Wake to a new day. Acquiesce or fade away.
Don’t run for cover. Face into the other. Bear down.
Destined to war.
Let me sail you a ten.
“Move it outside”, she said.
Throwing motions my way. Love, we’ve got us a game.
Gone. Fall away photographs form then lapse.
Diffidence starting again. Send it sunward, spine me right and enable.
Alter inside. Famish desire. Circular soul and assuage.
Clearly someone sent you a sign through the age old, inspired designs hard won from long ago.
Ascending auroral. Balanced in disorder.
Full frontal forward. Poured into the oceans. Compound.
Rusted, untold.
Let me snag you away to the waters again. Let me show you something.
Don’t you want to jump in?
Dawn beats down on this head. Moving oceans of red.
Don’t you want to suspend lonely darkness again?
Fires inside us. Run forward. Come closer.
Send me a morning away. Let the animals come out through a narrow halo of stars.
Stay what you are.
When are you running away? Certain someone, spare me the time when you’re able.
Bodies we find in the way. Broadly defined then erased.
Inside, define the one who goes unknown.
Carry the burdens away. Circum-sun-up, set me right to the angles.
Stay where you are. Bend when it blows.
When are you flooding again? When are you flooding with warm waveforms?
Circle sum up. Sing me a song when you’re airborne.
Bodies that fly on the wind decide if either one of us will grow.

Earthbound
Swimming in a white sound
Standing, passive.
Centered in a static equivalence.
Severance rendering asunder.
Balanced, active.
Derivate a binate agreement
Of stepping stones.
Genuine designs resonating passion every time. Elating.
When you see the sun rise flash between your eyes.
Blessed Luminous Divide.
Ferrous. Circulate awareness.
Tessellations generating spiral coherence.
Planate. Balanced in a chiral symmetry.
Adoration mirrored in the constellations vast and far.
Don’t you ever wonder what makes you come undone?
And calls you under?
And on it goes.
Borderlined. A perspicacious mind knows that synthesized
Does not define the world that is in your eyes. Outside of compromise.
Forceful intervals fasten my soul inside a design.
The divine that is every seed inside the soil.
Building steadily in tidy arrangements. Tempered.
Iterate til light comes shining through the undergrowth.
Failure in disguise. Degraded when you misalign.
Dessicating. And you wonder why I fall on every word.
You turn better off worse when you linger off course.

Pareidolia

There, stands before us Desolate and Starless.
Faithful incited. Wayfaring unguided.
Say bye. Ignore it.
Why waste the time when you’re eroding
Slowly.
Graceful imparted. Peaceful disincarnate.
Same time tomorrow.
Find me consolidating audial flora.
Racing down the line. Careless undefined.
Pushed into a mold. Callously oversold into violence.
Once you’ve set it up toss it in the fire.
Words don’t say enough.
Can’t disown desires aching inside of ourselves.
This sated soul wets in the water.
This state is overrated.
Lost into the void. Defiantly redeployed.
Ulcerated voice. Chemically restored into vibrance.
Once you sell the soul. Might as well expire.
Watch it then become quite the insane asylum.
Breaking down.
Ghosts in your eyes. Unseen environs. Dancing in the fires. Blinking.
Thoughts in your mind. A sea of moments. Cresting down entirely. Clean.
Coasting the line I see the morning. Casting out upon us. Draping.
I stand outside and see no votive. Enraptured in the silent. Sacred.
Open your eyes and see the light.

Polywogs

Long gone places. Staring out oasis. Firewalled spaces. Terminal relations.
Patterns in water compounding in orders indivisible.
Violet fires burning on invisible.
Scattered stasis. Far flung destinations. Waterfalls, verticals, flowing down the line.
Skyward. High-wired. Compulsed to offer wild imbalance, inadmissible.
Fallowed. Clearly only offal. Damning ourselves.
Don’t work all day. We need you, stay.
Come see this face. Comfy and patient. Sacred.
Generation normalcy invasive. Serpentine friends of mine never not alright.
Powers awaiting in the wide awaken. Come home an individual.
Vibrant, forward facing, soaring to the pinnacle.
What’s in your way?
One fateful day we grew some legs, turned from the place, and walked away forever.
Feral faces, genuine amazing. Powerful chemicals turning on the lights.

