So many Years/So many Rooms
Oh for mercy—this terrible feature, as terrifying as egregious; where
eyes infuse, buried in nuance, peering for seeing this travesty: our crying
hearts, longing eternal, to find for shelter that terror; as sighted winds, or
frigid wings, gazing at love—immortal; that silent song, as melic as meters,
captured—adrift through graves. We die this way, a caveat for souls, where
aches fail to instruct: this furious estate, sanctioned in traumas, this
grieving by way those joys; wherefrom, our souls, trekking plush deserts—some
type of miracle this breath; to seek by goals, that fabulous dream,
seated—sipping a tepid reality; to want infusion, this room of walls, as
terrorizing sanity; whereat, is unknown, this place of virtues, that sighted
self at seconds. Oh for mercy, this
indebted force, steeping through marshy islands: this plush insanity, as kept a
secret, where keen eyes trespass our legacies: this immortal maze, gazing at
promise—this daughter as seed of prophets; where hell would rise, this bulb of
mania—so many years at distance; this close proximity, while never to trust,
for this is fatal breach; to admire kindly, this thing of growth, while never
to dine at Denny’s. Let us rise, graphed
in tendencies, inclined to fly; while reaching brains, this morbid enclave,
peering at dungeons; to love a swan, seeping into music, our symbols as signs:
this frail reality, at breakage through words, these things built through
fancy; to swear by heart, this thing of woes, to invest but a moment in thoughts. Let us fly, stationed at
streams, while forbidden to speak; this deep incision, by marrow to bone, alive
that instance of sacrifice; where demons mock, while psychs hold court, this
forte of dementia. Let us prophesy,
stranded at mercy, our knees as humble as trembles: this broken fuse, our
wounds as souls—this transmigration—as seated mystics, aflame our daughters,
thankful for that one bliss—while living this voice, whereat, that star—our
cherished motivations; to find that force, dragging our mornings, to chirp up
by waves this adrenaline; that rush through time, those midnight shores, this
urban legend; where mothers sing, filled with envies, to arise more a
sophisticated warrior. It took for rooms, staring at thoughts, to mold such
features. It took for years, at practice that death, to scold such folly; this
soul of miracles, those tears of clowns, that dying magician—this inner
carnival, striking through meadows, a rose to arise that death; where life was
lived, this fretted beauty, as knowing days must invert: our furious rooms, our
featured mirrors, our nights at vomit to achieve; but let us breathe, that
thump of hearts, a bit too blessed to fail.
