to cherish, this welkin sword, at tears, to hear your name; while forever
free, chained to sadness, this temperament that chase. It had to see us, while
alive that moment, to witness that shifting; those fragile feelings, that
ruined dream, that confronting reality; to die your heart, thrust through at
nights, those seconds to court peace; this inner soul, that outer spell, this
sprinkle by mists that feeling; albeit, time, this elusive blur, this
instinctive walk—as becoming but fractions, this self to vet, at woes, to see
reflections; this catch by sea, that monster’s metaphor, this segment that part
that scream. We heard through passion, this wretched land, to arrive by sudden
those points; to unlatch souls, this trough of secrets, at thoughts, so deep,
that island. It could to live us, this thing of freewill, determined towards
autonomies; this freezer by arts, that warmth by portraits, those fretted
colors; to sing for blues, those joys of jazz, peering at pop-culture; to know
for love, this inanimate thing, wrestling by inner forces. I’m with needs to
live, soaring through sentences, at chains, this meadow, your brains; to
breathe through stems, those gates as journeys, alive but torn that virtue;
where demons are thoughts, plaguing cultures, this breakage through realities;
as charged this soul, this mystic chaos, that disorder by angst his orders;
where hells linger, this subtle distinction, as to figure this space of minds;
as overwhelmed, peering at subtleties, this woman, her light, a fire. It could
be life, those series of powers, where spirits excel; while left to musings, to
dig for deeper, to extract subjective truths; as purposed as pillars, those
flames betwixt energies, to fly at tempers this sword. I met a force—our
blemish as rhythmic, why to fathom we couldn’t see; where sights were vivid,
this percent of brains, as searching for Christ’s mind; to have troubled such
caves, this order by chaos, as explored this solitude; where arts are valued,
to ask for prayer, this torture by layers our joys. It had to drill life, as
pushing powers, while confessing our blues; this fiction as real, that myth as
facts, this courage we take to fly.
