A Prayer on Wistful Wings by VicariouSoul, literature

Literature

A Prayer on Wistful Wings

Looking over at the empty spot next to me, I sit here and I wonder what you'd be like and look like until my eyes begin to spiritualize the kindness within your heart, and my mind begins to materialize the bone and flesh of your existence, projecting my prayer light-speed for God to bring you closer to me somewhere over the treetops out there in the pandoric universe; you can be anywhere in the world, but you are here, for my prayer, even though I cannot see, descends on wistful wings upon your lap of loneliest moods, vanquishes all doubt by the layer and reaches out to lift your face where you are shown the way home to my warm, irongrip embrace, to relinquish the storm that broods so our souls can worry-free roam a place of far less terrible things forever and forever, you and me.

O precious heart, marriage removed by VicariouSoul, literature

Literature

O precious heart, marriage removed

O’ precious heart, marriage removed: the once-sharp corners of your smile dull, the glistening about your airy eyes dry, the playfulness you once exuded ceased, and the joyful glow to your aura dims just a little more each passing day like the last weeks of a collapsing star, no longer without a care, no longer without a repercussion in mind, parts of you I loved dearly I watch turn and walk away, the essence of you fading for ever and for ever from my fingertips’ reach, leaving me to love the husk of who you were, crackling like a leaf and crumbling inward like the molting exuviae from a locust when I go to embrace you and lean i

A New Poetic Form: The Debonair Septet by VicariouSoul, literature

Literature

A New Poetic Form: The Debonair Septet

A Debonair (or a Debonair Septet), named for its permittance of freedom without rhyme in lines 1, 3 and 5, and named for only being mildly sophisticated, is a 64-syllable poetic form consisting of 7 lines that follows the rhyme scheme: ABCBDEE. The first 6 lines contain 9 syllables each, except the 7th line that must contain 10 syllables. Furthermore, when a Debonair is composed, the 64 syllable count (along with the 7-line count) is there only to challenge the poet’s word use and ideas and not for any other reason like stricter poetic forms that make your word use and ideas seem more forced. While the term debonair often describes so

Literature

Finity, Infinity, Eternity (the Omniverse)

“What is Time?” It is a temporary mathematical number whose initiated 1 is distributed between the living that goes and slows in and out of sync, and our dearest times that have their days increase less, decrease more until no more. Time… Its existence is unknown to every newborn’s shut mind’s eye that has not yet learnt understanding: Time’s distinct numbers get assigned to every embryonic beast and bug, to every nascent cosmic entity (supposed and identified), and to every womb-begotten individual by God (for you to decide is or is not a being or thing of eternal energy) that (or who) formed the a

Looking Out by VicariouSoul, literature

Literature

Looking Out

Looking out from her revisited, marred quaint frame, she sees Vicissitudes in her troubled man's face over her eternal hiatus, Slowly tilting his wet forefinger to the moonlit brooding stratus Beyond the hissing curtains, reaching at heaven's tantalus glees. So there she hangs in winsome temperament within that picture, No more a freak-out nor deeply moved by silly self-discomfiture, Not ever erring, her airy eyes ever staring above the pendulum. "O' Lord," the slumped man invoked, "Bestow me love's laudanum From Thy everlasting divine analgesia for my mind's harried state To forbid these unwelcome, adverse moods trying to permeate!" Still th

In Memoriam - Mari

Silver wired windows riddle the webbing Of some crafty fiend above me, sinking, On his furled bedmate drinking, drinking; The crawling sea beneath me is ebbing. You could hear the waking birds chirrup To the bustling hefty storm just outside, Jolting their nests where they reside As if to be asking, "What's all the stir up?" Now most of the curling clouds are gone, And Heaven's spears gave Earth its blood; Low on the ears, easing up around dawn, The very last bolt reverberates to a thud... My wandering memories so often dwell, Firmly grasping to the Stave of Hope, Though now she's not within my scope, I can never endure the hardest farewel

A Woman's Throne by VicariouSoul, literature

Literature

A Woman's Throne

She is my Queen and I am her throne; Reveling in her Love's mysterious abyss Throws my mood into paroxysmal bliss. God what feral woman you've molded, A beauty who can never be overthrown. Shroud in the night’s velvet dishabille, Her wavy coal tresses drape over me, Ascending and then descending slowly As the lap of my legs clap her backside, Easing our tensions from Life’s bastille. I am never referred to as her King; She instead moans out to me as God, Atheist or not, loudly cries, "Oh God! Mmm-nuh" when I am nothing but a Gentleman turned maniac, knocking. Does He who spiraled down the fire-licking Pit Tease the force in the

The Big Blue Pearl by VicariouSoul, literature

Literature

The Big Blue Pearl

Speckled radiant lights to the cosmos are fitted, And by God's pressing hands and slamming foot, The rolled lands are softened, stomped and pitted Where seeds to erratic gemstones are neatly put. Born in a void from the vivid lanky hands of God, She'd giggle at His pinchings to Her clayed skin Molded into sedge hats and flecked-color plates, And there He beheld Her with a smirk of chagrin: From shore to shore tucked through every crack, Packed in every depth and bunched with slack, Salted and translucent curling mantles are laid: There we have it, seabeds and rivers are made. She smiles in the licking shoreline waves Retrieving us from neg

New Beginnings by DanielDGriffiths, literature

Literature

New Beginnings

I wish that I could start again, not knowing that this moment came, could draw my first deep breath of air and walk through life without a care. If only I could stop the clock, turn back the hands, and then take stock: now, setting off along a course, that steers me further from the source of all this darkness in my thoughts, instead I’d choose another way and firm within the light I’d stay. For, though in shadow I’ve been wrought, there’s nothing here that I have found except these chains in which I’m bound.

Seek by Witherway, literature

Literature

Seek

You left where you were, Gone without a trace, I only locate where you are, After you change place, And I’m searching the spaces, In which you were last seen, While you’re pursuing places, I have formerly been, But footprints are overlapping, Crisscrossing on the ground, You’d think with both us looking, We would be easier found, Yet somehow ‘hide-and-seek’, Is hardest if no one hides, Lost following tracks encircling, The same old rounded sides, For at least if you’re not moving, I can learn where you are not, Alas instead in unison, We are both seeking and sought, It is so much simpler to find, What isn’t looking for you too, Guess i lost something unfindable, Because I still always seek you.

Turn Off the Light by FallenOne23, literature

Literature

Turn Off the Light

There is a road I have been forced to travel.. Waking in to this earth.. eyes wide open, knowing, understanding, feeling the presence of a great un-wholeness from a very young age. I have only been certain of one thing in all of my living days, Something is missing. I have travelled through this life with a Hopefulness.. at times led by only a single candle light, or a fraction of light in the distance through this blinding darkness here on earth.. and here in this moment I am finding myself subdued by the thousands of stitches being woven through my wounds.. sewn by threads of the hopeless. Many have claimed to know my soul from lifetimes pa

Thank you for stopping by, old friend. Life has been busy for me, too, and I am trying to get back to submitting some new literary work, one new piece being "O' precious heart, marriage removed".

Things are going well on my end. Thank you for your concern : )
