Iris

 

 

 

The last flower petal(’s metallurgy)

 

Falls through the cracks of the sidewalk

 

A(n endless dishevelled incendiary) memory of dead forests,

 

Ocean’s of clovers supernova in the ozone glaucoma

 

Metamorphosis in the flora’s corridors Ouroboros of the murky purgatory

 

Waterboarded accordions borderline entwined with the kaleidoscope of hyacinths

 

Spindling the belligerent infinity of broken-winged Nymphs incinerating whimpering

 

Incendiary planetariums rolling foliage of smorgasbord orgies till morning

 

Gregorian quarries primordial horoscopes of corneas

 

Subordinate in ordinary plumerias of prairielands

 

Gandering salamander in Lamborghinis of hammered hamlets

 

Cramming ragged zigzagging dandelions abandoned

 

Into the lilac banner of a rancid iris

 

Dryads of eyelashes capsized asters pastors flabbergasted blasphemy’s rhapsody

 

Factions of dreamcatcher castaways

 

Black suns, floating kites of lightning strikes midnight

 

Hammocked canvasback labyrinths

 

Bannered pomegranate lavender scabbards chrysanthemum

 

Rorschach aphrodisiac comets following the swallowing of polyphonic andromeda

 

Avenue latter’s lanterns of gargantuan amaranthine pantheons

 

Bantering cancerous of cytoplasmic candlelight babbling Avalon

 

Bathing in the bloody sun of a hallowed evening

 

The sun that drops below and melts into the blackness

 

The slate is wiped clean again

 

The slate in wiped clean again

 

The slate is wiped clean of you

 

The trees of grey photographs monochrome ozone’s and drop their withered leaves

 

At your doorstep

 

And I can do nothing but cry

 

The house of God is hollow

 

The house of God is hallow

 

(In the chest of its evanescence a half-crescent)

 

And in this hallow lies your corpse

 

Am I,

 

The corpse still breathing?

 

Am I awake til dreaming?

 

Am I a bluebird screaming?

 

You come for me like a madman searching for reason (while I only have questions)

 

In unfulfilling agreement

 

You run and bleed like the captive to your freedom (that you keep in vestige)

 

A living remnant and a reject?

 

You plant the seed of a city within the womb of mutiny

 

(Spreading its roots through a concrete noose)

 

A skimming segment in the jigsaw

 

Picking up the pieces of you, your shell,

 

Crackling against the force of another (radio) wave

 

Somebody within flawed, again

 

Shattered bones and stone jawed men

 

Heaven’s own, a hellish limbo’s web

 

The rim jobs head, the uncut thread

 

And now we come take to your depths

 

In search of buried treasure, you left behind

 

Such worthless beauty, in the rusty pennies

 

The hallucinogenic heaven, (the empty decrescendo)

 

Of your eyes

 

 

 

Second Story

 

 

 

Delirious geniuses dreaming spirits incoherently as veneered lyrics spill amaryllis

 

Like the washed-up willow-wisp of frivolous chiselled daffodil guillotines

 

Wingless Olympian spriggans of stygian polygamy

 

Spilling ventriloquists of trilling Liliana

 

Lilies of silicon frilly vermillion pavilions over cerulean cathedrals

 

Chameleon chandeliers of Bandersnatch

 

Rapture’s ashtrays alabaster pathos dilapidated cacti of violet hymens

 

Sulphuric lacquered teardrops mocking kaleidoscopic doppelgangers

 

The foliage of an oil rig gout aurora borealis from my open mouth

 

Spitting out the fumes of the ludicrous jubilant

 

Acrylic villas of umbilical basilicas bristle the n*****s of syphilis

 

The terpsichorean graffiti of a double helix

 

Ethereal murals mirroring Elysium

 

Lost beacons in the helium delirious dreamlands spanning pandemonium’s cacophony

 

Queasy cathedrals of a bipedal amphitheatre

 

Dust devil cerebellums umbrella interstellar melodies Cinderella

 

 Helicopter’s nocturnes misanthropic psychotropic rockets

 

The ricochet of an empty page bounces around my empty skull

 

Like a firefly in a jar

 

I squash their flickering lithium

 

(Their stunted wings and glowing fairylike thorax)

 

Squeeze and smear my tears incoherently into a bioluminescent ink

 

To bring some light to my words

 

I also live in a jar, at times

 

A flame that is but a sun to a motherless sky

 

I am made of wax

 

Eyes widening in the formaldehyde

 

A dying chimera

 

I walk through the pavement forests of urban hermits

 

Umbra’s of fumbling tongues of tumbled tundra Nunavut

 

