A Soul Which Forsakes Vision



A Soul Which Forsakes Vision 

I spin in infliction upon my barren stretch of the smitten lands that once held life with strength. But I have become beaten, my breath no longer an apron to catch the stains of my soul.

I have begun the end of the beginning, I have been bitten. The vampire phantom of the broken has come for my salvation. Its palate distinguished for this exact occasion, surely my crimson blood shall be forgiven. 

Blood thirsty have I become in my wake of passive caution in the ingestion of toxins. Slay me of my burdens, strain me of tension, bring me addiction to the poisoning of my vision.

Leave me blackened as one would be in the annihilation of the sun. Allow me the appeasement of death from the inhalation of the deceased.

As if caught in disease of the maddened. Strip me of my muscles of the mental and bring madness to my beacon. I am now up for auction, the highest bidder take my canon.

Fire me from your tongue and let me do your bidding. I have been swallowed by the hollow and am as cold as the lungs of Norseman. But I carry no blade for my protection as I am driven in the purchase of an omen.

 I am now merely an organ, and instrument to filter the wishes of another. No options align for me, I am an orphan of my own doing.

Stripped of passion, a body of no reason. Ripen, will I not, as I rot in the fallen of this vast titan. My lips thicken in the swollen submission of silence. I threaten with no resistance, I reek in the sulking of my existence.

I am barren in my wishes, my prayers, I fall from my mountains. My feet bear no traction, my soul stands at the toll, paying for my trodden Trojan of life.

Defiled have I allowed myself, damnification is what I inhale. I once held grandeur of Eden, but have brought that to fiction.

Forsaken I speak, as I lust in the fusion of the heathens. Empty, hardened, a fission of foreign motion. A blur of pessimism has risen, a sail of no direction but the disillusionment of my pitied eruption.

I collapsed among my own dilation of discipline as I dissected my dysfunction. But became contorted my distortion of what is to be perfection.

What expression is left but that of expulsion of my own exemption. To pry me from any hope of extraction, give me famine. For that is what I deserve in this ill adaptation as I have summoned in the abomination of the vulgar.

I pray for clarification, but I fear I am to far gone for the filtration of my decisions.

A Summer Bird's Winter Perch

A Summer Bird's Winter Perch   I watch this lonely bird chirp upon a slopping branch. Its feet wrapped firmly around the thin finger of bark. As I watch, I commiserate its position. Sitting there, alone, singing with no others to listen. Speaking I assume, to itself.   Maybe contemplating its unfortunate circumstance. For the rest had already left for the winter. If I am not mistaken it was only a few days ago that I watched a flurry of birds dart by. Their wings flapping against the brisk wind collectively. Not a single one appeared worried of their journey.   Their shadows crawled quickly across the empty streets during a fall evening. I watched them pass by like a feather floating down stream. I couldn't help but wonder, how long must they fly? What winds must they fight, what elements must they battle against? All must be against them as is every moment in time is against us all?   Yet they fly forth to the heat of earth. Dependent upon their survival but, what

  Step Out! Out, Out from the gloom, The obscure breath of doubt Take stone, break thy yoke, Let trouble fall, let shoulders be lifted, Flow, to the heavens Be but strain no more, Open wide, thy mouth, Let prayer fill thy tongue Be parched no more. Stillness in heart  Though seas roar like lions, And beast snarl among mist, Step,  Out! To mercy of life, Ease, be reborn. Let no shackle of past Be meaning for tear Take hammer,  Fracture the cumbersome Be feet of swift Fill your days with strides, Though dunes widen And heat scorches thy soles. Out, Step out from thy fear, There is another to call To breach, To reach your heart  Though thee be of man, Let not thy eyes of flesh Be the dealings of truth, Wander, In aspect to be whole Be not the coward hidden in cave, A creature curled  Like frightened doe, For he walks beside thee, Like king among his men, A sword of greatness Sways from his belt, Ready, To swing against thy enemies, A presence more bold  Than all the stars of a pitch sky.
