Fountain of Deserts
We’ve become rumors, our patient arcs, stressed for winds; or more
impatient, that search for deference, as never it came; this wilderness fire,
our tents splayed, our logs with palmerworms; while time mocks, this instrument
of chaos, our joys fabricated. It becomes rain, this welkin hell, this hellish
heaven; to lie so boldly, as cold as glaciers, while seeking authenticity: our
bleeding arcs; our cadence at war; that anger confounding justice. I saw as sighted, this strange behavior, this
coy by deception—to ruin his heart, this glee for wrongdoing, this angle that
smiled; as more a soul, at love for humans, as dependent there for comforts:
that tragic star, by deserts that dirge, at aches to avoid healing: as more to
shifting, our weekly rebounds, as honest as a pitted serpent. We run risks,
offending beauty—those beige eyes—as sore to pains, pleading
acceptance—examined from such a distance; to cringe our mantle, at converse
with spirits, while mirrors mourn our legacy; to churn so gently, our shoulders
crying, at madness this whiff of tragedy.
I shift to silence, this treasure of rainbows, in which, but visions our
passion; to crave remorse, as rooted in heinous words, while such cut through
bone to marrow. We live this way, our contradictions, this clash of
realities—seeking musicality, adrift a blue bar, staring at candent iron; this
winded soul, at tears forever, this inner Ein Gedi—as such to gorgeous,
plighted as currents, our travesties singing opera: if but our woes, painted as
murals, our faces screaming at silence: if but that journey, weathered by
actions, addressed by terrors our waterfalls.
I lamented love—that moment as bodies—that second as intense; to cry
that lightning, as once consumed, while sunk in secrets; to nurture sorrow, as
time and again, trekking through shrubberies—to feel such glory, embedded in
chaos, while flitting our mystic horror: if days are healing, this ache of
treasures, as forging such miracles! We
sail majestic, this dearth of
purities, as one guilty by mirrors; to scream, mesto, pictured as beautiful, where miseries become outspoken: if
but our souls, in accord with paradise—our hearts struggling with darkness:
that kiss of dynasties, that fever of kingdoms, this appeal by stature; to live
such love, as frightened such love, while treading this mid-ocean ridge; as
such to sulfur, this channeled agony—those peppered ways.
