SILHOUETTE

Now I am
Veiling winsome retro
Amid square gallery of painted dreams
Seekin' flotsam dews in paranoia
Shadows of a cast - tears and laughter
Endless staring over fading bliss, wined madness
All in a leaden jasper, I possess
I‘m not sick of doubt, worn in time
For secrets within weird emotion.
Lesion of winter kindled the truth
Thru the endless nights. my chained mystique
Reviling past in vast flurry of regrets
Where smokes over hazy cloud hurlin'
Melted moments in idle sobriety,
Heart, soul and birth of a fray
Building conceits in gales of despair.
Twice as hard this dismay
In sardonic accord - words get wound
In my feuding graffiti
Losin' another essence.

And sylvan silence of nocturne
Across westside window, wishing galore
Pledge a heart & calm the eyes before storm.

In river long contempt for a hoisted truth
I decorate the dawn thru night
Scaring fences round cliffs of desire.
Goin' thru autumn demise where
Off day oddity grinning' revival.

And my time is cured
Be nearer the break of a day, far again -
My heart at ease and vision blurred again
At the pavement of luxury.

Thats how the grimaces impel
Curdle the carnation within my arcane cloud
And all the faces in moment's choir
Cradle my polished desire
In simmering promise -

I Quit then, days tempted - yet
Reaching the gates of early dawn
For colors of disgrace.
