INNERVATION

1

MENTE

Un-pulsed incessant colonnades warp nonplussed replies

Tranquil touched expression veils a vortex beneath

At once the size of a brow and a heedless leviathan

Tirades of militants accost stagnant harmonies

A vociferous monomachy made of one, longing for squalls

Unfounded sortilege; errant predictions made of false speculations

Words afloated adrift

Broken upon a trough

Another one in two

Split upon a thought

The world’s dream pervading

The myriad others in your abode

Toiled sought significants, a miser’s incantations

Her words become your parlance, unintended purloining

A brood has grown from external volition

Forced hands to cloud rippled matter

Rifles slung fully loaded to press other’s worldly views

Of love worked from pensivity, enchantment’s avarice

Implanted growths; a grafting vernacular ready for the pyre

Tethered to preoccupation

The shattering of shackles

A sketch of a twinned blade

Holdfast, strike out the cacophony

Vigorously entrenched senses

Rue this day’s realized Matsuro

Hers and his words: leadened action

Essence

You are born in the morning

A thing of flesh: muscle, sinew, skin, bones

Bound to this earthly body and full of wanting

The need for physical satisfaction: food, water, shelter, coition

- of the purely unknown external

ordered and rigid by these emoted urges

Each day we start with a lie

To ourselves first; then followed suit

So many unaware, so many half-eye-lidded

Seeking sunlight over balance

Seeking joy over contentment

Wallowing in want

Unaccepting of their sojourner state

An ennui to act as maggots

Shearing those unavailing limbs to a tonsure

Unsheathed despair will provide the soul sustenance

The body is blind as it feels it’s wanton carnal happiness

-in its discontentment:

momentary pleasure for long-term death

Routine to build discipline must now break

The Venture is nigh

Take with you that which is ordered


4 Witch’s Revenant

 
 

A torrent grown of the hands of all those loved

The dampest of cold heat gripping at your throat

The warmest of bodies turned asunder

That weight bears no fruits of protection

There is no guardian present

With the sweetest of tasteless flesh, that harlot draws near

A corpse made of you

An eye to grow pale

The beauty of temptation drawn to copulation

She’ll make a man of you yet

Born out of the canopies of floor boards, he drops

There, in the moment of ecstasy, do you see the climate toil

This is panic driven pleasures of all those failings brought to fruition

Thatched gender and pus drowned hands

The Revenant offers terrified hope

Engorged by looks of lasting lust, this momentary murder of immortal joy

A corpse made of you

An eye to grow pale

The beauty of temptation drawn to copulation

She’s made a boy of your resolve

And the hideous royalty has the appearance of comely hair

The strands meant for the gentlest of caresses, combed to perfection

Thick glass of skin that appears soft to the touch yet razored on reality

They were made out of lost affections, these many becoming one, becoming many

The Spell-Weaver’s snare of personal candy

Succulent longingness meets unfettered desperation, a final plea for honesty

A corpse made of you

An eye to grow pale

The beauty of temptation drawn to copulation

That child in you is unrequited zeal set loose

Endless turned Corners of bleak corridors

This conjurer has given you the best gift yet

Freed from the endless pursuit of happiness

You are ready to flay those layers

Become that which is higher

Submitted to the whelm of her whim

Content in your contempt, a cerebral maze is your last graceful escape

She has the rest of you to her future’s lonesome

Ether

A Tonic of the forest floor

Cool amidst the stifle of entangled touches of the past

Relief and respite after the maddening whirl

A face shown back to its sympathy

Alain, of olde Celtic harmony

A stone to ripple the fog

Stoic post-long-term toil

A climate fixed to permanence

The Witch’s Revenant now a memento of time worn

A reward of blackened reminders

The resolve now a gasp

Light of the most gentle embrace

The slope is clear and the rain is comforting

Despite the suffocating failures of character

The heat of primevalence is a blanket against the cold

-You’ve Never Felt Warmer

Alain, of olde Celtic harmony

A stone to ripple the fog

Stoic post-long-term toil

No confusion of the saddest of raptures

Your name now recovered and the path made beautiful

Chaos is the weaponry to remain staunched

Imperiousness as a tool to shield

Rain to quench your thirst, summer suns to keep you secure

~all gusts, to forge on with~
