Always a grain of hope
Pressed into these soft
Edges
You call lust
Chrome blush
Blooming in your trust
Shading in the veins of your leaf
As I sway myself to sleep
Glistened gazes shut
Once
I mark you
Unplugged
As vulnerable as I ever am
You grow naked ever more

Petrified with a tired song
Of metal you call rust
Hold me
Once
I'm gone

When all the world’s ablaze
I will hold you loosely
Loosen our tenure
Of life in qualm
In daze
Of longing
Of something better

Feel.

However pale with every yawning
Know that you are freeing
See that you are slipping
Distant
Within my reach
Finally conceding
All of life lived being
All of tumultuous jeering

Carry me along
The pedal flows
The branches' growth
And everything
But your glow
Iridescent luster

Here, I stand
A part of this whole, I refute
Apart, part cosmos, part man
Here
I stand
In all that I constitute

Lost is he who sees not all, but all’s despair
Far too gone is he who knows nowhere

Reason for being settles on foreign ground
Irreconcilable mood without a frown

Carry me along
The kettle’s moan
The slanted hope
And everything
But your story
Gust of air, left bare

Cursed is he who grasps your silenced glory
Rust encrusted journey
Your truth has set me free.

Heed to the comforts
Within the glow of plague
Compass the outskirts
With your elapsed face
Bring nothing
But a taste
Graze everything
Without a trace
Listen
To the whips of pace
To the rumble of roots
Drenched in pain.

Do you listen to the song the dolphins sing?
So familiar and so distant
Let me sing to you of the soft blooming and the dumbing down of rust

The deep darkness sleeps, as your eyes clinch
Linger the fold away with not another blink

Inhale the moist stench of pity's salty breeze
I'm standing on the vanilla frosted mountain you can not reach.
