In The Dark Fortnight

Let us journey, that forbidden island, fraught by pagan rites; this anti anitya, fashioned in purple eyes, as turquoise electricity. Let us perish, this gothic light, as soon befriended darkness: this frantic kiss, pleading to open eyes, this lady as half a body; as dancing by woes, this time for joys, accustomed to mystic rubies. We love at peace, unbeknownst our dreams, severed by something feverish: those sodden bones, scribing at marrow, while daughters seek at bandages: this wall of sanctuary, that yoke of silence, those nets relieved by presence; to have for passion, this christic enchant, waving as volts puncture; to merge with ghosts, this flickering shadow, appeased by tears that ocean; as heart to harts, fleeing this forest, stranded at our bitterness for pains: that piano sickness; that jazz by fears; those waves as violins wail. I’m sick by thoughts, at peace with emptiness, bathing this solemn mourning; to have adventure, where kisses were jaded, as now a high school student; this breaking of violence, that saturation, pleading for crying that mercy: this fatal appeal; that winter captivity; that tree weeping in silence; to know a friend, this sharing of venom, as to suggest that both are normal. I float that maze, dizzy from thinking, at days with emptiness. I must confess, where all is consciousness, this inner negotiation; as dying with time, growing into monks, filmed by solitary lakes: that vest of actions, seated in nonchalance, where a turn morphs into angers: that chiseled silence, a star to young eyes, while carrying a tsunami: that place of deaths, our needs for favors, while returning flames; that gravid lot, those indelible wounds, this place at hearts as seafaring; where truths are dormant, as living this truth—addicted in time to that shift; where nights would pass, thrust through by volts, while absorbed in melancholy: this fist of fire, at fevers to breathe, while deep that last inhalation. I must confess, this deep admiration, for one gifted with spirits; to shun negation, as retrieving nature, this tube being pumped with helium: that heart of eyes, peering for seeing broken, while hells drag souls astray: it all shall pass, this light of poisons, digging into naivety: that sordid cry—a torrent moon, this emblem of kismet; as dying to live, while mazing through intimacies, aloof but standing so near; that vital tour, alive that last beat, where love arose suddenly.     

Strumming a Harp

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