Empty-
she tends the corner of the aisle
by the Altar of Sins,
inspecting freckled sun fade
in conquering shadows,
picturing forlorn day-dreams
until the day-dreams blend
with nightmares -
she falls asleep
He proposes
to stab the incubus
with his artifacts of masculinity
until they crawl back
into a nebulous nothingness
whence only her bitterest fears
had facilitated
to creep forth…
his first service
to her ‘built-in’ town,
which, to its own humiliation,
had endured the souvenir of
an Egyptian darkness,
or worse, of Skepticism,
here in the midst of
a Garish city
"Confide;
you intrigue me
for how can we
arrive ‘at it’
unless we dig a little?”
The present has such a coarse plan
for treading ‘it’ down.
there are new manifestations,
novel dramas,
kisses, gropings, tears, and yet
threading new strands
in blurred warp and woof
of something they term
‘a moment.’
"I am better off," he screams,
she beholds
the ghostly shuttle of dreams
shattering -
in a psychological loom
he knows, she knows
he never wished to set it off
or cared for
an illumination from
‘that’ shuttle or ‘those’ dreams
what he desired was
to flaunt it before her eyes, and insert
a prohibitive price over it..
Labels: poetric(s), shenanigans, vent-elation
"Confide;
you intrigue me
for how can we
arrive ‘at it’
unless we dig a little?”
Awesome! I cannot quite describe in words how intense each of these lines are!
Wonderful work!

I wish we could post images on comments; that first stanza suggests many.
Your poetry is very suggestive of images. There is probably a word for that, that not comes to me.

Facebook seems to me to be the exemplar of short term memory, interruption, and banal conversation.
Sorry Zuckerberg!!

hehe.. true.. I rather enjoy the bantering though.. on the other hand am quite happy these days .. it seems I've got my mental peace back.. and I actually feel like writing something worthwhile instead of whiling away the time in banalities.
