Her Smiling Eyes Took FlightHer cheeks bend the corners in her eyes
Into eagle wings when she would smile,
Thinks twice of me then flies my way,
Warmly perched on my desires awhile,
But her footsteps have now been lifted;
She had been headshot, the man bolted,
And her mortal form just then, exalted.

We the Poets- Veiling LustWe,
The poets.

INVENTED
Love.

Through fabled fingers spouting metaphoric bliss,
Losing ourselves in their entrapping eyes,
Forgetting who we are,
Forsaken for our words.

Lost.

For what we think is love, we feel,
But only through our staggered breaths,
And stained innocence.
Beneath the dimming streetlights,
Hiding away in darkness.
A dress code less than strict.

A dance we needn't learn the steps to,
To a song that only we ascribe the lyrics.

Beneath the veil of something more,
The animal stands pacing.
And every touch,
Leaves our hearts racing,
Eyes locked,
Facing.
Gracing yearning lips with simple touch,

Lust only co

EnzymaticIn my tears I drowned for you
when my cries could not grow fingers to r e a c h ;
you were apathy wrapped in silent smiles,
which touched and made to feel.

I felt you—discovered you,
like children sent scavenging for
hidden notes and clues;
you were a jagged jigsaw puzzle
lovingly pieced together…

Done in silence,
through studied observations
and tentative smiles aimed at shoulder blades;
you would never grant me access
if you knew my subtle intimacy…
left one-sided and aching like
goodbyes rolled into single nights of warm

Silence's FearSound, sound, sound
On the drums in my ears, music!
Play them so what's in me hears
And all that's silenced in me fears
Ambiances and voices I want around
Whenever I am devoid or muse sick.

Be with me when what's mine is no more mine
Til' Death gives birth to maggots invoked to fly
When I'm a rotting host of all I knew in a snooze,
And the soot slurps the blood, smooth red wine.
Blood is memory, so long it moves Man's sinews
And sound on ears receive, music will never die!

The Onlooker's Doom - SonnetAcross from me an intricate babe is bathing by the rocks,
Tracing down her fair skin with a sea sponge to a sheen,
And I can only assume she looks to me about nineteen,
Firmly pulling at her lengthy, heavy, auburn rusty locks,
Laded with silver barnacles, algae, my desires and my bliss,
Where water spills over her fervent face, guilt-laden bosom,
Then down her lusty ducts where it floods off the perineum;
Slowly nearing, brooding over, the feeling I'm to pay for this.
Her voice is an immanent one, the mutest tear on the cheek,
Somehow can be heard repeating the words, "Onlooker's doom!"
This army of heads emerges from the sea, "It was just a

Almost Always An Almost - an epigramForgive my grief for the one misplaced,
But an empty love's an effort's waste;
And when in reaching I'm sclerosed
To a life that's almost always an almost.

As I Saw Death - SonnetI'm withered fabric in the face,
Wind's blowing frays into the skin
And I got a mouth full of craters
(In and out, a maggot's playpen)
Spindling furrowed facial quilts,
Messing them up 'til they wilt
Just to wrinkle youth's grace
By putting lives through the graters!
Pleased to meet you wingless guests,
Born into then grounded in the world,
Wriggling in Mother's arms she furled;
I'm a thief to steal you from her breasts!
The name is Death bebe
And there's no getting away from me!

The Sleeping GeniusCut-along-the-dotted-lines

are painted around my head
just to provoke the curiosity
in the world of what is here.

An interest has pried open my boney thatch
where the nest to a sleeping bird is at rest,
home it seems to a mangled up Flamingo
and many thoughts to bizarre walks of life,
residing here in these pink pulsing halls.

Now my brain is removed, eyes attached,
a dizzy pink bird coming out of sleep.
That one-legged bastard look at it go!
It's hopping, my going mind is hopping
around the world on its cerebellum.

Synopsis - Big BangThe Big Bang is an emptied bullet shell,
Once encasing, stuffed with life;
Now its enigmas leave us spacing.
This I know and I know it too well!

God's swirling, spinning shot in the darkness is readied,
and Big Bang shrapnel fragments will litter the cosmos,
one banging into another with double-stop explosions.

Bang! Orbs of light, creation scattered,
By God; He pulled the trigger!
"Dang!" All the world chattered,
But doubtful men would snigger.

Stars are God's smudged fingerprints in the void,
And asteroids, childhood rocks He'd kick around
In the dawn of creation now making their round.

In Memoriam - MariSilver wired windows riddle the webbing
Of some crafty fiend above me, sinking,
On his furled bedmate drinking, drinking;
The crawling sea beneath me's 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 letting up on the brawn,
The very last bolt reverberates to a thud!

Vapid are the halls without a sound,
Vapid now as to fill a vagrant soul,
And only through the fixture's bowl
The twitchy light eyeballing the ground.

