sonnet
a vision of darkness
shapeless plots that whirl and fall
twisted and incidental
lacking purpose
resolving distantly
but as a discordant melody
haunting the halls of private cells
a negative expression of everything
the profound confusion and dismay
as you slink through deserted alleyways
smelling of mold
and stale rain
the end of old ways
_______
nothings i nothing
nothings i nothing
butterfly in endless do of real bones
dead haze, dangerous don't
shrewd ocean agony waving
a curious blush
memories spiders know of
swallowed with the exploding new
and graceful black ladies whipping thru
thousands of half worlds.
now bird legs of practicality
question the bulletproof face
of prodigious destiny
in flocks
opposite shuddering
sometimes utterings
i saluted its unjust surveying
believed untruth,
ancient poison of drawn blues
king beyond bear
dawn is otherwise painted
my me no in lying joy
overpowering hilltops
hope unalive
by castle crawls the great sky
corpse caresses a flower
thru swooping forever
in fields of delightful nightmare
my branch in snow
the black veined dreams of madness
_______
(the head on)
the head on
twisted with margins
of their freeform
more to church aspirations
melody feeling
the right purpose
to perhaps english god
too spool
a weather essense often thread
second head
strangled like
laughter.
destitute dalmations
secret punches
oranges profound
manipulations against
the asleep sleep
to be.
canvas
gentle
in a withdrawn audience
sidewalks cave in
holding foul
silhouettes
at bay
and what's more they're all
navigating by dog.
_______
a could of happiness
but to tell me a could of happiness
sunlight comes out from under heavy cloud
<repeat>
_______
ghosts
i am half inclined to think
we are all ghosts
it is not only what we have
inherited from
our fathers and mothers
that exist again in us
but all sorts of old
dead ideas and
old dead beliefs
they are not actually alive
in us
but there they are
dormant all the same
and we can never be
rid of them
there must be ghosts
all over the world
they must be as countless as
the grains of the sands
it seems to me
it seems to me
that we are
all so miserably afraid
of the light
_______
kiss charms dying too
deluded of the delicate torment
quaint miserable
by the silly f friend
then paradoxical
kiss charms dying too
whether one dances
bliss to confusion to ball
the mind brewing steam
forever drives his ape to loft
kiss charms dying too
while we the and explain
their callow pink deny
poignant yellow shadows
support gloomy eloquences
feeling cat calm
of notion's circuits
kiss charms dying too
bloated violets
and lights astral guilt
skin a profound unwarranted chance
the frost candle shock
kiss charms dying too
but beware roses' portable dignities
and winter's desires
for the wall depends on sleep
to carry midnight freely
kiss charms dying too
martyrs i image
pretending cotton fantasies
reveal the soap bone
and achieve the freedom
of praising other's grief
cold upside down
cold upside down
against threadbare wrapt
kiss charms dying too
_______
fragments of the down
soft dancers that faraway laugh
have hands such as been almost silent
puddles of peeling symbols nothing spells
clouds desires
but you make fragments of the down
ever end and the dead passion's prank
remind free outstretched eyes of love
clouds desires
formless grave kick at falling never
drowns halflight in unreal spin
as we throbbing shrug green shadows off
clouds desires
_______
lying about peaches
lying about peaches
gets you nowhere
and brooding quietly
gathers dust
and lost reason to love
hold still
days not yet over
still blood to draw
and vengeance
equals regret
equals shame
spiraling uncontrollably
trivial
no credibility display
saltwater filth
saltwater filth
aggravated
misplaced
distanced from what it might mean
a new romance
perhaps though
we might stop
the madness and invite
cold agonies to bed
and vengeance
equals regret
equals shame
equals alone
and vengeance
equals regret
equals shame
equals alone
_______
unkissed cannot survive
between the angel not
came unlimited you
over teacups of my diseases
my might unaddressed
your delicious purple lost darkness
for those images all still
for revery wrapt in sand
almost and almost
to disdain solitude
haze of you
brings the lonely peach-soft me
to madness
morever blackened sleep
and depression dreams
of my crispness
blush rude apples
in curtains of despair
i was cruelest
i was cruelest
the dark vengeance
of all love leaving you
expresses the terrible mystery
unkissed cannot survive
_______
the capital i / being the ferocity
the capital i loves
that the feel self dreams
of space
but in replacing anymore
pain can't describe
the clever upturned cigarettes
shooting skyward
roxanna for longer and on rocks
and mothers against tumbling time
with ecstatic breath
reckoning freedom to be stillborn
its unmistakable decay
soft on young lips
/
being the ferocity
everything loses
hate falls sweet
on my miserable bones
