Blue Castle
Onoma Jul 2021
there's only incomprehension--

as even a Word given

reads like alphabetical order.

to watch its letters burnt

down for poetry.

end to end, as words having

received Word--leap from

the windows of a blue castle.

which mean as they fall for.

How Flames Twin
Onoma Jun 2019
the best of the best

goes unsung...

reach out your hands,

just like that--

good.

it's snowing ash.

we're so in Love...

we're burning one

another down.

how flames twin...

how Love presages

flesh.

how it grows across

the entirety of this

life, just to feel a

perfect touch.

Terrarium
Onoma Oct 2018
torrid mouth...

serpent-tongue

terrarium.

sleeping in a ball.

inertial bliss.

glass face.

smudgy fingerprints

of veritable touch.

leaving

spotty spider-cracks

catching artificial

light.

as uncoiling dreams

warm their blood.

it's snowing pinky mice.

Lipless Kiss
Onoma Apr 2018
bruised by rainbows
that bang the ends
of time--
abstracted to coursing
freedom.
cut off by rote--
your tethers whistle.
a melody that's
shame to the stranglehold
of ears--
the sounds of paths
never crossed.
the length of life's lipless
kiss,
soft as leaves trained
on the naked eye
of a tree.
how frictive, enter &
exit, so bright i forgot
to see.
only felt for the
precipitating steps
of feeling.
you wear a saint's
combustive head--
sending rare flowers
to hang from the
edge of the earth.

Giant Paleolithic Dog
Onoma Jun 2020
a giant Paleolithic dog's

fossils lie hidden on a plane

of existence.

his massive tongue remains

pristine, slunk and slobbering

down at the jaw.

still dying to retrieve the hunt,

Stone the Age--his dispassionate

master.

god of thy god, a pet project, a

reverse text.

The Temple Is Up
Onoma Aug 2019
the temple is up, hounded by

sleeplessness--as bodies of dust

move thru one another, and

will not settle.

a rose lie in a space of offering,

pacing her folds--as there is love

to be had.

lapis lazuli twilight, striated with

purple harbingers of lovers afoot.

impassioned in their unrest, they

know there is another in the distance

of the life that lives them.

to enfold with, secure and brace for the

aggressive fade--where this dream's undreamt.

Yogic Pit
Onoma Apr 2019

to the yogic pit--

a permenant

state of meditation.

Then Grinned
Onoma Oct 2018
there was this one night,

that sectioned off an intent

to-night.

where i walked up to the

devil and wiped the grin

clean off his face.

as with the care you would

food off a baby's mouth.

he just kept looking at me

like: what the **** are you

doing?

never was there a softer

flurry of reason harder to

swallow.

his eyes played like he was

overdosing...those snaky slits

spun like compasses.

that's when i leaned in and

whispered into his ear: i think

i'm lost on you.

then grinned.

Digestion
Onoma Apr 2018
at your leisure,
which may not be an extended
courtesy.
traverse the gut levels that
forewarn your animal.
as you're being basted by
the solvent juices of digestion--
feel bones slog beneath
flesh.
put together to pitch loccomotion
in shape.
allow for the phasing circumambulations
of a spiral to begin constriction.
let fall the reverberations of wet bells
on shriveling ears.
well on the hour no man can know--
well on the hour no man can know,
well on the hour.
with immense fidelity, the mass that
was he--broken down into uproars
of life.
as at an apogee of wind, a veil bulges--
and a spark leans forward to behold.

Words of the Ground
Onoma Apr 2017
From the shade of
faceless remorse...
the words of the
ground are
enunciated.
To the tune of
stone relieving
weight, to the
rhythm of wind
pacing horizonal
hips.
Seeds swarm their
arch, as the sower's
head lowers...dancing
with the overall shape
of things.

Whose Feathers Weigh Worlds
Onoma Nov 2016
As if held on high,
a mind's mind
offers its staked
parameters.
Gone as a thought
entire...light at the
wings whose feathers
weigh worlds.
A creator is
created, without a
chance to decry
loneliness.
Till the reconciliation of
a mind's mind will
become supreme
bliss.

