Ghetto Socialites

I lost dreams and screams so tender such deathless coyotes; to forgive his smile, to die his lake, at arms and drones abused; hell-hounds chasing those eyes watery while hovering over a sewer; to read his glands, to perish his flux, while needing something invisible; this harsh weather at base our concern so electric our arc—to flourish battles, to grit with flames, at daughter a refugee; so powerful those grains, a seed planted in concrete traffic, abased and damaged again; those flowers whispering this grave of dynamite our treacherous wild life; those gates and bars and staring dragons with fire glares; to creep his path, seated he was, a full pledged maniac; our brief moments, running through deserts, a cactus as a friend; rebooted and set free, arguing against his image, or pretending that something for riches would obey a minor tinge; so half way there or wholeness for rent while Agony was so glorious; our aches to find you, those loses in you, to find that Love was purposely hidden; abashed or ruined, studying life scars, abreast of something in our atmosphere; grown man love, irremovable friendships, so dire an excuse filled with empires; our minds needing Jesus, our days stalemated, where chess seemed so essential; this gut fever, this mini-that, while armor knew his longevity; to pump for reasons, so unbeknownst to us, while one was winning with leprechauns; this mentality is blood diamonds, this child I once fed, or this mother those eyes so amazingly; as never aware where temperaments clash and giving becomes a reason to receive; to tragic pains, our ruthless threads, at fences gripping and looking upon High; to adore in you, to want something unreal, to collapse, sing souls, and such remorse for loving; this chilled spicier, those tarsier hawkers, so into something living; to usurp a castle those rooms demonized our souls awakening so suddenly; where Love was out of her park and Love didn’t care, asking, Do you still love me?

I was hit with apathy laced in miracles those few weeks so marvelous; to re-juice in torrents where oceans speak rivers as again so captured by malaise; those legs at me those tears meaning more while one was forced to tackle family; those gigantic hopes for one so unreal but Love adored hurting herself; such aches and moans and groaning for a man that couldn’t relate; this new age adornment, this part-time love affair, where another man is dying for loyalties; our cut trees our trimmed seas or so gone a man petting a tigress; at days laughing while realizing such laughs to retreat into this hard won indifference; an awkward feeling, a dark reality, while feeling normal; a splinter that linchpin, a miracle our union, while both have drifted into something dangerous; those sharks and aggression, this life where they do not care, and battles with this elusive mirror; so at waves, or coursing through longer roads, while a rose just blossomed from concrete; so adored those songs, so banished for disobedience, while love means one must submit; this furious fire, this frank disrespect, at detriments and feeling deceitful. Our arks floating, our doves returning, but sudden to abandon ship; so realized in this, if but to give love, this thing becoming this gambit; as never again, this enduring love, but evermore this dependent love; our souls as spacecrafts, our hearts fleeing, while so inclined towards nostalgia; those years building this immortal selection where we fret prior to our calamity; our souls so lonely, our bodies entertained, while writing if but those freedom chains; accursed for diligence, needing something forgetting itself, as one determined to die in us; our violin strings, our mandolin boards, or soft at piano—those rough wranglers, those rougher eyes, or such beauty a man reneges upon his hatred; accustomed in us, relived in demons, while so perfect he had to ruin it; our pavement ideals, our realized incompletions, where Love would have hell to pay; so inclined to river in us as crazed and abused in us and running back to our ghettoes, trust!          

All are Braving the Future

    If I may tell it, sore disquieted, greeting memories. Such soul-iniquity, grinding through havens, begging those last three dimensions. ...
