The shouting face of the sea
Ravages rocks on the toes of the beach
Seashells glued to glass
laminate the reflecting rays of the baking sun  
A pebble preaches to a mountain
Underneath an electric dream
Galvanize my heart,
It needs a jump-start
Stuck in a frozen tundra of fallacy
Chasing broken tragedies
I told her
I tried
Nothing seems to change the mind
So I guess I’ll have to lie
Praying a lion’s smile
captures her immaculate eyes
But my summer’s luck lacks the ability to clear cloudy skies
Now I am alone in a misty meadow
With taciturn trees
Yet you were like the warm belly of a manatee
And I was a calloused heart  hoping for a remedy

I ride higher
Than your suicides
You write:  

Take me back,
I’m sweetly reminiscing of
Solar wings embracing
celestial winds
Sunsets of broken chords
Summer's shattered sword
Winter’s ornery
Jaded blue jays
Gray's vacant face

I salute your honesty
But blisters wrought on
A calloused heart
Cuts deeper
Than the oceans' void

Let me sleep whimsically
With rotten melodies
To keep me from
Changing the tone of
My stuttering dreams

But,
Soft, teeth speak
Like broken branches
On dilapidated trees

And
I’d spend
Eternity
In the chime of your
White fire voice

Or
Those olive green
Teasing eyes
Keeping me sheepishly serene
Whirling
Weaving
Into a timid peace  
  
Yet our
Crashing
Tongues slam
Into sour Suns
Swallowing the seams
of interconnectivity
Scattering liquid beams
of entropy

I forget those days we
Wasted on the morbid
Memories

Neptune's core collapses
Splintered diamonds descend in stabbing fashion

Sleepy knives pass silently through the night
Casting shadows in the caliginous moon light

Stitched spiderwebs glisten across autumn's equinox
Discordant thought raptures in a Gordian knot

The symmetry of entropy plots its course
The universe resets its clock

There is a Cheshire cat with a nefarious nose ring
Who lashes berating riddles, and vernacular that’ll make you cringe
He slithers through abandoned shadows
On dilapidated gravel, and bears a deathly sickle grin
Enticing as he may be, he only wishes to deceive
So be wary of his beguiles, they are hidden underneath his symmetrical smile
Nor give in to the plastic prophecies he preaches
Nothing he teaches will stitch meaning into your ambiguities
For he enslaves your sorrows and siphons your dreams
Leaving you asphyxiated in catatonic screams

Slippery insanity careens through marble forests,  
trained insurgents capture dragon flies
grinding them up for pixie dust,
cowards siphon rain drops from entangled subatomic particles
inscribing hopeless anecdotes for economical tyranny,
bloated bumble bees bomb pearl harbor,
golden harps sprout wings chasing lost lovers
nourishing their insipid dreams,
homophobes parade **** inside sinking ships,
graveyards sneeze showers of formaldehyde,
nature's chemical cathedrals synthesize
the eleven dimensions of space and time,
summer's daughter bathes in autumn's waters
a myriad of memories engraved in the brain's tissues
trace the tapestry of neural plasticity
Prometheus's pollution and the alchemist's sunset

I'll be your Sartre
Be my De Beauvoir
Together well make a pact
Never to leave each others hearts
Though barriers will drive us apart
I won't disappear like an ephemeral mark
Instead I'll have Apollo conjure you a magic harp
To play you sweet melodies when we have to depart

Mama I've done wrong
Did it again
Swallowed the red sun and burnt my tongue
Now I talk in caustic prose
As I watch precious friends erode into stories that were once told
Missing the elastic howls that died in the sweet summer time,
our mellow procrastination that became an erratic fascination,
hopeless meandering in the forest grove
where we found Cherub rock and communicated in implicit thoughts
Merely stowed memories in a paper boat
Drifting towards a somber moat
formed from the friction of  splintered convictions

The chords of thunder roar
Black clouds of war wash ashore
It's time to fall on my own sword

You need sunglasses when your staring at me
Cause the light I emanate scars the retina of my enemies
There is no cure for the blindness you will endure
A pain perpetuated by the ignorance so perniciously procured
Squared against an inevitable death I easily steal your breath from the barrel of my Smith and Wess
Watching your hollow tears bleed on the canvas I project
a cataclysmic disaster wrapped up in a dismal death

