Broken Lights

It’s a terrible image, that beautiful woman, this internal firefly; to strike insecurities, to wander through love, to embrace a touch of pain; this marvelous swan, so young to heart, as seeing vaguely; that ambiguity, streaming through poets, to remember a cygnet; that past-life, struck by gold, to imagine a green-eyed dove; this formidable woman, a bit for ignorant, a horse at mourning. I climbed a castle, to scream at God, for something a misperception; as not for excuses, but more realities, seething a contorted countenance; while Love brewed—this stew of warmth, to witness a psychotic man. I know a psych, as glory those years, to perform a sophisticated rant; as broken in parts, to meet with waves, as knowing how to conduct; those terrible secrets, to touch this inner person, while fully intoxicated; as not with liquor, but more with spirit, dying to reach a vacant soul. I love with purpose, to know your face, a bit terrified to confess—this chase of honor, this wealth of prose, this black paradise; where people watch, as to assess your soul, while jealous a touch of never endings; this place of tears, to realize truths, as a woman to loathe your father’s guts; for more that shame, as to see imperfection, this want to sex a perfect spirit; where tales are told, those buds of bark, to witness a branch as forming. I saw a crow, this harbinger of death, to follow this soul city-bound. We enchanted phantoms, this woman to see, bending to read a tattoo. I’m lost for prose, seeking a new journey, for I forsook a falling scar; to see your aura, painted in portraits, streaming Beethoven’s Fifth; this inner heart-throb, that lawn filled with gnomes, this winter as cold through heat; to see your face, sketched a daughter’s light, to realize, I worry! It takes for time, to divest a thorn, where you should have soarred: that psychotic man, broken in selves, to appear at your doorstep; where flies swarmed, as to confuse Confucius, this Asian exploratory. I know for pain, this repeated event, as reading through Brownings; where love is rich, as times are hard, while to perform as warriors. I must to shift, before saying too much, this thing we wrestle with: that furious poetess; that fervid feminist; that man a bit chauvinistic; to see it in parts, this uttered Kierkegaard, while praising his writings; to see imbalance, this world of foes, where women posed as men.  I love us more, as to feel instead, this woe of loveliness; these margins of fairs, that sometime thump, a bit enchanted.

By language we speak to audibility and coherence. To compose to feel understood, in spite of language applied. A person spends years misunde...
