Metaphors and Fantasies
AtticusAbbey Mar 16
******* in a dream of metaphors and fantasies
and seduction, how decadence rules the mind's
obsession with harlots in literature dipping my ink
into the abyss of fragrant air and shallow breath
melting into ash in front of an empty mirror, bleeding
from the heart in a dream of metaphors and
fantasies

My Sweet Mama
AtticusAbbey Mar 22
From the stirrups, my ***** hung  
succulent plums my widow swung
little worth a spoon of salt dripping
as she chills on ******* of ice  
just me and my frozen cadaver
from my quill's poetic anthologies
on her pale blue ***** smacking
worn saddle hide leather cracking

Coffee Diem
AtticusAbbey Mar 17
Exposing my personality like a mirror reflecting  
emotions in the vivid imagery of thought through a    
kaleidoscope, becoming my "self"    
  
expressed by the anatomy of my soul surviving    
the pendulum of longevity with a pen of the known    
and unknown and the concept of "self"    
  
as a guest upon the shore of my identity to be alone    
in my desserts without wings to fly, but I dream of    
nature and amnesiac insomnia listening to "self"      
  
content to be my mother's son in patterns of design    
to be the best of me without explanation or fanfare    
of what yet is to become, "self and coffee diem"

Crimson Red Overhead
AtticusAbbey Mar 14
A leaf trembles like someone's heart
Succumbing to autumn in a moment
Twilight casts a beautiful glow
Somewhere over the horizon
Maple put on a crimson brocade
In the grove, carpets are spread
Variegated form multicolored leaves
Cold breath, a sweetish **** aroma

As oaken leaves turned to amber
Soon to fall from oaken twigs
Like a magical lamp in the twilight
A crimson red from overhead
Of eggnog's golden haze
Leaving the world a midnight blue
Dreaming dreams that trees do
Until the snow begins to fall

Scintilla Vertigo
AtticusAbbey Mar 13
Scintilla vertigo crimson petals
eyes beneath the widow's veil
whispering to the tuxedo
listening to the dew
in long tails of bamboo

Birds On The Wings
AtticusAbbey Mar 24
Shepherds of wildflowers seed    
when the birds are on the wings
and the Autumn winds sing  
the oaks fall the acorns  
until the leaves have yellowed  
and scamper down the grass
as nature bounds the sheaves  
when the birds are on the wings

Aisle Three
AtticusAbbey Mar 13
I don't owe my soul to the boogeyman
or a seductress in a wild bikiniย ย 
just a loner with a peekaboo mindย ย 
with a jalopy as my chariot
a shop full of booksย ย 
and my cat Mr. Thingamabobย ย 
but the air is clean
and the conversations are freeย ย 
if you will only try to communicate
with a ghost in aisle three

Wooded Greens
AtticusAbbey Mar 16
A fortune in Autumn's leaves of gold
once held by trees of wooded greens
now carpets of cornets and greetings  
to welcome a Genesis of a new day
listening to the silence of God whisper...
Amen
AtticusAbbey Mar 24
Scorning the essence of Autumn
a cold bruise of a pale shadow
excommunicated by landlords
of nature's beanery, weeping,
in the feral moonlight
with no time for the Wisteria
undisturbed in poetic words
and the habitat of the bees
now sleeping with narcissists

Corroded Delirium
AtticusAbbey Mar 25
On moonlit graze and barbed wire
in my mind's corroded delirium
all alone in my aged old woolies  
gathering death's frost burn  
echoes knocking on twilight's door
with a force of death, dark harkens
a cold hearth of chimney stone
candles dripping glooming pixels
as the coroner studies my bones
