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?!

Enticement at the Wasteland

Enticement at the Wasteland

An angel's opus accompany me,
As my mind cradle past to present.
Ravens hover around me;
Circling my almost rigor flesh,
Eyeing my yielding heart.
Their gaze: piercing,
Even through my frail frame.
The desert sun: it blinds my chimera!
The desert sands: it robes my bare body!
Rabid coyotes: laughing!
Amongst themselves; skirmishing,
As to whom obtain the lion share of me.
I thirst for a drop of unfiltered truth.
Then a serpent came slithering,
Offering a drink,
To douse my crippling thirst.
Like a spout from its fang,
Glistening liquor: it coaxed!
The lure of that liquid vile,
Venomous as it may
Manifestly seem.
Masked itself in a saccharine placebo;
Making the offer more tempting,
Blindly more enticing!
A bargain was struck,
A covenant was made,
And a soul was traded.
Amid a parched gullet
I lay in the barren sands,
Orifice opened: awaiting absolution!
The malevolent snake it took mercy.
Then drops of noxious ambrosia,
Filled my whole being!
The dilute pushed through my veins,
Then pass my wits...
My soul subsequently!
All faded to black!
Memories no more!
The angel's interlude,
Befell into banshee shrieks;
Their incoherent eloquence,
Their melody of obscurity,
I inaudibly deciphered!
The once fuming desolate:
I laid my head on,
Altered to this verdant Eden.
The Ravens: a catalyst for butterflies!
The Coyotes: Apostles twelve!
The Serpent: My Eve! My Magdalene!
My errant persuasion: My only absolution!
Eyes before wide shut,
Now, no more cryptic visions!
...For my thirst: Will forever be my Cross!
Mine alone to bear!
