Akashic AveA Poem by PerditionThese are the marks of withering seeds. Branches with acidic stems sewn in the grounded frost of lament. Restive worms 'neath the soil of writhe in mind. Akashic Ave, lilting ancient terrors. A dream in the fields biota. A prayer from the hours of rise in moon-pale mist and mortuary rage. Cannibal thoughts spew into the thoughts of my scattered un-wants. Invisible scars impel the tapping of these rancid wells of horrid pain. They scribe laughter into the cantos of my skin Voices, endless leafs as they crow from under black wings of my crypt; Each one pleading like a rising leper, lashing through the noxious wounds of my spleen. Mange colored rats at their young insatiable. Feeding from the core of my crown. Followed nigh by my finality. Flesh-draped The fingers round my tongue. Only silence sleeps now beneath my bed. Hunger fangs to it as never dared hover o'er this thinning. Savoring my one single loss of sight. Yet, thus turns the serf I have deemed. Casting hellish roots beyond the depths...my hook drowned beneath the waters filled with cold phantom doubt; plunging into cruel days of sere. Unswayed by ledges or dimmed, but by the shelter of earlier days. But by the rhythmic voices fashioned taut. The draw of chum and the shard bits of memory; cluttering the distance from my mortal wealth. Truest are the days steeped in ice and baying the hours loudly.
They drive our jaws from this stint of hell. Cloudy hands will quiver...billowing at the devil's cloudy atelier. I aim my nights to the lucidity of Psyche and watch from balustrade, grave shadows reflect and melt down the luminous sides of this internal cliff. The mourning kettle screams; steam mirrors the gravity locked inside my demitasse and eyes. I have found Orion within these hours.. A brief reprise from my view slowed to mended. The brilliance of every sudden spill once spoken and thus unwillingly willed, can be quite cruel. Each one burns in me with its sudden appearance, with depth and width skilled brilliant enough so that I might find my best of comportment. My vision; beyond a simple glass, beyond the sorrow of upended moments. I relate these worms with sylvan respect for I shall always will their observations. My absolution, the only cost I keep, lies nestled in groves of divinity. The lost found atop the heavens of exhaustion and strife. Yet, as I sleep in days to recant the senses, I find within my final reach that I will, as ever stand crippled. The images both puzzled as undone... the brush of silhouettes and the days of fault wait patiently by the strays of improvident daylight. © 2013 PerditionReviews