We sit here at the pinnacle of our lives speaking in shadows
Masking our mouths from what we oblige
Stop and listen to the earth as it decries
The subtle architecture of this worldly demise
So as we kick back and sorely reside
I’ll be the change in the coming tide

Caged inside tortured flesh I search for rest to keep the human condition suppressed
But all I find each time that I design a new quest I become a servant of death
Invigorated by the test I stretch my consciousness to tear the limbs off your chest and beat you senseless
I won’t stop there, I’ll slit the throat leaving you without hope and then drown it in Everclear
While I may seem like a cynic
I’m not through with these gimmicks
Lacerating your heart with the bones I striped from your tendons
I’m not an advocate of violence but
Sometimes the pilot of peace needs to be reached by setting loose the destruction we inherently seek

We sit here at the pinnacle of our lives speaking in shadows
Masking our mouths from what we oblige
Stop and listen to the earth as it decries
The subtle architecture of this worldly demise
And I’ll hide my words with silence
And I’ll no longer become violent
Just another subservient machine lost in a sea of tyrants

I won’t be blunt here I’ll keep dropping metaphorical bombs onto your ears
Until all my peers understand the imminent plan that needs to be adhered:
Stop short cause change is impossible to purport
Don’t dream cause it’ll get shattered with a corporate hammer
Stay sinking in a world that raises a stagnant banner
Assimilate with the overzealous overweight materialism that manifests in the minds of the poor and is perpetuated by strip malls and ******

Where go thee traveler, trailing in broken shadows?

Just another poet wandering down a mischievous path of deceit and beguiles.
Who be thee? Another shattered soul sauntering in denial?

Carry a name I do not, but you may call me whatever comes to your thoughts.

Cassandra. Deliverer of delight and heavenly sight, but caustic to those who try to consume her with the allure of night.

Cursory charm, a daring attempt to overtake the apex of my harnessed heart.

My penchant roars with a persistence that never rests!
Audacious lips of mine will eclipse your eyes as deep as an ocean and dark as wine.
Let our shadows combine, our fate intertwine to capture a moment of the divine.

Arrhythmic and blind your love needs redesign!
Otherwise I'll become another infatuation lost in time.

Here I stand austere without effrontery to burden our affair. What is it you'll have me declare?

First follow me into the infinite abyss.

What after I plunge into the nebulous mist?

Our hands we'll share in the company of crescent stares

My name is Pablo Cervantes
But you can call me Quinton Saint Clair
I’m something rare like turquoise tangerines
Or crystal cathedrals and blistering sunbeams,
My stare is a raw gaze full of awe like ocean’s dawn
I ride ******* on polar bears in the dead Alaskan air
Slay undead corpses, a tantalizing career  
Drink the tears of Jesus to make life clear  
Eat waterfalls for breakfast, mountains for lunch, and last, but not least I feast on shooting stars before I go to sleep
Just call me Quinton Saint Clair savior of all quintessential affairs

With rain covered kisses, transforming my placid wishes
I can't pretend
I'm ready to ******* like space and time is about to end
So as I transcend my byzantine brain beyond the bend
My heart starts beating like a gong,
Both, high above the throng
You in that turquoise thong
The crescendo in my gaze,
A potent phase coalescing our ****** rage  
My tongue sinks into your supple skin
No longer can we play this subtle game,
A salacious urge pulsates through our veins
Bare our bodies blossom raw,  hypnotized in lucid awe
We connect like naked puzzle pieces
Our navels entrenched in a holy bliss
Arranged as mirror images
Our corresponding parts catalyze the chemical kiss

Powered by a thirsty rush
I seek to destroy an innocent touch
To tear apart the thickening rust
Sharpen my razor against everlasting love
Fumed with pale malice, a sickening lust
I rip the flesh that harbors my trust
Cringe at bleak stares as my knife thrusts
Passion immolated, heaved and crushed

Love, the toothpicks that built the architecture to my suicide
***, the physical affliction my body hungers
Hate, what swells inside and comes alive when I'm drowning in lies
Time, I wish to slit that *****'s wrists and stop the fleeting chase of experience
Space, where everything goes numb
Life, impatiently awaits death
Death, the only thing that makes sense

