Terminal
Connor Smith Mar 2015
I've seen you in my dreams again
It starts off all the same
I glide through the crowd and latch
On to the sphere of your being

Like children meeting
We laugh and it feels like spring
This is how it's supposed to be
And my longing is no more

I hold fragments of our time
And watch them dissolve
Repeating the scenes
So the essence can remain

Yet there is no forever
For it's lost in the brain
My terminal shatters
But amends when we sleep

Solvent
Connor Smith Apr 2014
He wrote sigils of the world with air.

Pursued upon every street and grove,
attempts to writhe free are unwarranted;
Though in what way could escape mean separation?

Cast over rifts like a falling mist,
paradigms lay sedimentary
mediating sight as a membranous
pseudo preface to the essential.

This alluvium breathes, drawing inward
consecrating the dreaming idol;

We had found a stitch in space
where mortals wield no bodies.
Now subtle coagula are vessels enough
So temporal wills decay.

Join the aether;
Through the high cascade
some remember first knowing Self
akin to parting breaths in absentia.

This is our amniotic solvent;

The cycle stops repeating;  
A ceaseless inception
compressed upon Eternity.  

Our beginning remembers the end.
We found the gold in October.

Gratitude
Connor Smith Feb 2013
On the night I flushed my head
Herbs offered in moonlight's grace  
- Surrendered self now posed like lead -
I felt you kiss my silent face
And hold my eyelids fast
To save your eternal child
So I could be a watchman
Once more.

Monk Queen (Anahata)
Connor Smith Feb 2013
Let us lay in endless greens, and symbiotically allow the day
A simple spinning about the omphalos of heart’s creation

I want to feel the rapturous entanglement of our atoms
Bursting in fruition as melismatic chiming sighs

And in this becoming, vernal musings with parameters repealed,
We glimpse an eternal oculus by sapid lips shared


In this essence chased through time and captured by the instance
Your quantum passion yearns toward the receptacle of prophecy

I, the oracle form a forecast in rhythm’s *****
To find that the plexus of forever pulsates beneath your skin and mine

An Offering
Connor Smith Feb 2013
Somewhere sequestered in the Baphomet brain
Hemispheres destroy logic while creative bliss reigns
And waning in expression the intellectorus knot forms
Above the neck and below the skull
Choked once more in doubt’s unwelcome swarm
I hitch the rope to Sun’s post and
leap
before
the end

Remnant #1
Connor Smith Feb 2013
The primitive revision,
A sign eastward glistened
Glyphs beyond the walls we
rose in solstice greetings. Listen,
hear the swelling rhythm -
Peregrine crests are where the
seal is written. Our serpent's guile
had the children smitten, and lost in
the cave they're baited and bitten.

42 Lumens
Connor Smith Feb 2013
You are like a paisley sunrise -
A tapestry of gorgeous spirit.
Your sheets radiant with laughter
Are patchouli spiced dances
In the sweltered tunings of cooling dusk.

Now Eros' altars wafting incense;
Sepia backbones stir spectral sighs.
Poised for splendid primal reckonings
Back door brains melt lucid minds
For in fluidity we thrive.

Through eyeing eternity
the prophecy is absolved
By monastic deflection I
Gained what the animals saw

Gypsy moth set your passion in plaster
Metamorphosis looms wherein
Wings strive thereafter

Static enough to wane,
my iotas oscillate out
as the last
eye
shuts to dusk.

Dew through a pellucid mind
collected in what was my body's basin;
This whispering pool
contriving my new face.

Where countenance radiates concentrically
Up, up into the Ibis'  spacial noise
coalescing Tefnut's will and mine
to ecstasy
as rain.

Bildungsroman
Connor Smith Nov 2012
(Mangroves shake the boy
Rapture tempts his will-
He will not eat tonight.
Only blue shades fill
a hole so deep
covered
with
ashes

                                                    he
                                                eats
                                              - Himself -
                                          an ardent fill
                                          of bruised light,
                                      like chimeras on
                                            the mantel.)

Vernal Equinox
Connor Smith Nov 2012
{ Full to brimming madness
A shaded blot of tin
Flumes for eyes
And the fire to fertilize
Croaked behind the wind. }
 
( Patched of a day's quilt
The moths of aperture
Spirited away the dusk
To the vestal mouse
Whose heart doth thrum sure. )
 
[ Of extolled breath
Chambered nubility 
Did shy to the hand
In which 'twas held:
Invariably. ]
 
/ In all paintings hung
Bereft of blemishes to sting,
Fibrin inks touching canvas
Evoke the rumbling stream;
The renascence of Spring. \

Garnet
Connor Smith Nov 2012
***** of echoes, the virile resonance quaking lust -
Throbbing caverns shudder to ****** inciting vestal musk
Entranced of nocturnal bedevilment - barefaced in galactic greens,
Spores ethereal yet concealed to the Queen

Sumptuous omphalos; her ecstatic womb engulfing the bloom,
Carnal reckonings devoid of Mosaic release as panting creatures swoon
Vigorous pollination morphing the nectarean sheath
Roused stamen shrivel in an animus induced retreat

Again we'll rise to salute our idol
In burning continuance:
Fertility extolled
With pleasure recompensed.

The Shortness of Years
Connor Smith Nov 2012
Time so fleetingly chastises the womb
Wherein all life's illusions swoon.
Embezzled like spring's petaled earthen love
The art form's swallowed once famine's begun.
 
Extruded through shapes devoid of angles
No more will the process be found to dangle
Above heads of ravenous vultures. Now
The swine submits before the sow.
 
Who now does this frame become,
when all the insides and colors run?
How did once this child breathe, 
Before smooth skin had turned to leaves?
 
In all the time it took to capture
The memories here, and there after
Sunrise form and Sunset break,
Years elongate by Eternity’s wake.

Sybilline Sister
Connor Smith Nov 2012
A gliding entity between ecstasy, my eyes grew from seeds
to inversely unbounded trees, oxidizing, breathing into the collective
a collection eclectic; the ripening ages convene the gods' pallette
so mortal and clean.  From the vantage of mauve mountains,
beholders pressed through the ravine.  "The bewildered be wild"
She crooned on to me.  


Deepening the night, scintillant ancestors dug
with Light, unearthing cherished retinal prints.
The vulpine maw imposed no sin, indigo glow
and a patina sheen, feral bliss had greased
the chain.  Lineages span millennia as scions cast
the sacred Heron, spear of the World beyond
the eros plane.

So She crooned on to me
Her sybilline Dream.

The Breathing Mandala
Connor Smith Nov 2012
Strike a mark on a sun kissed shrine
Cheek bones, dance within the sand's light -
Lambent spore sprig -Rot - beneath the mine
Lay the tourniquet fused, marble eyes.

Center stark stork - wracked to atomic bliss
Forked tongue minotaur, auric troubadour -
Machinations of bellowed amethyst,
Composed the flowered Aum, raising thy *******.

Arachnid's webbing - strung of turquoise beads -
By what are the viscid lines severed clean
That they convolute binaural progeny,
And lure the soul to breathe?

— The End —
