Armenian I speak to you in rhythms / Because I know no other way than this; / The serpent’s melody is my reason, / And strokes my growing insanity.
Please be patient, And most kind, My trembling hands deceive – My quivering makes me seem – Ever so cowardly! Don’t believe the tremors, They can’t possibly tell my tale. But my pen refuses to bleed, It’s tired of sobbing for me. And at my door I find, Emotion most unkind! It detests me for - All that I’ve dismissed, Amassed and stored. Yet how can I reveal Words too near, too dear? Into what fountain would I pour The love I choose to ignore? Blank white pages – my beloved. They’ve become my only escape From Dire prison cages!

Refusal to Bleed
Bittersweet Seventeen, Ophelia drove me absent of fear, And chaotically - Led me to bridges most unclear. Embittered Eighteen, She exposed her lethal shrine, And recklessly – I sunk in her deathly design. By and by, I now exist with one dead eye.

Ophelia's Fatal Reprisal
Society mourns bodies 6 feet deep, But I preserve My livid tears For Death That lives. Bodies that shift, Corpses that wheeze, While their souls Choke and thrash, Desperate to breathe.

Seemingly Alive
It is fickle wealth that The Pauper sobs over, Screaming with fury At the fate he can’t alter. It is superfluous riches The Prince sighs over, Raging with hunger At his rival’s extra acre. Necks’ sore with constant strain, By each willful bend and break - They fail to see the sun’s rays And the gilded beauty of – Beauteous Bouquets.

Mirror Imagery
I am the seemingly blind That leads a sightless mind Into everlastingness. Kissing my eyes with deceit, She bows at my feet And regards me as – A muse most Sublime.

Superficial Sight

Refusal to Bleed
Carve out a piece of my wit – Feed it to those homely dogs, Rob me of this golden grit – Hand it to Corpses vacant of tenacity, Deprive my soul of my fair Melody – Culpable feet do need aid in discovery, Drain the rosy hue from my lip – Pour it into a spirit more desolate, Employ each fraction of my Essence – So through Limitless Eyes, I shall become – Infinite!

Establishing Infinity
Nostalgia crawls up my door, So I hide behind the entrance and Slit her throat with my dire retention. O, Sweet Liberty, Can I really be free? Now a buzzing in my ear, A perpetual ringing in my ear, Is that smirking ridicule I hear? I’m not permitted sovereignty ‘cause Cruel slavery ceaselessly quiets me – Always scoffing, forever mocking, Autonomy swallows my fuming misery And spikes it with bittersweet Reality. O, Sweet Liberty, I’ll never get to dance with thee!

An Eternal Servant
In walks One, So it begins with Primal desire! On stumbles Two, And Heaven and Hell brutally conspire! Here comes Three, Bow down to the Holy Man! Standing in the corner is Four, My Love constantly alters his contour! Lying outstretched is Five, All his senses irrevocably combined! That precise symmetry is Six, What Luck his Lady must bring! The Sinister player is Seven, Deviously uniting mortality and divinity! Nose in the air is Eight, His Perfection won’t dare be disregarded! Out walks Nine, His destination distinctly Eternity! And here I stand, curiously observing the scene, Figuring life is nothing but Numerical Folly!

Numerical Folly
She sleeps intimately with envy, And while green haze fills the brim of her black lung, Words of devotion do drip from her false tongue. Feigning fallacious love for me, She doth be the daughter of Apate!