Drowning in placid dreams
Stagnant and stale, though fleeting and frail
the prevailing conditions of my premonitions
Are harbored by betrayal
The sword unsheathed
Malice and pale
Stained somber silhouettes
unveiling what was to entail

This is my disposition
It rises like a sail
caressing the wind
I take a breath
Blowing away my travails

Righteous and cunning
Her wings were stunning
Fondling my imagination she seeped into my salvation
but hasty anticipation toppled the torrid sensation  
Awkward we lapsed
into hardened silence
Shedding passive violence

This is my disposition
The love we shared
beared burdens of despair
But we didn't care

Belligerent and blind
Your lips stumbled toward mine
Our tongues intertwined
Tearing stars out the sky
We stole the night
  
This is my disposition
The cold blue air exchanged
An ensemble of rusty winds
The abyss replacing our forgotten names

A stranger in atrophy, cringing bleak teeth
Erratic Discordian defeat

His reality painted in dismal dreams
A palette of cacophony

Nailed to shadows under his feet
Swallowed by lingering tears trapped in time's tyranny

Constrained to a chaotic labyrinth
Meandering in the shell of the mind

Anchored to the subtle precepts of the past
This phantom universe slips from his grasp

To whom it may concern
The toils and burdens my soul upturns
Burns insipid valleys in her earthly world
I am the pronouced hate
Invigorating the vapid sensation
So plastically waiting to commensurate
Residing in the bowels of God my stitched fate
Defecates the defective path, one day we all must take
Smite the plight purging these devilish urges?
Or rage the plague until the roots of life are twisted with screeching decay?
Either way death always stares one dead in the face
And yet it is I who carries the torch to light your funeral dirge

Oh Great American Pioneers
Is there nothing more we hunger to discover?
Is there no longer a thrill to explore, unravel, or  seek?
What happened to the inclination
of chasing curious mysteries in the ubiquitous abyss
Revealing uncharted geography
Tasting foreign experiences
Lost in fecund meandering

Our puzzles cannot possibly be complete
There will always be an abundance of missing pieces
So set out and search for these conundrums
Break free from the mainstream recluse state of defeat
Or be content with T.V. dinners and two hour showers
Dreaming about what you could have been

I loathe this monotonous behavior
Stop being an unconscious participator
Escape your hostage environment
Become the instigator

The death of the pioneer is what I mourn
The dead American dream is how I was born

Your my glittering madness, hold me tight while you obliterate my sadness
Quell the white asylum scream that fills my vacant dreams
Flood the floors of my imagination with ubiquitous gleam

I look up to the sky, cold and gray, leaving me reminiscing  of my mortal decay
Swollen with fear, I whisper comforting phrases into your ear,
Nothing but the stolid rain
Kissing away our mental bane
Leaves us empty, wandering like midnight, in a vacant train
So we stay teetering on the edge of reflection
Our minds give away to sicking deceptions.
We move in, to seize what so awkwardly keeps us dismayed
Closer
Wait we just may
I wrap my tongue tightly around the tips of your lips
Hoping never to lose my grip.
Your heart's tickled, spreading sunshine like ripples beaming beyond what is believably permissible
But so soon to pass the moment cannot last
Vanishing like tears in an ocean,
This moment,
Gone forever like a fleeting motion  
Soon to be a stale memory
Waiting to be filtered by time's relentless lapsing devotion
Now I wait for this thought to wash up one deary morning
Forever anticipating that beautiful, but distant emotion

Beauty and life is jubilant at every sight
But I seem to be discontent
My hasty heart is empty searching to reign supreme in the first lover's eyes I meet
An affectionate gaze is all I need to extinguish this insatiable grief  
So I observe patiently with lingering love coursing through my sanguine blood
But I feel as though potential lovers perceive me as a facade
Merely passing through me like an apathetic mirage
I try to captivate them with enchanting words
But they flutter and dissolve without a magnitude of concern
Leaving me feeling as blank as these walls, wishing to transpire into an alluring waterfall
Inanimate and free
No more lost causes and awkward pauses
Just a flowing force careening with no set course
But instead I'm lost dreaming with my pen
Wishing, hoping, the courage of love will let me in

You are
The most marvelous marmalade
masquerading
in a jar of jelly
let me
run my fingers through
and get sticky
with your confetti

