Cellar D'or Mar 2015
Floundering fabric of fluctuating time,
Wrest against the charred seas of void
And drive harbinger of ruin into life.
Making use of endecasillabos and fitting it into some sort of lengthened haiku.
Cellar D'or Mar 2015
Over the edge beyond the waterline
Where sea and sky are wielded by colour,
Beyond our sights into the vacant brine
Hangs stars dull shined unmarked by our scholar.  
Bright Sol, cast through the cold winter weather
Upon stone charts of soil come beckoning,
Around the hemisphere, boats in tether
Pierce cascading shimmering reckoning.
Guardian Helios guiding lightning
Through atmospheres familiar to our eyes,
Bring pantheons archaic, frightening
And make us venerate Gods by our lives.
Our anchors oscillate, locked by the pier,  
Our minds contorted, engulfed by the fear.

Inhale that final breath as the earth fills your mouth.

Exhale your body through the decomposition of time.
Cellar D'or Feb 2015
So the greatest temple of the Mind fell
Through endless diamond dust
Body of the volatile Spirit
Peeling away exposing
A lack of attribution
Eroding the Heart
To nothing.

I stand before desolation of a forgotten age
Like witnessing the Fall of Troy
In a marsh, stagnant tombyard
With my own countenance before it
Reflecting its sorrowful demise.
'I know not how it was; but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit.'
Edgar Allen Poe (The Fall of the House of Usher)

Rise.

Find heavenly glow
radiated in cobble
piercing the cracks
of your foundation.

See glistening shore
brushing sand current
of waves crashing
into your erosion.

Hear gusts envelop
creatures gliding through
the howling shriek
from your air.

Feel fire upon
the scorched horizon
of your country
extinguished by me.

Rest.
Cellar D'or Feb 2015
Hold me to this silence.
Streams of traffic, mundane, speech
Will not enter here.

Hadron of strength.
Love is like particle physics
Understood by our own passion.

Faith unrestrained by parameters.
Vowed to each other
'Til death give way to eternity.
