„The Prelude — A Monsterful Plight”
‘whether the morn
or the eve of the world
whenever we stand
on the loathiest of the Earth
or the fairest of the Ark we ornament
whether 'tis an orison or a malison
whether thou art a lyght or blight
hence thou invokest
and the chant of volition thou vibratest'
— now, hie, the melodist endear’d
egad! — a fair fare above and beneath!
„The Ice Queen’s Touch — Cailleach”
the clock o' seasons
doth inevitably chime and chime
events do turn on a dime
at the drop of the hat
I am alive
between every second
of both my life and death withal
I would comprehend
the beauty of thine sojourn’d
although now thou just dost nought
yet excruciatingly have me scarifi'd
permit thou us two to abide untouch’d
allow thou my peace not to evade
out o' me
for once melt thou the icy armor
from thine heart
own thou a change of it
— withdraw thou thy
twistéd chiromancy
enfoldment o' a closure
pivotal to release
Beira
ice queen
I would keep thee
I would feed thee
yet thou needest to
unleash my grasp
Cailleach
— the crumbs within
are burning our unity’
„To The Otherwhere — Our Alliance Wandereth”
afeared I shall avaunt to the modern machinery
wandereth our alliance — our unison decampeth
the mother tongue’s land the breast of so suckléd
I — the lover of her own acre in such reverie
the appetency purloin’d thro' the assay of a stay
albeit the billowing glistening wind
doth denominate my name
— worthy am I hight
with all the quarter’d to be
— caducity and nostalgia act degradéd
or is — my demesne obliviatéd — candidly?
my drought shroudéd via my drudgery
the lure seemeth fain, yet trepidation
doth remain natheless
— what reigneth and blareth forsooth
— ’tis the fervency in a bifold meaning
fie, fecking blizzard and thy caress!
for I — whether thy fizgig or a freak?!
Siberian frore thy palms and mysteries
howbeit hither by the closure embrac’d
the vehicle of the maid thou exposest endear’d
mazéd the measure — a bane mayhap
to melt the glaring hoarfrost of a caitiff
— perchance otiose the additional ice
or thy hands — our periapt — for ’tis quite a passage far!
rathe-ripe or nay — we rack’d as we vie
with the storm for the august way to smite
for the grins and guffaws of jesters to betide
and for such month of elatedness to belimp
regardless thou begrimest and expectoratest merely
forlorn and lovelorn
— lore and scorn
we thro’ meanders
of mind, heart and gravity
…
„Imaginative”
snowflakes do their utmost
to cover the vehicle
— with a wintry horde swaying are those their veils
like led by the frosty rose goddess
— her rimy calyx-crown sugareth our windows
with sparkling jewels — her descending petals
gently knocking on the diaphanous glass
and more glaring are only the heavenly bodies
the air is so cool as I deeply inhale
and so damn prolong'd getteth the path to cross
ill-lit — hallelujah — for perhaps only seemingly
the scenery so quintessential
yet either to cut my wings or spread them wide
fears o' unknown are connecting
my doubts want me to be depriv’d of my sight
the roads so onerous to proceed them by
but when I get there I know I will be alright
someday — oh someday I will — memoria to recognize
and maybe I will cut off the untoward creeper
sneaking after no matter the desert sands or tarmac
making love to the unfavorable cynic
in me — the maiden imaginative
…
„The Ne'erending O'ermorrow”
a frank freedom
— a candid independence
the acceptance entaileth
o' the possibility
o' the hazard grand
to unbridle the strand
and yet forbye the urge to hinder it
lest it to overtake thy mind
and sew a veil
a steam or a mist
with a material o' the anxiety
not to resist
for 'tis the spindle o' life
to-morrow for aye doth exist
natheless o' to-day
trow thou, dear
— na to have it miss’d
„Beyond The Harbor — Our Portion Fro' Afar”
English rains dancing
wyth Scandinavian snows
their margarites subside on the canopy
altho' it casteth a shadowy silhouette
at least from them harbor'd we can be
the silky damask to protect so we can stare a bit
and such fresh are these sceneries
and such exquisite are those vistas
scoping I do discern a glister o' hope
ne'er have I thought of them
purloining my breath away in a beneficial way
ne’er have I thought of them being so amazing
yet there is my regret
my own rue
o' these landscapes
being too few around
wee my estimate; for a myriad o' glistens shall surround
the barge that hath us
enlighten’d by midnight stars
alleviating this outwardly boundless dusk
to hold us in its compressing grip
however whilst we sway
and toss a smitch
I do perceive both
snow-white and sable swans
their gathering into a brawl
like committ’d to paper by Tchaikovsky
the divine Odette and the damn’d Odile
— in scrimmage they unleash their screams
yet we only do have a swim
thro' the watercourse
— the sea o' a rillet
such an opulent afterglow
— is it my mind or is it factual?
I want to care not a whit
I want to give not a toss
albeit I do anyway
this river’s glowy overflow
may we reach the other bank
tho' the actual stream afore
— the fairest of them all...