Love DisposalI forgot her name by dismantling that beautiful face,
Cripple her sleek legs to forget how she would walk,
Choke her 'til wordless to forget how she would talk,
And now I purge her sensuous frame in a furnace case.

Then there are times I like to think myself an Illusion Slayer
Jumping in her dreams where, just over her wishful palace,
There lies the desire for some other and a hanging phallus;
Descending from the heavens here I come to strike it down!

She is a chainless anchor I casted to an endless salty sea
Where her steel nerves will tingle and powder to rust
With those thoughts and things of me from in her bust,
And I so kind pour in a

Choking To Death Was Never So Peacefulevery time she comes around i catch my breath,
if i breathe too loud i might blow her away.
one too many times i've let her slip through my fingers like sand
and i refuse to take that chance again.

so i hold my breath to keep you here,
i'll slowly suffocate in your arms.
your heart next to mine drowns out the screaming in my lungs.
if i wake up in the morning without a pulse,
it's because i fell asleep with a smile on my lips.

Liberate the MindStronger than myself,
but weaker;
a varying constant, if possible at all.

I can trust in the cycles of confidence
to the heavy weight of
worthlessness, but can give not pattern or apathy
to the event,
only aching bouts of shame,

for holding the head high,
shoulders back and squared in certainty
brings much exhaustion, which then
allows easily the act of hunching in
to keep from bleeding out.

Perhaps I will adapt like clever chameleons
who excel in hiding and
camouflage;
and perhaps hypocritical smiles will cease
encouragement to fraudulent behavior,
which always bring out simulated bests
in me.

Navy BlueHe's an old alcoholic,
and he grips his bottle with a hand of the working class.
The other lightly clasps a lit cigarette,
it's smell faint to his aged nose.
He has a story to tell,
but no one cares to look his way.

An old war hero,
he never bragged.
Sailed three seas away,
his beaten glasses were all he had.

He came home to a loving embrace,
a humble look on his face,
but after quiet years at home,
the divorce hit him where it hurt.

Living alone,
the shame ovetook him.
With a puff and a sip,
he finally lost his mind.

He had a soldier's funeral,
twenty one shots graced the air.
And on that day,
he finally didn't have a ca

The Ultimate MistakeEvil’s ultimate mistake depends on a guess God’s punishments are fantasies and thus will never be suffered for plotting, rehearsing, and actuating caustic prophecies and revelations — except nature’s daily moods — even if it means adorning seemingly pious idols with hidden-in-sight, exotic figures and symbols to do their duties and cunning, intently frightening a world into doing what evil knows society’s majority will do, or else endure the consequences and sacrifices in a harrowing list borrowed from God.

we are all looked at; someone wants us;
too far from home; they cannot have us;
chance(s) left behind, then we are taken

Now look at us; that is not an option!
Years into tomorrow's future yesterday
we are too worn and gray wearing baggy
Halloween faces with no treats to offer
anymore, and no one wants us, not ever,
in every attractive passing but sometimes,

to give false hope someone, anyone cares.

Mute Say - Sonnet

by ~VicariouSoul, Sep 6, 2012, 7:06:52 PM
Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Traditional Fixed Forms

It seems these stifled words for you will always lack music
No matter how smooth or effortless they fall from the vine,
Not ever heard raising a single pitched note into your mind,
And thinking on what to do makes me somewhat muse sick
Knowing words with no tune is just mute say, mute poetry,
A forsaken giant no one sits under, namely the wise Poetree.
Your head is often a mass of undeveloped skull fat flapping
In the wind, and your brain, sand my pressed fingers draw in,
But no matter what messages or 'I'm telling you' premonition,
There they are, erased with every high-rising wave slapping.
Down this fretboard of lines my pen slides, burnin' them all up
By placing a lint of hope in my pocket at its heated ballpoint,
Maturing my words into loud crackling fire eating at the page,
And my lint of hope wishful to be heard now burns with rage!

Mute Say - Sonnetby ~VicariouSoul

Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Traditional Fixed Forms

This is the song [link] by Stevie Ray Vaughn that made my mind go in every direction and
absolutely haywire when writing this, which would explain the relation to the burning via
the lines in the poem referred to as a fretboard on fire, etc. near the end of the Sonnet.

The song is called Rude Mood and my head could hardly keep up, literally.

The rhyme scheme of this Sonnet is ABBACCDEEDFGHH.

This Sonnet is what has vexed me most over anything I have ever written
besides my In Memoriam - Mari taking three whole long years to perfect.
I really had to, how can I say . . . defy and bend the hard-cased steel of my
native tongue (English) to pull this one off. I found myself in many a pause
choked up around the cerebellum to think the words I wanted to put forth.
After maiming hours and maiming hours upon my head it is now complete.

Enjoy the read.
