Existential ache, Visceral and immediate Occludes all reason, A fated Solitude. The myth of dearth, In prose retold Retaining fictive resolve, Tacitly confessed. Ineluctable Torpor Petitions my Ardent supplications. Present, Beckoned in the dulcet Confluence — Beauty and affliction Freshets of silence, Redressing the fallow Surface of my soul. © 2016 W. S.

Primacy of Being

Existential ache, Visceral and immediate Occludes all reason, A fated Solitude. The myth of dearth, In prose retold Retaining fictive resolve, Tacitly confessed. Ineluctable Torpor Petitions my Ardent supplications. Present, Beckoned in the dulcet Confluence — Beauty and affliction Freshets of silence, Redressing the fallow Surface of my soul. © 2016 W. S.

I was up early, Put clothes on in the blue black frost, The moment singular As splintered light speaking indifferently Had driven out the cold. Listening, Space inserted — found in breath, Awakens gratuity In the austere and lonely provinces.

Gratuity

I was up early, Put clothes on in the blue black frost, The moment singular As splintered light speaking indifferently Had driven out the cold. Listening, Space inserted — found in breath, Awakens gratuity In the austere and lonely provinces.

Corpses proliferate in soaring violence; heirloom of franchise and eminence— perish in erosion. Timid denizens of derision, cynicism in roaring silence — optimism’s paling vapor—commodity of Indecision, our halcyon days forgotten. Chosen token of audacity; the onyx maladroit feigns, prevaricating beneath the Sacred canopy. Etudes of apathy; attrition unlamented; streams of guile— quixotic squall conversely merge — veiled conceit, eloquent arrow of equivocation. The policy of attenuation. Treason’s vine obscured beneath the blind surf of consent. © 2014 & 2016 W. S. Warner

