Darkness Repeats

Electric chaos pierces sapphire, that timbre interlude

as rushing silver limbers down the shadows of my brood

Twilight brushes warm pastel and splashes nature's sleeves

as downy beams of broken sun would gently kiss between the leaves

Wind chimes sing their porpoise song, dancing in the gale

I haven't moved in moments as my thoughts descend and pale

Where beaches breathe the clocks of tidal time are stalling, too

In moonbeams prancing, silhouettes the page of grace I never knew

Painted love-collages bridge a patchwork to lost dreams

always a new soul to save; while my own is shying from the seams

Flickering, the lights, they too must die like all the rest

Soaking darkness, poison fed, the end is comfort to the blessed 

Fate's eclipses curse my will with another haunted flame

This one is rent-to-own, a rueful cheater's game

A sighing heart of red collapse is static in my veins

bleeding life like galaxies who spiral down the drain

True to organic wired infamy- darkness snatches and repeats

Strung up high and drowning low in the groove of hourly defeats

You can call me prosaic, I lost the subtle shades that made me a mosaic'

That first line especially is flawless, I adore the way you view the world and how your pen makes sense of it all. I could see this all in blurs, I think it was meant to be that way.

I think you are right. You understand my writing best, and I adore that in you. Thanks!!

I am glad to have an understanding of it, it's lovely to get a grasp of something so profound.

I think this is the first time I've seen you write a couplet. and this was very effective. the rhymes are clever. The imagery is thick as always! :D

[Kristallo]

It could be better, I have such a hard time keeping in step with a structured 'rhyme scheme.' It seems I lose my flow in struggling to make the last words to each couplet match, but otherwise, yeah- not a total failure. Thank you. :)

[Sethnicity]

No a failure at all.. The story is told and the structure can hold it's own weight.

Bows to the power of your pen!

I love the rhythm that this read in and the powerful choices of words. It says so many things without having to lay it all out there. I can relate to this.

[An owl on the moon]

There is a powerful rhythm pounding through your pensive contemplations... the masquerade of humanity stripped back revealing the honest flesh on bone... dreams undone... You've breathed a vast wantonness into this world, casting off rose colored glasses... So fiercely honest and darkly entrancing.

[Sethnicity]

This is prolly the most aggressive I've seen you write. the meter is hard stressed and has moments of flux the way Good writing should.
and once again... Word Choice! That is what separates the Scrub Scruples from the Script Sculptures!

"All the broken dreams ripping at the seams and reality bubbling like a wicked scheme"
I can't think of anything to say without being redundant. You are a poet. There ya go. My highest praise.
