Meet, Mr. Elmo Pathos
Meet, Mr. Elmo Pathos
familiar with an orthodox, of guilt-ridden wretched surrender
formation and deformation of reality and fantasy
decline resonates within the calamity of Eros
there was the cold wind
like a woman speaking
her frosty breathing seen years before
breath dressed in azure mists
psychotherapy sprinkled on her personality
a scenario beyond
the hazard of intimate disillusionment
pain leaks through her laughter
feelings fear exposure of sorrows
the three words unspoken
they were not to be believed
love, loss, and longing
they a had meeting
to discuss his fate
of course, he was late
fait a compli
a nauseous association with humanity
reticence and routine
dreams trail off into cloudy abstractions
do you do your exploration after dark
do you ever miss the mark
and often do it night after night
well, it felt pretty nice to write
even if you have no need to read
talk about abstract language
in reality he is only a lonely man
making mythologies through
the illusiveness of substance
do you understand her
Elmo, do you understand any of them
Elmo, do you understand anything
their words make no difference, for wish fulfillment
as amateur perception allows
speak to wonder remembered
in the stinginess of syllables
innocent in a world unplugged
he who is unknown and is not here never meets the him that is known
fait a compli
Dylan,
Been there, done that. Amazing how complexed words sets the pace of lonliness in the night, keeping one at wonder of what may have been is not reality. Thanks for sharing. It is difficult for me to express words that you have penned so properly. Thanks for sharing. Linda