Attenuation

Part One Nascent Craving The insular heart unsealed; pearled eyes Breach parapets of stone— periled shield, The sweetest **** A threatening wonder and irrefragable synergy, Nervous routes of cognition In this nascent, amorous craving. Locked and abased, Dissonance lends pathos — euphoric and onerous, Disconsolate cries curb sublimation, The regnant bleed diffusing — fervid lust Fondled, tactile surfaces in throbbing anticipation. Sullen, aft a veil of laughter, Visceral aftermath, out of The ardent ash, Burns a thirst; Insuperable numbness and ache. Efflorescent intimacy, Table for two Enraptured in new alliance, Élan vital (psyche); Urgent dialect petitions Equivocation, jocularity blending Provocation with indecision, Noted lilt of descending inhibition. Adrift, the incessant Now; As occasion inexorably diminished; Resonant simpatico tending, Numinous amity; Heard conversant, cognitive idioms— Lassitude, time-eaten pangs of the unhinged heart, Wounds axiomatic, In disquieting synergy, Nibbling, the circumference— Misery’s permeating truth; None immune, all trundle incongruously past, Facing intrepid savages. Licitly felt, reverberations of Amor Whence the heart behaves; Measured cadence, pulse elevating— Treasured lover, contemplative muse; Undulating clasp, inflated bone of absence; Incarnation — a woman, Beyond prosaic; Ineffable adoration pours in certitudes of verse, Elenita, enclothed —virtue unvarnished; Reservoir intrinsic, poised advocate of the innocent: The crooked lines of insolence, Brazen culture of neglected youth. Perceptive blue stare, sensitized tears— Plaintively, evincing her injustice ago. Part Two Tendered Senses Siren silence, eruptive blush, ampler between phrases In dulcet tones — stirring discourse; Foments rebellion, the strife beneath— his **** Out of its vast reserve, Penetrate the narrowed ambit, vaguely announced. Groping hands, migrating the sensual member Stern faces grimacing— mirror in abrasion, Under the blind surf of consent; Burrowing ambiguity, emerging torsion, Plunge, enlisted and content in the sea; Subsumed in the nonverbal cue, Persuasion’s plea, Quelled in the post cerebral assent. Piercing eyes parallel crystalline waters of Lake Tahoe. An untouched portion of his awareness remains aloof, Palpable in the subsequential quiet, Obsequious and febrile, they sinned on sofas; Peregrine predilections quenched and viscid— Serenely requited, the room breathes her presence, Limp, figures ******** mantled in adolescent torpor. Erudition in bloom, trust undoubted, Illuminating, satiating; tempest calm— Under canvas Terrain soaked and sodden, Postliminary — rains of invalidation. Allowance and permission Recalibrate, salivate, shortly only— Initiate, obliged consecration, appraising Curvatures of the spine, Stuns him obeisant, her femenine pulchritude, Propinquity inciting vigor, Emergent allure, **the updriven Tower of wood sprung from the blanket.** Suffused in ether, purring streams of remembrance Vaginal honeyed dew, sung into Orchids, remnants of remember; Drenched down the cynosure of devotion; Succulent view, diaphanous pantied bottom; Halcyon mist, saporous wine — compliance of the will, Freed fires wander, Pliable rind, twin plums dripping, Abject confession, dispatching doubt In tendered senses, Pivotal tree, lavender Jacaranda holds the key, Unfurled, cindered vulnerability. Half-denuded skin invites confessional savor Acutely bubbled rear, fleshly furnished denim; Sultry visit, San Ramon Valley in the fall, Strewed limbs splendid, flowing filmy; Imagination yields— Bursting silk congealed Across deft thighs, ambrosial thong draping ankles, Grazing ascension, the curvaceous trajectory Nose inflamed with fragrance, Inhaling, climb of acquiescence, The ****** weal, amid the globed fruit, Focal intention — ploughed lance thrusting, Absconding, the ancillary perfume of essence. Perceiving avid validation, Swimmingly, amid the monstrous gaze. Humid skies simper dank, set swell the incense of Eros, Surge of poetry engorged The flame levened shaft, Nimble ******* flounce, spill the harboring mouth; Moist hands merging, unfettered, Weave in supplication, Vicinity voicing, enmeshed diversion; Supple and spherical behind Posterior arch, milky-skin against the lip— Ripeness jostling their complacency; Lapped the mooring, ridden decisively; Recapitulating— spumed forth, bellied over hips warmth. Abandon the dirge of self-pity Late under ego’s trance. Part Three Present Tenses Tempting trespass across sacred gardens, Flowering, scandal set luminous: attachment— Consensual, their corresponsive fear; Protean manifestations— evocative, perpetual Unutterable contention in a fictive resolve, Deliberating the merits of their widely disparate tastes in coffee, Amorously touring wine, let’s drowse through the gnarled vine. Sundry deficiencies pale, once contrasted; The beatific vision— Material substance unaccompanied, Imperceptible, tear-streamed cheeks in synch, Ventral kiss, peak of carnal perfection, Reminiscence— flesh violent with Love. Fiction knew to meander the innominate rift, A tincture of irony soften misdeeds Immense as the sea. Insolvent beast stippled with sapience— Unmasked, the fabric of delusion; Dependence smothering the disciplined heart Resentment put up for release. Waste of residual years Fate’s apportion, scars bleakly observed; Chastened by heartache, engulfing fervor Too faint to recapture. Vague glimpses dry— Hypervigilant his defenses, Veritable suspensions, embers lit linger; Slender walls of solidity, the horizoned self, Faith and reason in concert — stone levels of elucidation. Fractured bones of distance, emanate a rigid salience, Another ponderous night of absence— Lingering, cauldron of dearth as indifference ushers, The quotidian coil of contrition. Tearful pallor, sequestered —ciphering time and solitude; The unkissed mouth, his restive brow; Suspend in the approximate span. After Lucid alliterations are spoken **Devoid of her face, his lover’s nudge— The man nurtures his hurt.** Anxious as seldom unscarred, Venus’s susurrations, In present tenses, Kissed by her serenades of integration— Notwithstanding metaphysic intrusion, No chain stays unbroken, Postponed drifts of deferment left unspoken, Reverberations of amor. © 2013 W.

Seasoned Love's silent discourse, Dusk of the long distance, Beneath the mantle of lament The peak bloom, gnawing decay, Obscure The weight of favor; Annealing fire, moulded by Winds of duration Unfastening the raw surf of sorrow. Incipient caprice, theft of occlusion Colored by common defiance, Vile tremors of privation- Native enclave, The province of Vacant, age-eaten elucidation. The tangled weave, pathos and ethos Vested Interior acquisition, Furrowed paths of countenance Evincive and drawn, Affinity found, inhabiting the palisades Of Immersion. A furtive glance harbors The trained gaze whose Immanent flame- Emergent Serous source, Imbued piercing latency; A taste of The fountainhead. Unprobed theater of the absolute. Thin supple pith Identity sealed in skin Perambulator of meaning and Lineaments of cure. Bearing the image of ubiquity Perceives in the other, Immortality. Sacramental Eros, Subsumes the Capacity to treasure. ©2013 W.S. Warner

