Altruistic Arson
lipton Feb 2019
September is the bleakest month;
Orange leaves Over green grass
Sweet life into compost
Smothering the fields in a blanket of sol
Abstracts ever further the sacred goals

Fresh flower
Young; untouched; anew
Grows tall to see
What it thought it knew

To join the Dance to take the chance
To live as we all once did; like a bird in the sun or
A man on the run;
unfettered; good weathered;
Real Fun
Undone

The fool turned empress
Desperate(dying) to impress
Rides a star studded chariot
Into a thick wood

They took trips in the summers
Ate bread, smelled flowers
A warm memory on a long winter's day

We descend upwards in a ring
Unreal We just sing
A bed of indolence
Shined only by the longing rays of hope

Shrouding Towers, shrouded themselves
A sweet candy haze fades with the days.

Bearded face breathes Opens  
to see a dense wood
Trees 30 wide and 1000 tall

Packed like a box of matches
No crampons or rope
Growing sick unable to cope
You unsheathe the stone and shine and strike set this horrid wood alight

Son of man, Of putrid rock
Child of none, accept the clock
Burn the red city to disembark

Adrift at sea takes
A wide berth to
Find a ghastly dearth
Turn side face; unlace; and jump
Dive deep
After the shimmering fluke I can catch it i'm the best not like the rest
At my behest I need a rest
But I have an exam I can’t sleep now
I’ll fail and wail and survive the flock

Eyes of pearl no more
Elucubrate and grow warm
Apricate, eat a date
To wonder of wander;
To wait for weight;

A throne of ash;
An undrawn curtain;
A burning Desire for anything certain;
A bird barks Clang Clang Clang and you know not any such things
Can be found;
But alas a plentiful harvest as the house of glass ever warms.

— The End —