East in Eight

Sail out a singular decision.
Pause, affirm, assume the form.
Settle what ails inside your heart.
Feign tomorrow. Instant sorrows.
This old world, forsaken. This old world, forlorn.
Guess you are mistaken.
Yes, you’ve been forewarnded.
Battles, old fashioned fallacies breaking apart.
Sallow, an angular incision.
Pulse, intuit all.
Flow over capillary calm.
First thing you oughta know, it’s unforgiving.
Next thing, you gotta go sauntering out.
Third thing is wonderful and unfamiliar.
Last thing, it all unfolds in consecrated time.
Rain dogs and whistles. Efficient, ambitious, and dangerous.
Outlandish, they’ve found us at random.
Fan down through the yarns.
Found out fully loaded.
Rainbows and sad winters in front of forth bottles.
Endangered. They’ve found us at random.
Drowned out through the noise.
Sound out, full-denoted.
Amid sighs, a sudden stunner.
A moot point you’re mulling over.
A disguise, a stale aroma.
A new time, a turn of order.
A smooth sail extending over
A new side, a scent of clover.
Fight back, descend and water
Forward, pull the centerline.
Zero the aimless indecision.
Force your worth into it all.
Follow whatever makes you whole.
Inside out is where you oughta know.
I am dancing on an alter. Often altered.
Februaries all too often bombed out.
Forty dollars in. Downward on.
I am fashioned out of endless laughter.
Dancing on a path that dissipates.

Soonish Sometime

Winter winds turn towards us. Winter too soon.
Bend to another. Bow to the ground.
Blissed out in amazement. I burst and silence sounds.
Full step and a stutter. Birds flying round.
First hand iterating. Source draw thee down.
Fold all the way around, encase me.
Once every body lost in me found
Grandstands in your writing.
Danced in renown.
All the words amount to resonation.
Embracing through disintergration.
Soonish, sometime.
Any day now, Sunshine.
Come now, hang around,
Sunshine
False step separating. Can’t stand it down.
Full circle engagement. Parched, run aground.
Storm swells liberating. Crushed, hallowed crown.
Flash down and renature.
Everybody started in the ground.
Water out for endless hours. Flower.
Flash forward.
Everybody out.

Burning in ultraviolet. Wondering this state of mind.
Barreling towards a demise.
Burdened through open eyes. Fettered to a paradigm furnished in old fashioned lies.
Dangling from a line.
And then some dark sits on the world
And doesn’t let you out.
Pantomimed.
Crashing all around. Undone.
Dawn and make it echo.
Never don’t you matter. I won’t let it.
Don’t bother.
Bend to the source of light. Rendering a stable mind.
Verdant, we all cat aside patterns you’ve contrived.
Stand out.
Dusk sets on a work that doesn’t make it happen. Calcified.
Days that come undone. Unsung.
Desparately inactive.
Furtive, overburdened, so subverted. Don’t you worry.
Fast and on the run just to make it happen. Friends of mine.
Tracks fan down my arms. Dancing down the roots. Undone.
Dots that make you happy.
Dancing on the bottom. Melting down the walls.
Dancing through the garden. Aspirations.
Racing to the thought of fascinations.

Black winter nights under bright rimmed horizons.
Cadence recited. An eye for enlightened erudition.
Lonesome, divided in flagrant denial. Flayed and benighted.
Bent down to die anew, absolving.
Viscous winds turn towards us. Whispering omens. Inciting minds.
Instant karma.
Energies rise. Stoke the desire. Step to the side and let her drive
Into a world of forsake soma, aching to die.
Generate a work of expressive noema, desparate to rise
Through corridors. Dancing over pouring auroras. Raining down.
Slow motion silence.
Energies rise when we collide. Stretch to the skies and let me divine.
Rising blackened.
Fragrance imbibed in an ardent desire.
Whisked to her side as we rise towards divine through spheres of silence.
Bells are ringing out tonight.

Distant star descend and engulf. Revealing a form that evolves into stark cognition.
Spoken softly,
“Tell me, Darling. What’s your story?”
Viscous storms expand in tumult. Breaching the walls they dissolve into sharp incisions.
Liberating.
Once she saw me, palisaded, abbreviated, I stirred stone and leaf.
This hand is unshaken.
Distorted dreams. Despairing eyes that’ve surely seen disparate lives.
This sordid scene. This stale disguise that slowly bleeds to stay alive.
Disorderly. This state of mind gives authority to this paradigm.
Deserted streets. This veil of lies. The sort of thing that steals your lighto.
Same story, get out of this wasteland. Get out of control.
Sensory generate summation. Get out right now.
Bow to the moon. Expand to the void. Down through the roots.
Descend to the womb and bury me.
In reverie. Marry me to everything.
Bury me in reverie. Endlessly embellishing.
Depth in soil ascend and impart.
Kindling a soul that ignites into spark Transcendent.
Old souls reborn
This stormy sea. This paradigm. It sort of seems too sanitized.
Disorderly. This state of ours must surely swing towards paradise.
This satellite. This seed of life, its’ sovereignty desanitized.
This soaring scene. This sage advice that surely signs to stay alive.
Same story, get out of this wasteland. Generate some light.
History. Give up the restraints and get on with your life.
Rise and set your eyes towards sacred sentimental homeward.
Wide eyed. Silent, sacred.
I died at the source of delight.
