simple pleasures
of the night

bound in opaque blur
simple pleasures of company

small talk

portraits of wavering morality
pleasure of thought and silent contemplation
pleasure of the stirring midnight road
wound together in startling harmony
pleasures of touch, scent and fleshy wounds
pleasures in the dual-nature-bound isness & wobbling on it's own axis as memories align to dreams of pure being
transitional pleasure of lifetime excitement
constant pull of inward motion onward through
toppling out into the very stew of existence
lapping up and latching onto stony shoreline basking in radiant glow of the sun
praying for the gentle continuum of moments disengaged

O' Once!

& O' May it go further still!

til' total evaporation of conscious boundaries erected in vain

needlessness

meandering backward in hollow corridors
with only the waxing yellow glow of the idol,
the specter which stalks the air
& who clutches falsely at ambient essence
& becomes thrown down through the passage
exposed wholly and beautifully delusional before the feet of the undeniable mountains
