Flaking Stipple Over Exquisite Architecture

Flaking Stipple Over Exquisite Architecture

A Poem by NightShade
"

A new coat of paint on eternal archetypes is sexy and it's not worth doing if it ain't sexy...

"
Plateaus of smug self righteousness
belie the Truth of placid exteriors
as the abyssal seas are stirred
churning the silt of decay

Cyclopean egregores of the infinite
burgeon without attaining cyclic
Circadian rhythms of geodesic
roads traveled by lucid thoughts

Deific denizens of oceanic frequencies
often seek the surface of art
shining forth covered in primordial sludge
marked by the ineptitude of solar grace

Galactic citizens seek their centre
blinded by aesthetic inadequacies
thrust through the inner "I"
by morbid love of wicked influence

What grand  miracles we think ourselves
basking in cosmic embers radiating
ebony folklore mistakenly
seen as scintillating worldviews

Splatter more colour over the
exquisite architecture of forever
flaking stipple because sex smells
and everyone is buying

Plunge forward, glorifying the
vacuum Genesis of past conditions
falsely intuiting nonexistent probabilities
and missing the ever present NOW

Crystallize in your chrysalis of Self if you Will
ignore the clanging of vain achievement
Be the spelunker who transcends the Egg
Now! Poem the utter vastness...

If you know all of the vocabulary you used in here, kudos. If you don't know, even more kudos for putting it together.

My favorite lines are

Deific denizens of oceanic frequencies
often seek the surface of art

It shows a relationship between abstract, formal language and simple, profound writing. Those type of clashes always take readers by surprise.

If I were to classify this writing, I would say Dada mixed with early 1900s English writing. Or it could just be NightShadean :)

Your writing is so abstract. It's an intricate painting of words.

I need to expand my vocabulary. This is a synchronistic piece of work, the kind that binds us with the spiritual side that many of us refuse to see, and this is coming from an avowed atheist. This really makes me want to ride the spiral and embrace the random.

Really like this. A multitude of images to be thought over. I like the language and word choice you use as well. And in part for me it looks at our own conceit belittled in the vastness of time and universe. Well done! :)

Wow. I actually searched up each word that I wasn't familiar with, and you taught me an abundance amount of new words! Heh.

Anyways, this was...really..hmm, really interesting. Although I didn't really get it completely, I still liked it.
