Merely A Teen

It gets that way, that feeling deadly, that deep attraction; to know her name, to perish that life, as musing a contour; to stream Jesus, as blessing her soul, to velvet conversation. It became his mind, stressed by shores, disgraced by islands; to mingle Greece, with pure Belize, pedal to concrete. I’m alive a notch, peering golden eyes, those tides his mirrors; as abused that life, floored to rugs, to stare that mood-swing—addicted to graves, to transform wisdom, a star by grandeur; this cold effect, that inner Bathsheba, too far my leap—as gone his reach, as gone those tears, this fabulous vixen; to gaze a city, looking for beauty, this manic as a menace. I’m hiding souls, this crowded room, floating through media screens—while screaming in silence, this vexing name, ashamed of this passion; where dogs bark, as cats meow, that rare to see us both—as partying fools, afloat through traffic, to force his hand. I wanted more, to side a different woman, as one that made love; where another sparked, to see her soul, a table of pills. I lost appeal, to win appeal, this woman through virtues; that deep secret, to know a version, while secure those facts—this evil mystery, to see her face, beaming intoxicants. It’s more a dream, to know that death, to yearn that womanly; as seen her soul, a line to brains, as wild as Canaanites—forever a scream, as sore as love, an ice-cube that space. I market more, this intense fire, fifty through a gutter-lane—as peering at love, laughter resounding mirrors, smoke seeping into fabric; this life as lived, to sober his mind, at ninety to swerve a freeway: this bold hostage, as acclaimed himself, pinning to carpet those dreams; to die a savage, as born a priest—this incarnation; while hearts bury, this furious fountain, aloof but more to love. I saw her, of a different league, as more I tried; to catch her in traffic, blaring Jackson, a coquettish laugh. I called a voice, tipsy at liquor, as bold as magicians—to cry her heart, to comment beauty, to live it in a soul-beat. Oh for days, as crazed as men, surfing by chance those legacies: our purest of beauties, to laugh our efforts, to give in through jest.  (It gets that way!)       

Effervescent Waters

  The maze of an interior thought. The gown upon emotion. Sun signs; moonlit. Feeling aged. With something looming. I wonder if aches are we...