A steampunk sundial spun wild bumblebees somersaulting smiling Gaia

 

Marijuana gondolas mandala fondling armada anacondas andromeda

 

Hands of God, bands of gauze, boulevards of scars stargazing

 

Sometimes there is no moral compass

 

To those who have found out how to be lost

 

Looking at blinking neon signs without direction

 

Egoless rejects

 

Drunk and thirsty,

 

Fumbling through the cave of the night sky

 

To lose your mind and find yourself looking for something

 

In the blindness of a horizon enshrined in my iris

 

The creation ovulates discombobulating Neapolitan onomatopoeia

 

Fondu in jubilance lucrative lucid grin at the fuselage hallucinogens

 

Zombies of rondos sonata concubine flatlining discombobulated mantras of rhyme

 

The fauna and the comets obelisk of meteoric euphoria

 

The gobbledegook willow wisp ventriloquist tongue-tied tripping over sentences

 

Wisteria of a paraplegic legion of dreamlands

 

Eagle sands manhandling amplified ramifications of Gods’ damned ramblings

 

Of pianos Michelangelo

 

Fragile angels star-spangled amethysts entangle pandemonium

 

Glistening riffraff eucalyptus shapeshifter pixies

 

Rippling polycrystalline labyrinthine symphonies

 

Opaque skyscrapers serrated with the blaze of aeons

 

Radiating maelstroms of harlequin wisteria

 

Visionaries parade and barricade

 

Flaring into the clarity of vicarious serenades

 

Infentesimo maleficence cardiovascular pestilence

 

Infinitesimal decibels resonance reverberates

 

Through the concrete plate like hell’s saints

 

Everest metallurgy of the serpentine furnaces

 

Crowbarred murderers of the urban hernia

 

Call the open choir of the fire hypothermia

 

As subservient hurricanes graze with a heavenly gaze

 

As the world sways halos tornado rays radio off the rails to the grails’ cadence

 

As the Himalayans’ cradle radiance homo-sapien

 

As the subterranean wisteria malaise bend like clay

 

Hazy beige in the gale of maelstroms

 

Gladiolus shouldering smouldering oceans of poltergeists smoking opium in dystopia

 

Cataclysmic labyrinthine apocalyptic blitzkrieg ventriloquist

 

Beautiful silver not yet gold

 

I play this game and bargain my jargon

 

I read worldlines of worldliness

 

And write passages I’ll walk through in time like a traveller

 

Clothe myself in the fabric of history

 

The gospels of clockwork Cocytus (sailing cottontail azaleas)

 

Serving time a minuteman until

 

I become the period at the end of each sentence

 

Presenting my pastimes without a future

 

A cloaked figure ahead of my lifetime

 

Chasing fairy tales on the edge of a dime behind a tight schedule

 

Keeping the hands of the clock at arms’ length

 

Out of touch, (as the asters pastel)

 

Hanging on a minute counting seconds till my final hour

 

At the end of the day

 

Tomorrow was a long time ago

 

The foundation of an era is a second story building

 

 

 

 

Blind

 

 

 

 

Asterisks abstract Rorschach nimbostratus avalanche the passageways of praise

 

Chaos crisscrossed oceans in the monochrome domains

 

The depths of exodus and the resurrecting pestilence

 

Nameless alien mazes of crazy stargazer ukulele azaleas

 

Maelstrom lazily hazel in the pale halos of lackadaisical chaos

 

Resurrected speckled retinae of Nephilim’s requiem

 

Specular sepulchre in the night sky’s heavy

 

With lilac pines unwinding sundials

 

Crestfallen melancholic hollow volumes

 

Of pastels unravelling sopranos neo Angelo

 

The piano anvils of Avalon

 

Staccato vibrato

 

Aneurisms bedazzled candlewick

 

Amaranthine chandeliers

 

Eternity’s vertebrae

 

Feudally luminous altocumulus

 

Voodoo of the blooming pseudonyms ruminating luminous

 

Elastic acupuncture homunculus summits bungalow

 

Of vernacular blackberry Rorschach earwax vaccinations

 

Spiked ichor of a triceratops

 

Of psychotropic hemlock mockingbirds

 

Merging in the bloodcurdling of a night sky’s violet

 

Fossils of doppelganger eye-socket velociraptors

 

Blossoming from concrete holocaustic

 

Faucets of claustrophobic dystopian utopias

 

Interwoven in the frozen snow globe chromosomes

 

Of homogenized leviathans

 

Snowflake spades of aegis platelets of aethers’ creation

 

Among endless smokestacks of books

 

