American furious as the sun ॐ vibrant as the moon
Maybe I should have picked up my phone And just called Instead of thinking about you from time to time, As if you were not already Listening, Waiting to answer. Sometimes sh*t don’t make any sense, It’s all about the way it comes across Or maybe the way that it doesn’t even leave my head half the time. How should I put it, perhaps, other heads don’t always work like mine does.

Ringing
your flavor is acidic, sharp & sweet like lemonade, & we play a symphony with violin-hearts, resonate. you are the moment of rest between every breath; you’re there when you’re not, I’m lost when you leave. where dreams and life collide; leave your weary bones behind time has it’s own heartbeat; every gear will turn, in time

Dysgeusia
do you have your wits about you when you climb into your bed? do you pray for better days as you try to clear your head? we are all the same someway, i assure you. though we try to find a way to ignore the truth. as the huddled masses gather and try to find their grace, they tell of one to saves us, to take us from this place; but somehow still the tears, they fall and they gather by the graves of the ones that never made it, introduced to unexpected fate where have we gone? where are going? you can’t it take it from us please, don’t take it from us. not this.

the problem of induction
by the gleam of idols, governed, minds’ defied; no sanctuary untouched by their guise disguising love as god; a masquerading truth, entailed with the cycle of the moon. around and around the shepherds lead lost souls, hung on hooks by fishers of men

lost in translation
cerebral collation, the flesh of gods; in amiable display of communion. communion of worlds. raptured in a savor of unity; unbounded within our ceremony. to unearth the creed of man and beast.

honeycomb
a gathering; parietal. upon the hill. where truth beguiled, and brightened by the suns of gods; crucified... somehow outshone by the light of our skin. where the dagger rests, now sleeping in the flesh; the blood of martyrs was not enough for the black sky over Golgotha. oh father, forgive us for we know not what we do.

pontius pilate
there is no silence within you; and still, no place to resonate. amidst a flash of deja vu, how could you form your own escape? chastised tongues are bathed in blood; salt the wounds now, as she weeps. the truth rebuked in sacrifice; what does it mean to truly sleep? the vivid recount, you’ve been here before familiar sounds, foreign allure. do halted hearts liberate souls? is your last breath even your own? dreams dreams of black and gold remnants of arson; smoldered coals. dreams dreams of severed souls lavish closets; empty homes

the hell behind our fathers' eyes
she is precisely the poem that I aspire to write.

untitled (10w)
the world around me is changing, gaged to see if i keep up. I tend to think the ground is sinking, so i’ve buried all my luck. but gears are shifting, though it is not time that they must keep; [but] machinery of dreams when i should hold the hand of sleep into a place where no one could have ever even known the shades of every color that now decorate my soul. the spectrum of the source now shining through to make me whole, I reach beyond dimensions; make the light into my home.

bulb
in what archaic light might i be made to be seen pure? when shadows will not taint the progress of a life reborn & what projection may impart the whole of what i truly am? in what dimension might we see outside of where the fringes end? to recognize a truth how can we say we know it’s path? when even light may bend and ruse, deceive the structures of the past. to awaken any hope, hold fast to faith in what you know, but even that is made like sand elapsed, with no hands made to hold unbound by words or thoughts alone, the spirit flies above the sea & language foreign to the earth, can somehow now make sense to me. the ancient life, known before birth, the way we were before; is somehow still a flick'ring flame that burns forevermore. so cast your burdens to the wind that carries our hearts home. a vast new force from deep within has overturned all stones. within the currents, all encompassed progress, not our own. as galaxies may shift, so may all hearts become one home.
