Kraken and Mermaid

drown deep within the darkness of your mind...

Eyes beneath the tissue of darkness enthroned,

Neither the sun nor the moon but black waters moaned,

Extraneous desires of fortuitous events galore,

Fluorescent monsters and blueberry quarters   in a murky furore,

 

Beds of sand and tentacles of blithe falls for fool’s gold,

Intemperance of temptation in tears, terribly cold,

Matters of rise, of lavish size, and insanity is the prize,

Cultured probity in the hands of the merciless cries,

 

Synthetic skin of mystical sin veils the beautiful bride,

 Flights of unfettered soliloquy in treacherous waters glide,

Dawn of desire and the taste of fire in an ominous hue,

Debts of thrill, time’s clumsy wheel for a heart that never felt so true,

 

Step by my side, walk through the tides, you’ll do just fine,

Worry more for this world where there is no time,

Neurotic for the lost, erotic for her thought, myths of a prodigal mind,

Banal gait, mysterious wait, in dogmas that of fraternity that grind,

 

Platitudes disguise pure poverty’s ocean dream,

And supersedes the truth in more than one superior scheme,

Reveries of recurrent thoughts of reveries seem,

To be an onerous reputation of a body woven with silky gleam.

... the intensity ... the narrative ... the vocabulary ... and the alliteration are all astounding ... “eyes beneath the tissue of darkness enthroned” … is a spectacular opening line for this bewitching, enthralling and haunting tale you tell … the second stanza stuns with its profundity … especially “Intemperance of temptation in tears, terribly cold,” … the third stanza takes on a shade of the sublime and sinuous with … “Dawn of desire and the taste of fire in an ominous hue,” … the fourth stanza echoes with a resigned yet temperate tone with … “Step by my side, walk through the tides, you’ll do just fine,” … and the last stanza torments with profundity and passion … especially … “Platitudes disguise pure poverty’s ocean dream” … ravishing verse (poem) … melancholic and yet so memorable …