In the coiling rainforests wind tore oracles of rhinestone polaroid corneas

 

Through the looking-glass of asphalt graffiti

 

In the liquid asphyxiation of wayward graveyards

 

To fallen stars carrion arbitrarily American

 

Apothecary apophthegms apoptosis

 

Beyond garrisons of marionettes

 

Clarinets of clockwork nocturne closeted by discombobulation

 

Apostles’ gouache the psychotropic apocrypha misanthropic Gestapo

 

Lopsided shrines of nihilists violin iris strings

 

Stemming from the perennial hemorrhages of endlessness in hemispheres

 

Incoherent as the morning rain

 

Island dryads, wyverns of trident xylophone kaleidoscopes

 

Copious in the dopamine of bad dreams

 

Zigzagging craggy Pythagorean Ragnarök Cocytus

 

Radios of ascension blending heavy renegades

 

Paralysis of amalgams oasis of homeostasis in extraordinary metamorphosis

 

Awakening the stake between my trachea

 

Dissecting ascension of emptiness

 

My only closeness is to apotheosis

 

 

 

Watcher

 

 

 

Phantasmagorical Ouroboros midichlorian monochorea auditoriums corridor

 

In floral coiling corneas

 

Vilifying wind-chiming barbed-wire spirals xylophone rhinestones

 

Vile lilacs hiding primal diamonds of silent pious vibrance

 

Lithium polycrystalline asphyxiation

 

Taoism pallets shadow lavenders with cannabis

 

The knotted prominence of the bottomless audience contemplating mayhem

 

Discombobulating (hallways of) audio mitochondrial nations

 

Inhaling radio waves like a tsunami of origami (margaritas)

 

The crumbled manuscript of obituaries

 

The waxing and waning vacuums of craniums

 

Vocal chords smorgasbord

 

Reeling cerulean elysian memorabilia of hemophiliac azaleas

 

Infernal eternals gurgle murmuring metallurgical journals

 

Of ferns in the burgundy blurred

 

The monstrous embouchure of a shackled saxophone blackened castles in

 

The twisted abyss(al forsythia) of its hallways,

 

Its maze of passages, valves in the black book of God

 

Screaming seagulls from the sweat of a furled brow’s psalm

 

The mouthpiece of God, warped noise

 

Chattering amaranthine canvased tangling analog

 

Bending through the knotted tomb

 

The chamber of the heart’s labyrinth

 

(A metallic galaxy)

 

(The womb of a universe)

 

Until it comes out beautiful

 

From etching the denim assemblage crevices of heavens’ evanescence

 

Clandestine to destiny’s maleficent ecstasy

 

Perpetually wrestling with sketching its leprosy indefinitely  

 

Leaping from the mouth of the lord

 

Like embers from the endless flame

 

Alien azaleas flail in the wailing gale of a stale wind

 

Spiralling diaphragm diaphragmatic

 

An out of focus looking glass plastered ashen aphrodisiac

 

With ecclesiastical brass stalagmites

 

As light hermaphrodites

 

Bleeding into colourful gutters of butterfly umbrage, brotherhood

 

Wondrously lusting basking in the masquerade of afternoon rays

 

Boundless sound waves amalgamated valves in the hallelujah

 

Voices spiralling violence in the wiles of hyacinth wildfire

 

Follicles on the face of the earth pockmarked artisans

 

Knocked off-tempo empty cemeteries of gregarious paradise

 

Mockingbird hypothesis fibreoptic opera of copulating clockwork apocalypse

 

Gradually unravelling malleable alleyways vacant to the oasis of hatred

 

Bottomless mitochondrial discombobulated abominations

 

Of a pixyish abyss omnificent in the polycrystalline forsythia

 

To the tune of an all-consuming spooning universe

 

Hemlock clockwork knocked off-tempo

 

Prism’s rhythm livid aneurisms

 

Mitochondrial audio lobotomy gondolas

 

Of draconic rondos omnicompetent incognisant

 

Amaranthine canvases

 

The unbalanced hourglass pastures of satin masquerades

 

Ukuleles of azalea jailbird fail to follow the trail of a braille maelstrom

 

Zigzagging craggy Pythagorean

 

In stagnant tapestries off the gap of megalomanic magazines

 

Stanzas of labyrinthine symphonies

 

Pit me against the mutilated glaciers’ immolation

 

Blessing tempestuous restlessly on these multilateral battlefields

 

Empty depths of cerulean speleothems

 

With the remnants of penance’s excrement

 

Rinsed in photosynthesis fentanyl sentinels

 

