Could live—did live—
Could die—did die—
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not,
To introduce his soul.

Could go from scene familiar
To an untraversed spot—
Could contemplate the journey
With unpuzzled heart—

Such trust had one among us,
Among us not today—
We who saw the launching
Never sailed the Bay!
Duncan Brown Jul 2018
The heart is written on the page
Unavoidable in the empty space
Occupied by that tender rage
Unfolding in the patterned lace
Weaving words beyond their age

Each soul of scribing innocence
Traverses the lettered landscape
Seeking that treasured sentence
And a beautifully poetic escape
In the darkened light of experience

More in joy filled fields we furrow
An’ less in borrowed crying pity
Memory, the heartache of tomorrow
Reminds us of the mortal humility
Hidden inside our treasured sorrow

Struggling for another sacred word
That takes us somewhere different
Untouched unseen and unheard
Even blessed as the fragrant scent
Drifting in the untraversed firmament

History is the shadow written presently
And oft’ times an enlightened tragedy
Lurking like a lark in lyrical symmetry
Weaving the future’s heavenly story
So beautifully funny a divine comedy.

Show me your warranted outrage
Show me your unjust acts
Marking history with hues of shame
Coloring your very existence

Show me your broken parts
Show me places in you
That have ached for centuries

Show me your women that hold up the sky
Every breath filled with
Hope for a tomorrow that is able to be hopeful
But knowing that any moment
Their only joy can be ripped from their hearts
Breathing that hopeful sad prayer that's been handed down for generations
To daughters in dishes
That neither nurish nor please the palate

Show me your countless legacies of pain
Trying to live the best life regardless
Still striving to shine
Despite this grayish tinge of disdain

Show me your young men
Mob deep in despair
Flailing in probated darkness
Anger deeper than untraversed ocean
For losses untold but still felt

Show me systems designed
To align your neck with ground
And yet you survive

Show me something
Anything that can earn my sympathy
And garner my respect
I dare you

Your manliness flourishes
Like a sweet-scented sunflower
Like a mesmerizing melody
Suffused with rhapsody
Your spectacularity carries me
To the rarest and picturesque paradise
Your bright beauteous skin
Is the smoothest and sexiest attraction
That I fervently thirst to clasp

Feel the sweet sheer ecstasy
****** chocolate champagne eyes
How they pierce my vessel
Transports me to untraversed areas
Your charmingness excites my world
Makes me float in rich, azure, and hypnotic oceans
My emotions are out of control
As I marvel at your thick rigid pole in motion

You are smooth dancing perfection
Your dopeness sets me afloat
Makes me crave for your wild side
To feel your body weaving with mine
Climb inside my chamber of creativeness
Enamor my thoughts
Seep your hands into the extremities of my luscious labyrinth
Indulge in my sweet tenderness

Stare into my electrified eyes
*** me on this wildly intoxicating night
Make me see marvelously sparkling myriad stars
When your flesh interlocks with mine
Your voice is a glorious delight
That stokes my emotions in motion

I melt like hot chocolate cakes
Your bold, fragrant, and delicious chest send me adrift
I ache to navigate the tempting trails to ecstasy upon your body
Kiss your silky, heavenly shoulders
Squeeze and tease your dark stiff *******
Travel in your thrilling tides of bliss
Relishing your flawless sparkling framework
Psychosa Sep 1
A duality stirs within me.

A horned goat flashes its blood stained teeth,
with an evanescent haze that traps me in its vengeful gaze.
How I crave a blood so sweet,
one that only the goddesss Lilith could serve cold enough to eat.

Wrath consumes my mind, with a power that deludes.
Kali Ma grants me her weapons of destruction,
oh how I yearn to embody her death dance.

Yet my heart is pulled by the goddess of love.
She enchants me once more,
and the veil of an imago wraps my yearning heart within.

I am neither the Kali nor the Aphrodite, for both lie within.
As above, so below,
as the shadow, so the soul.
May Baphomet guide me down this untraversed path,
and may all who stand in my way feel the power of my wrath.
