Open The Draperies, Inform The Cradles

We can’t fathom attitudes, the texture or flavor, gnawing at reflections; parted by rains, a parachute as foe—[one painting such friendship]. We pursue kindness, a taste of naivety, this credulous invention; motivated timely, as threshed wisely, failing to cultivate the dots. We abuse purity, as a tinge of infection, as something we must deflate. Its face is love; its portrait is venom; we indulge without seeing it; for love is measured, the petals of roses, where details remain camouflaged; as if to see you, would obliterate love—this trestle nigh to tip-over.

We see this thing, this gloomy fever, as trespassing, or permeating, an inner calm; where demons roam, the vast of fields, stripped of love, shocked—this fatal remission; as time passes, while something grieves, this thing beyond perception; as to guess, pulled by forces, a mirror veiled by senses; this terrible joy, this sorrowful bliss, this magnificent hell!

We couldn’t find you, this three part series—as believing in you; the soil for branches or the foam for seas that further embedded in patience; as crying your aura, enlove with agony, as to retreat from dignity: this inner wave, this stapled horizon—your eyes but a portal of pains; these ghostly charms, at war with brains, wailing in contrition—this dear affliction, this tide of blackmail, but seasoned for this lesson; to love the armless, as to knit ligaments, with this love for control.

We aim for clarity—while many suffer, searching for reaching, while reaching for searching—this maze of events, this perfect doll, as to speak when spoken to. This couldn’t be life, this willing of power, as to take from life; this measure of wheat, or broken scales, or a fevered smile.