Kissably Close
Onoma Mar 2017
Prone as skin skimmed

by sleep...

breathy prayers speedily

mouthed, kissably close.

As delicate wisps of hair

tug at their root, swearing

north is truth.

They steer their ghosting plex--

as he sub-screws up his face,

he doesn't want to go.

A hard sell, with a soft shell,

and neither or.

Flashing Pins in Drop
Onoma Apr 2017
hemmed in by rain,

umbrella's ferrule signals

this silent streak.

bolder than wheels on wet

black streets, mind and body

fall for one another.

flashing pins in drop, who

never register a top or bottom.

this again is spring, in the way

of this world, brought to the

surface to be put in phase for

another.

the street does not wait for

crossing, it'll be crossed--because I

believe there's somewhere I need

to be.

so do flowers.

Quaternity of Face
Onoma Oct 2019
there's a tremble at the edge of

every which world--as one and none

gathered round a fire spits snowy

sparks.

into skies that pass on skies--same

yet different in eyes made single.

swearing to no end that you are here--

set down to look up.

clear as the cold draft of magic--spelling

words.

doorways for the protusions of bodies--

held slow in their long fast.

searched for something other than meaning.

as curves catch on to their circle, and holes

moan black--spirituality offers the most

ironic grin.

earthy as ether in the quaternity of face.

Our Firebrand
Onoma Feb 2019
you gave chase...

the ground ran with us.

seduced by our firebrand.

motion broke open more exotic

pulses, churning a blood of

delightful bewilderment.

leaving experience raw--for an

enchanting crosswind.

permeated by a Flower that smelled

itself, falling asleep on stone that

tripped your foot.

as i leapt atop you--hungrier than ever.

Fish in the Sea
Onoma May 2017
So here's the mature
expression of a catch
flopping on deck.
Who could bear the
promise of more, from
where this one came?
Grin, multitudinous and
mawkish--an ungraspable
slick silver verse stuck to
puckering lips.
A face grown flat, by roles
played in common waves,
eyes placed for scanning
both sides of the sea.
You've even succeeded in
making Jesus seem fishy.

More Real
Onoma Aug 2017
there's a summit
where bones

there's a hole

Gather Ye Galaxy
Onoma Apr 2017
There's even a place for
light to hide--
where the speed of its year
goes to stop seeing.
To sleep the silence of a
different kind of clarity.
The center of a record fixed
to a point of no return, as
was on eternal play.
Now playing the first as last
note, every song's ghost.
Perfect circles drained
through one another...
sentience chasing itself.
Highest high, lowest low--
experienced simultaneously,
then cut off at peak intensity.
A sound that sighs the passion
of extinction--a whole wholly
consumed.
To equal the nullification of
lesser and greater degrees.
The richest black ever unseen--
colored by what tried to get
out of G*d's sight.
Where angels fall, and stagger
off--having been strip-searched
by Truth...enough.
*On those goodly black holes that grace galactic centers.

Sprung
Onoma Mar 2017
Having spake pishposh to

naked trees, booming baritone,

what once shrunk with cold

began to unscrew.

Lacquered limbs from hyperextensions

of daylight, a sensuous twiddle

caught fingers, they began combing

a tongue for hair.

Slipping the ***** of its unpronounceable

fever, Mount Parnassus pitched

heights, as an uncanny greenery loosed

the lips of poetry.

Phanopoeia
Onoma May 2018
having descried a
day's bathing
image--
loosely christened
by running
transparencies.
lambently
blind as a stone's
stone throw--
prepossessed of
distance.
exhortations of:
retain thy image!
wholly bisected--
thus intersected by
what beholds as the
consequence of retain.
oblations continually
raised up with dull squints--
to please the heights of overseers.
oblations continually lowered
down with torches--
to please the depths of under-seers.
our juxtapositional brilliance's
harvested, by a static field
of meditation.
salient points of etheric half turns,
suggest a circle already completed.
retain thy image--as time compositely
sketched.
fugitive thy reality.
*The use of words in poetry to suggest visual images.
