Learning

So con amore I'll forget every meaning held within

the flesh of my nostrum until the last living

breath rips thru my eternal soul

panting w-/ every intake of coal

 

shimmering in the furnace.

 

As the shock was evident on his quiet face

etched in sanskrit as ultramarine mace

hits & the screams begin hovering mundane

As the malignant horrors declare insane

 

this hand shivering in earnest.

 

While I manage to hold on to my metal

engravings that Blake bequeathed to let all

the copper green scratchs out in the open

air inhale air for the simple mechanism , copin'

 

Sanguine turning to rest.

 

The red blood cells turning on each other

to shanghai the arteries as I call for another

being to share these moments w-/ at last

a paradox of paraffin smeared across the glass

 

membrane burning when pressed.

 

W-/ cyanosis on the mind sucking in tar

flecked oxygen sharpened on a bluenova star,

in the atmosphere we all crave sitting thru the dies irae

following my shadow as I wheeze until may

 

returning as he confessed.

oh my!~ your cpapacity to turn words into nectar is simply delectable!!~ here~the content is open to interpretation~yes~ but it it tells a specific story tilted sideways beautifully through your grasp of the perfect metaphor to fit the mood and enhance the imaginary scenery~
