I Wonder if our Songs are the Same

I don’t claim martyr, this esteemed position, as to wonder of such faith: I claim eternity, this man addressed as spirit, professed to self as motion: those darkened nights, seated at a psych’s words, ashamed of multiple bars; as breathing deeply, those silver shadows, amazed at time’s pardon; to drift through billows, accustomed to horizons, to wonder of such our needs; to have that friend, as singing sorrows, while adjusted through joys; this miracle current, as searching for deeper, to have a Swan’s Song—this rich melancholy, as sweet by nectar, to perform through fires—as sung through bleeding days, this wave of souls, to have such feelings through one life. I know of loses, this music as mellow, as to address humanity—this existential, while musing through Camus, as adrift this portal of fires; that pure lament, as seeking solace, to reach by chance that invisible hand; as taking a risk, that prone disappearance, where vessels are participating at life: that mirror’s piano, accustomed to violins, as one flutes forth pure poetry; those Country Songs, or more this New Age, falling into something beyond definition; as reading martyrs, or praising life, at sores this hearted confliction: this wealth of woes, as fiery joys, as read this deep contradiction: our paradox sung, abating illusions, at pleasures to feel this connection. I claim eternity, this loud whisper, addressed in segments of existence; that frantic timbal, our duet quartet, while strumming this locket; to unlock trumpets, this beating brain, an opus fraught by angst; where swans ingest, this arc of symphonies, fingers gripped through fences; as watching our story, this pleated sky, alert to timbre as waves: this remarkable song, as pure fires, buffing rusted mirrors that blur: this art of times, as seismic joy, a bit sombre concerning realities. I don’t claim martyr, this fugue of existence, while near that cliff as gripping soil; that pensive sadness, while spreading infusions, as born prior to those carnal blessings. I reappear, this mortal spirit, as sunk into this spirit mortal; to sense this likeness, as pledged percentages, to wonder of atmospheres; this old mockery, as forgetting oneness, where Godhead is seated in humanity; as in through outs, or outs through ins, this creative play of semantics: where justice grieves, as grieving justice, while pigeons frolic yearning return: this silk as spun; this sore as silver; our texture a bit sad as sullen; but more to bliss, this rich attar, as charged to oil shrines; this orpine love, as melded in symbols, reaching for eyes within; those nova brains, pleased to enter eternity, spinning from ruts to flares; where humans listen, as sensing our souls, as promised our minds: this privilege wooing; those oaken nights; that love by grace an ontic flame. I don’t claim martyr, this noble disposition, this man at shares his turmoil; as soaring through lights, to render such passion, to see for good in our miry lakes; that inner lantern, while dripping oils, as still radiating light; to feel such flame, adrift a center of darkness, to grab said flame while searching: this welkin fever, this lotus dream, our lunar dispositions. I claim eternity, this joy pardoned by sorrows, affected through madness: to hold this palm, our wordless song, stippled for stitched in love; as pure paradox, while seated at bliss, this struggle born of mavens.
