Heedless Decay

April 20, 2014

A miserable ringing Pierces savagely An awful throbbing That catapults the sullen frame A child of excess Begrudgingly ascends With mangy locks And eyes fastened shut Agony proclaims Echoing, through Sunday’s embrace Where the morning sun pries Peering at heedless decay The slurring wreckage Unnerved by the swerve of day The ocean of turmoil We…

The Grey of Former Years

April 19, 2014

Brisk cold ballads Emerge from the tranquil dark From the mourning silhouette That’s stirs and toils in silence Melodies resurface And tenderly reflect Upon the vast and sullen shade The grey of former years Bitterly and brash They pierce the veil of skin Past labyrinthine flesh To streams of boiling anguish Behind solace The eerie…

She Thoughtfully Evades

April 17, 2014

More than I’ll ever need Far more than I can sustain She’s evaded the iron clasp of my youth The trove of sweet-nothings I’ve toiled over in secret Each moment I delve That trails on endlessly Far out of reach In an ominous refrain Of how, where and when I empty the troves Hastily, bereft…

Before the Day’s Growing Fury

April 16, 2014

I resurface unhinged From the frigid binds of regret The surreal twirl of remorse That plagues every moment of rest Well before The day’s primal glimmer Where the headlights flare Upon the frost-tinted windows I’ve arrived With nerves set a quiver Awakened by the scourge Of pitiless dark As the flash and flare Carefully graze…

Sleep

April 16, 2014

How far must I journey Through the careless spiral of years Until I bear, but skin and bone? Until a stern chill Conquers my powdery remnants? When nothing more is uttered In the flawless sheen of eternity Defer, full and content Unscathed, untroubled By a clean and painless escape The offerings I reap Are but…

Celestial Heirlooms

April 15, 2014

Celestial heirlooms Are a faithful glimmer Far from the havoc Of our careless reach The nightly ghouls Fixed in time Peer stoically From the cold refuge of dark I fawn hopelessly Driven mad with hunger For the extent of their majesty To cleave a romance Known by too few Soaring without effort Untouched and drained…

A Mural of Havoc

April 13, 2014

The scowl of nightmares Paint a mural of havoc Across desolate ceilings That mirror inner panic They expand from above Scaling down in streams of black Growing in fortitude As they drown The flicker of windowpanes From running streaks They conspire to coil To ensnare my rest To strangle my passionate resolve The pulse of…

Dust Bowl

April 13, 2014

Humbled in stature Bare and bereft As the morrow lurks A towering menace Barren thoughts Are an easy conquest Among the uprooted Once firmly planted hopes They sprawl no more With color or flare Far from reverence As dried bundles of grey Lush soil Is an eroding secret Swiftly taken From the tamest voice

It’s Been a While

April 13, 2014

Destined to evade Each troubling glance I’ll weave through this earth Unhinged for all time I’ll plot every word Each wavering step i take As the cries of fellowship Smother me with remorse They call out sternly To a silent unknown Where I tussle with fear Overrun by searing regret For the misty struggle They…

The Life and Times of Clouded Minds

April 12, 2014

Life and times Of the starved and striving Earnest fools Who deplore the art of thriving They care not For the honest fields The finely tuned pastures And the promise they yield From upturned squalor They stalk the opportune Propelled by high hopes And a proud, joyous tune Life and times Of the boastful and…
