Travesty That Song

That inner space—your topaz eyes, abusing calmness; as strict demands, to conjure a ghost, this inveterate insecurity; to fly by wings, as torn as onions, to weep, whine and cry. I love a flower, wilting come summer, where winter devastated petals; this mystic mile, while craving love, this peril’s intuition. I danced at dawn, that twilight fever, as ferocious as near enchantment. I loved a song, this glorious woman, as your eyes refused love. We died a fraction, this match to gasoline, as but one night of tortures; as cried this love, embedded in shallowness, to expect more for nakedness; this missing arrow, to abuse cupid, while terrorized by gestures. I loved an ache, where Christ was born—this travesty of warfare; as meant to perish, trekking desert-storms, afraid that love might inflate. It had to live life—this feral passion, a bit unsung to Tao; where sable is brown, while malaise is darkened, to move by motion—this pain. We loved an image, filtered through illusions, while love broke a mansion; where dice were slung, to pause a lucky seven, as built in moments that kiss; as cried our nights, seated at swings—staring at raving tides; that to and fro, that ebb and song, those crabs clawing into sands; while meant to die, as meant to live, this paradox unraveling sins. I tried to love, beyond measure this life, where hell focused on wisdom; that terrible admission, whereto, was sorrow, this thing pushing into realities. I called a ghost, as to touch a heart, where response was instantaneous; while love lingered—this treasured denial, as to, this vicious admittance; where clocks were screaming, as time stood in motion, to realize our sun was falling: this wicked grave, as gothic as something dark, to pave a sentence while shivering. I loved a flame, while flickering in ice, as to melt a glacier: this terrible song, a fraction of love, where Love ponders as deranged. I’m staring at pictures, this minute’s escape, to fathom this thing of beauty; where psychs would cry, to feel that pain, a bit distorted concerning life: this fabulous cycle, as steaming through boats—this arc flooring our inhibitions; where love was real, a second detached, to awaken in foreign arms. I’ve cried too much, concerning this vagueness, where harvest is ripe for abandonment—as always is, this deep unction, while running from hallway mirrors—where love is gray, as so is life, to pyramid a station of bluebirds; that casual sin, embedded in brains, where life would have us guilty. I imagine this sin, as fully a soldier, trekking forbidden gardens; to die once again, at arms with love, to return a peasant at souls: this furious passage; this inner mayfly; this Christian hypocrite; as not for pain, but more this song, to crave forever a lost organ.
