Synesthetic Love

The secrets of the universe, pretty much. Waves control our every action and emotion. We wander obscurity trying to harmonize our bones with the frequencies of light and sound dictated by the cosmos

Sadless: a selfless sadist
Sacrificing the lesser
In a more than you could ever know
Circumstance; Premature poser
Silhouetted in shame
Un-nurtured sorrow lost in the relevance

Reciprocative Romance--found
In frequencies of desert waves, harmoniously veiled
The souls of nebulae engrave their sacred keys
Instruments of vertabrae dance to discover

Dust-Devil winds devour
Shards of scorpion shell like fire, shatter
Between teeth; devitrified glass from sands
Spilling their delusion from vacant sockets

Granulated pigments brush in sense
Of scentless whispers
Soundless grays paint their love
Taste vibras like ancient whiskers

So meow like you give a f**k

Gasp from the last of nerves and notes
You beg to pluck
Lick thigh lips
Suckle betwixt your blossoming rose
And slithering hips
Trembling ticks intoxicate in ambrosial drips
Time affixed; vulnerability unyielding
The celestial skin tucked within
The carnage of our carnal queens
Little deaths of knowledge
Unlace your sacral dreams

overall quite dark ...very ambiguous but i do have favorite lines and phrases ..like the first two lines ... there is a bit of an attack on uncaring hearts, and your poem causes me to wrestle with a very different perception of an almost forgotten phenomenon ... makes me think of the "music of the spheres" (which i believe is real) ..and who can imagine such a thing without colors and motion and shapes .. ;) difficult to read for understanding and relating to but lots of vivid images ..i do not think this bit of word play adds ..it reads a bit out of place for some reason ".. sir. Cum-stance.." ...fun time with the alliterations ... especially this one for me .."Sadness: a selfless sadist." ..i like that a lot!

Sorry for the late reply, thank you for your review! Ive never even heard of music of the spheres, but that is exactly what I was trying to express. I seem to do that a lot...

Anyway, this piece relates to ancient knowledge of music, sex, and discovery. I sort of made it purposely ambiguous to try and let the reader feel like they're decoding ancient secrets. But basically, I just tried to write in a way to make the reader think differently; hence the synesthetic verses and alliteration with some dual meanings

I immediately put this into a rap in my head. The way you put the words together, the specific choices of words too, it just screamed the same beat as Blackalicious's Alphabet Aerobics. I would enjoy seeing a rap of this to that.