Adalae Tarafay
A muse a guile
a quivering smile
with dimples that
ripple making life
so simple
Adalae Tarafay
Wild and proud
she hovers like
a warm cloud
emanating sunshine
were ever she is found
Adalae Tarafay
The epitome of life
her words resonate like
the auroras boreales
at night
Adalae Tarafay
The path you laid, feel free to stray
because reality is only shades of gray
so live your life like a warrior poet
and live it the way you wrote it

Emily I miss you
This nocturnal void engulfs me
There's no knowing where I'm going
All I feel is the astonishment your love left  
The distant dream I long to live
Is only a nostalgic vibe I fear
Emily I miss you
My tongue is tangled with our thoughts
Grazing everlasting dust of what was lost
The stale taste I bear hinders my intuition
But the burden will drive me out of submission
Though motivation has grown thin
Wasted away like somber wind
Emily I miss you
Scorched, livid, and ready to berate
Your supple skin drowns my hate
This torrid relation is pressed against all my weight
Emily I miss you
Its been a long time since I've seen you smile
I grow weary coping with denial
While our trust once solid  begins to rust
With trepidation I wait knowing my tarnished heart's been destroyed by lust
I miss you, Emily

Enraptured in a façade
It’s the mirage that I am God
The question is not my sense of direction
But the of stale afterthoughts guiding an unknown dimension
Spraying down like lightening, glistening arced and frightening,
The power to transform the tranquil will of my wisdom lingers in the distance
Breathe that hope of remedy
Speaking with melody  
Today the time is always now
Go forth
Tear down these deplorable walls
For what remains will forever stay the same
So while your stolidly masquerading with the absurd and obscene
My backseat dreams come complete with no buttons or seams
Go forth
Congeal that essence of being
And burn the blinding veneer
The burden can no longer drive our fear

I want to pour my soul into a bowl
And watch it swim in an ocean of sin
With a shattered will dissipated and broken
Buying cheap thrills with pretentious pills
I’m stained with a chemical taint splashing in electric paint
But cured by the song of a humble saint
I become the swirls swimming in a sapphire pearl
Watching your exquisite curls taking me to a new world

Twin moons, the size of balloons
Beam like bleached bones, unearthed from a tomb
Spinning without concern, sleeping inside a desolate universe
Taking many turns, but leaving no trails of being perturbed
Cursed by gravity’s lure, their chase will never diverge

Stolid glances repress my intended advances
But August's brush paints an illustrious lust to hold with you my mighty touch
I dreamt an million dreams to be with only you unseen
No more cars or bumps created by dump trucks only winds whipping my back to throw me on track to seal the forbidden facts
You pried it out from under my pursed lips or should I say fingertips
Away we chatted until it became a habit
We cherished it dearly yet distance made us weary
Time unfolded the unintended, yet the inevitable became unprecedented
Even though we drift apart I will always hold you in my heart

Illuminated we dance
With the burden of midnight resting in our glance
Where the gaze becomes a stare
The whisper becomes a howl
Love a sound, resonating in the thunderous clouds
From which the wind brushes aside our high, and pushes you and I towards the apex of life
And in the byzantine sky, where we now reside
We stitch all the sorrows of tomorrow with our lips

Chasing dreams tied to a paper kite, in flight on fire and outta sight
To light the way for the specters in the night, who march to the dirge, your funeral rite
While emanating above will be a shadow dressed in blood watching his soul dissipate into dust
His choler rises, till heart is fit to bust
Have caution, don’t fall prey to the charms of battle’s lust
For he who draws his sword in anger shall find his steel has turned to rust
But that burning rage lingers captivating a vacant touch
Ignited the blade swings ending with an unforgiving ******
Forcing flesh to paint the canvas with an uncanny brush

I'll be the elevator taking you up
With doors wide open never thinking to shut
I am the highway you rode on the bus
Every bump and turn guided with trust
I'm the wind blowing away your tears
So darling never fear cause I'll always be here

I’m staring at the sun with a loaded gun
Blazed in glory firing aimlessly for fun
I shot the wind shredded it thin
Violently she spread her wings
The wrath of her breeze tore off these sleeves
Filling me with vigor
Now I sit here alone in peace
Memories decease, life repeats, love defeats
But nothing can take away the array of bullets sprayed that day
Painted curiously in the shape of a bouquet
Petals shed for the life I lead
Here today I hold the key
To open a lock that will foresee
The end of me