Hearing fogged drops of rain Precipitate violence in the Amazon, Against the placid Leaves; Left disheveled the unfiltered forest. Dampness divorced from its thin vapor blur Plummeting memoirs retold, the cradled Past returns its own, splintered light Edging the threshold of infinitude, Axiomatic slippage each fell cold. Fallen moisture recovered, Once nourished the ancients; Correspondingly, we align. Lineal descendants, Tides of March, Sibilant waters flow through us. Hoary myths, now hallowed imminent. Ponderous, our torn skies cleft, clouds suffused in grey─ The emergent pour, casts a montage of Freighted silence, implicit tapestries Sewn seamless; our kindred froth ashore. Pedigreed continuum bound in common plight, Unseen flood of halcyon Dust and flesh coalesce beneath the torrent; Genetic lines merge ─ intersection of Time and eternity. From the same water we drink. Lineal descendants, Tides of March, Sibilant waters flow through us. ©2012 W.S. Warner

Secretly bending glimpses, When pine and survey align In tortuous accord – Reflections of you, Are not enough Drew Barrie; To insulate my heart From the cleft between us. Perennials, the color of Periwinkle, The smell of rain And crayons Return you to me, Lend presence, vestiges, Invoke The gift of you, Fortify my resolve To one day reunite. Numbness and ache, Lavish tears set Against the Unimpeachable light, Held in the glint in your eyes Unequivocally green, Each blink evokes allure, Found in A blushing smile - Little one, I observe in quiet Adoration, amid Our segregation, Ardor undiminished, Prayers give permanence Uttered in a pause Each Breath drawn; Ephemeral visions, alive, Ballads and rhyme Memories aflame, occupy A sacred canopy, Internal; profoundly Savored Never to erase. Searching for treasure, Collecting prized sand And stone, Your pockets, heavy With plunder. Somber tones fill Gaps in our history, Find new contrast, Certain hues Oscillating shades of gray Stirring cues Dearth of winter blue. Trees bare, secluded, Known in the bones, This crisp boreal air — February. Moisture absent, Like a father's words Laconic; Your irreducible gaze, In the Opaque imagination. Oddly arid season, Aloof precipitation, The will of the wind Indefatigable, Sonnets of euphony, leave me Undone, Permit me to grieve, Another year - gone. Nervous Squirrels, sedentary And quiet, As if to mourn with me, I miss my daughter. The spring equinox, Poised pavilion blended Unfolds in bloom, Elucidating The approaching day Of your birth. Stunning you were, Your prominent Entry into creation, Tiny noises, Nestled and snug. Reach My effusive heart. You are here, Equipped with an Absorbing mind Wrapped, Perfectly Designed, in a petite Fashioned frame. Emotions, elastic - Diffuse and Compress, In distance friction Attenuates, Time and eternity Extend to the periphery, Agony Absorbed into Zoe. Grace and peace wash Ashore, rinsing Poetry pure; Cleansing, with surprise And vigor Recall the loftiest Of tokens. I too Encountered An esteemed rock, Smooth and orbed, Summoning Long thoughts, My citadel made Of three, Uniquely ensconced Inside - Priceless gems, Sustain me. Enclaves of privilege Gratified each vacant Mirror, Until notes and Words gather to form Your story, Emergent, The world shifts, Altered anew. Resurrection, Simile to Our reconciliation Visceral and singular, Exuberant teardrops Flood, fall deeply Approximating mercy, Severe, sudden as The April freshet. In the lavender garden. ©2012 & 2016 W.S. Warner

Miscommunication serendipity, anticipation, blurred reality - lost in the dialect of a dream, in pursuit of Love find callous irony; subversion of desire what's it all about? to know and be known. Mere seconds of scrutiny inferior, I am shown. Her appraisal eviscerating my warm flesh, her tilted criteria supplanting the interior, voluble with saccharine neologisms and preferences for the exterior. (not mine) Ironic was my attraction to her brain. Lines, features and symmetry, image - the commodity, aesthetics, the currency in this transaction, cursory liaison, incendiary, collapse of the insurgent ego - there was no us in the the affair of nothingness. Bruised in abasement, I'm not the one - I thought I was. Hyperbole - the center of delusion, a curious diversion - avoid my life. The allure of the illusion, transference, the ordinary to the romantic, the perfect other. Searching, the absorbing project - aquiring wholeness, did she reject me? I rejected me. The escape into fraudulent sadness, to mourn, is to displace, the disowned heart by self is tragic. Should I not mourn for the one I'm deferring? Inside of me It's safe, to lament the loss of identity - tension is agony without resolve sequestered, in my pain, self-imposed familiar terrain, upon retrieval, awaking in renewal, mystery and destiny providentially, I am free.

Miss Communication
