A Minute Fast...A Minute Past

A Minute Fast...A Minute Past

I flicked a matchstick on a crisp, cold early morn'.
Like a mesmerized moth I stood in awe
As I gazed and played with the minute inferno.
Then I lit my diminutive nicotine nightstick.
Clouds of grey escaped from within me,
Like an angel's lengthy tresses;
I watched the smoke and my misery
Sway adrift with the sinuous breeze.
Letting my melancholies all glimmer away.
Nostalgic slideshow: paused!
I then savored the flavor nesting on my lips,
'Twas an all familiar tang.
Drops of heavenly tears sat leisurely on a fortified table.
My goblet of 'deja brew' seemed to battle the divine damp.
The auburn liquor's warmth kissed the dews.
Then the pearly mists having been briefly romanced
Transcended to seventh heaven.
The irony of a tobacco and a brewed coffee bean
Aided me as I nursed, yet another hangover;
Yet another fuckin' overshadow!
Like a leaf trembling from a tree;
I parked myself, unfazed by my cranial pain.
The uninvited wind breezed by my way, yet again.
Along with it...An ephemeral muse!
Oh! Sweet Rose, that you are; come and ensnare me!
Incarcerate me in your euphoric embrace!
With your destined thorns;
Soil my fingertips with puddles of crimson!
Valve into my subliminal heartaches!
Pierce into the blackest zenith of my grey matter!
Permit me! To again fall witness to the infinite battle
Between the merry sun and the sinister clouds.
Like bamboo chimes,
Inspiration then played a symphony!
An overture long-awaited amidst a lengthy lingering.
Revelations seemed to realize Genesis.
Blank canvasses: now enthrall me,
Like the flickering of my matchstick.
Palettes and horse hairs: exhausted!
Hues and toxic turpentine: then intertwined!
Words smith into lines and curves.
Quill and parchment: bleeded!
Unearthed clay, now in eminence amonst grand marbles.
My transient muse, again, I thank and bid farewell!
For just as she fluttered by so fast,
Hitching onto the swift shift of the pendulum.
Also, promptly, she plunged amongst
The rapid waning sands of the hourglass,
Equally just as hasty!
Oh, Sweet Rose, Adieu!
The Chronos, I proverbially curse!
For a minute had past...
And "YOU" left so God damn fast!
Yet again, another Cosmic Fuckin' Paradox?!
