negotiate a connection
Folder:
Hyacinth garden
see the bejeweled sky above the provoked city
the stars are razor-sharp as gems momentarily
to end breathlessly and vanquished
that weary sound crushed my scorched lips
the stars heat envelopes me they are witnesses to my plight
disappointed with illusions opened to my sight
as I close my eyes to old proprieties
unshielded they glare back at me
without solace they rob my senses from secrecy
giant whispers roam through my insides
I interpret twists of fate
my mind opens to lessons not yet learned
fumes of hot scents entice innocuous poems
they melt within me a cascade of bewildered weakness
where did the good dreams go?
when I dreamed
of cool sanctuaries
tropical islands
oceans of emerald
teeming with life
not these long dark nights
avalanches of crumbled dreams at my feet
I never knew I had emotions
can I make them vanish?
they shadow me from time to time . . .
directions to rash conclusions and convulsive rest
I have already seen my energy become powerless
inexplicable dreams invaded by amber flashes
images ensconce my energid
for me beneath my lids
tired of investigation
of tallies without guidance
me and my travail within stardust
follow my travels in comets’ tails
significant in heights to the edge
while I negotiate a connection to heaven