An emissary of the chainlink fence

 

Climbing over the (barbed-wire) adversity of another body of light

 

I’d rather close my eyes than go blind

 

And become a shadow

 

 

 

Tongue Lashings

 

 

 

Echoes molecular sepulchre in this lustrous clusterfuck

 

Multilateralism’s inquisitor slithering livers of oblivion

 

The gallows of wildflowers in the ghettos of metallurgy contemporaries

 

Set fire to the night sky igniting

 

Smokestacks in the rachet of the blackness

 

Dribbling words like a basket-case

 

Between classes

 

Tongue lashings

 

Remembering

 

Incendiary

 

Unendingly

 

A pretender in a cemetery

 

Clergy demiurge blending

 

Of the sentimental bending sentences’ labyrinthine penitentiaries

 

Hurting for eternity

 

Unravelling bouquets of sun rays and periwinkle inkblots

 

In the grey grazing malaise of Salem’s engraving conclaves of everglade azaleas

 

The maze of a faceless mosaic

 

Alstroemeria marionettes

 

Patient oasis praying through aeons in séance

 

Waltzing alcoholic melancholia with stanzas of penultimate

 

Camouflaging collages dissolve within the pottery of my arteries

 

Incandescent heavens of venom in effervescence altocumulus luminescence

 

Magenta nebulas oeuvre of pestilential placenta

 

Vorpal incorporeals keeping rhythm to the persnickety equilibrium

 

Risen to christen the circumcision of still-birthed churches of tuberculosis

 

Motionless mitosis explosions of oceanless coconuts fluxing illustrious

 

The suffocating creators of construction paper aether

 

Folding our origins into chlorophyll Morningstar metamorphosis

 

Intercoursing voices buoyant to the noiselessness

 

Voids of hemorrhoids open and close their eyes Frankenstein

 

The dollar sign in a fallen sky polymerized

 

As sentenceless centuries entropy and intertwine on ultraviolet highways

 

Blooming from inside me

 

Sulphuric murals of ethereal immaterialism

 

The formless horizon

 

Beneath the silent moon’s illumination

 

Lucid music of the waltzing altocumulus’ abyss unmaterialistic

 

Nature’s acres of laquear aether gates of salvation

 

As I step through broken glass

 

The plastic rapture cluttered submarines of subterranean arcadian megalomania

 

And plant my feet into the grave of another human forest

 

Swimming incendiary in the thirsty dirt

 

Through broken mirrors where shadow become body

 

And body become shadow

 

And black became white

 

And white became Death

 

Columns of light that hold up the house of God

 

Remembering

 

Lackadaisical subterranean maelstroms mosaics (of) the break of dawn

 

Walking away from the light of a streetlamp

 

The shadows grew longer than the Shinigami astronomers of origami andromedas

 

Skyscrapers that cast their (Rorschach) shackles (on passerby’s)

 

Upon the prison of this earth

 

A picturesque chrysalis blossoming holocaustic gospels in the phosphorous

 

Offspring of the broken-winged blue jays

 

The frayed edges of Armageddon’s’ malaise of pages

 

Splintered (polycrystalline) words and (infinite) phrases

 

A crosswalk we bare a newborn child of civilization

 

Cremating creation in the embers resonating flower petals in every embryo

 

The tempo of emptiness

 

Harbouring Tartarus carnival’s into halogens discombobulated

 

The sentinels of ventilating hatred

 

Fed by the colours smothering the payload of a maelstrom’s halos

 

Painted in the rainbows of our failures railroading into exodus

 

Exploding corneas into locomotive osmosis morse code intercourse

 

Every dose a morsel of our own shedding semideus

 

Heavenless feathers of proletarian serenades

 

Walking over each other just to get a little higher

 

The highest seat to watch the world burn

 

But we butterflies

 

Still star-crossed lovers

 

Die

 

Shuddering under sun or in the gutter

 

There are no riches left for prying hands

 

There is no love within these hearts of strangled strands

 

You cannot hope to reach each grain of sand

 

But even still

 

The pavilion keeps us dry

 

So we never go out into the rain

 

And dance with the lone crow

 

As it sits cooing in the trepid trees

 

They must have thought I was a madman

 

Laughing at the fate I was damned to cling to

 

(Within these woods)

 

They looked the other way

 

But I myself

 

Wouldn’t want to face myself

 

I understood the need for silence

 

The gift of solitude

 

The need for emptiness

 

Filling me

 

With just

 

Enough to smile

 

There’s something wrong with me

 

Isn’t there?

 

Swallowing the roach

 

Hiding high

 

Within my smoke?