...
„Dry Red Wine”
red — white — rosé
amber or sparkling
yet my esteem'd nectar of grapes
dry red wine of no matter the percentage
just another our sips of it from the chalices
I feel the ichor pulsing in my veins by the fireplace
— around one we’ve just gather'd
disembarking the paraphernalia whilst rubicund
akin to blood
thro' the ancient Egyptians
the Greek cult of Dionysus
Judaism and Christian Eucharist
the holy bliss it seemeth to be!
is the resurrection of senses pledgéd a gage
even tho' the mind is getting dimm’d?
entering the religion of vin de table not crave I albeit
my heart beateth fast
nearly poundeth of my chest like I’ve obtain'd the way
to be sensible of my aliveness
yet is it the gyration of the liquor certes carmine
or just my willful intention
to revive the internal vivacity
hither and thither
— being express’d?
„Design Of The Vicious Circle”
art appeareth to be the anima o' some
the right angle providéd without
checking it with a set square necessitatéd
yet one wou'd probably still dare
— the description is wholeheartedly dramatic
the comparison even more tho' the lines are parallel
we all experience at least a nanoscopic part
— a regular polygon of thine own room
once joy and sorrow do swap
but as the inspiration — once it cometh
it might ne’er go and ne’er let go
maugre the most daunting storm
and the rescue’s precipitous arrival
the shady crisis for the ardent artist
sentiments and sensations do capture
a delineation o' the vicious circle
and I twirl around like a ballet dancer woebegone
its design is my irregular scene
the circumference are my arms spread as I surrender
the height o' my malaise is the measure
that lost line o' symmetry
runneth after to and fro…
„Forlornly Involved”
thou art so pedantically sharp
like the hon’d edges of my aspiration
I often viciously cut my originator self with
— unrelentingly bruis'd and doggedly batter'd
when thou art so brilliant beyond compare
the nonpareil so f****** clever and rare
and in the same of worlds here all I ever am
is the girl donning a flower crown
tangl’d into her long dark ebony hair
squatting and kneeling before like an obedient lamb
listening and sinking deep — soaking all what’s hearken’d
a divinity of god and a ferity of killer
in one I face them — own them encounter’d
plac’d and sat in the front of them erasing my poems
written off along with scribbl’d lightnings by daggers
and I guess I’m all these listéd just below
a masochist — a life lover — a misanthrope
two-facéd can be my feelings' exposure
yet at least triple my artistic appellative
high as Alpine mountains are my goals
yet forever forlorn the degree of hope
and the result occurring...
„Breadth Of My Expanse”
Poland — thou appearest a wrack
dight and fill’d by hatred blight
howbeit an organ of Europe cardiac
and my own heart thou art
Poland — thou a decay durst I claim and claim
albeit thro’ wailing chant
a native speaker in me so saith
and thro’ dirge plaineth thy wane
a breadth of my expanse
as I — depart’d fro’ thee
not for thy loss surg’d;
yet for towards thee the blunders
o' the clerks alleg’d — deniéd to indemnify
and thus the larceners of thy dignity they demoraliz’d
transcending into e’erlasting eminence and praise;
the boon o' rue within — nay mo ephemeral withal
— ’tis for the alleviation o' weep
— my wish for thee align’d
wilt thou follow the wistful’s hollow grief
the audition alarméd for what already is?
wilt thou become a safeguard to all the kin
hearkening to me hither so mere?
the martyrdom’s billows — the tides o' blood
’tis its meaning we no longer necessitate
tho’ for how long more? — they naysay the response!
the corses’ lacrimosa was yet conn’d
I thought lost I was thro’ my wander
yet thou seemest more — ripp’d asunder
Poland — the one I bethink myself of
my eyne bedeck’d by the paysage o' thine
as if they both — hither and forth
and thee — one question dare I ask
afeared soon biding consign’d
'my mother tongue’s land
— wherefore?'
„Gildéd Cage — The Beguiling Ambience”
O my Gildéd Cage! for thee
not only have I sojourn’d
forbye got my stay fanciéd!
— still! My question as sheeny glimmereth!
wilt thou merely grin outward?
for when thou blinkest
my silhouette quivereth
am I shelter’d hither by thine intrinsic side
or thy raison d'être — further to affright?!
O my Gildéd Cage! for thee
not only have I sojourn’d
forbye got my stay fanciéd!
— still! My question as sheeny glimmereth!
wilt thou open thine eyes?
or wilt thou prolong
the closure as my soul exiteth?
for it doth possess the aptness to leave
a wherewithal’s gleam tho’ my head
with two minds crown’d and embellish’d
O my Gildéd Cage! for thee
not only have I sojourn’d
forbye got my stay fanciéd!
— still! My question as sheeny glimmereth!
for thou — my refuge,
my drought quench’d thro’ thy goblet,
my delightsome aliment!
abroad want I be not
howbeit the accouchement meaneth
attachment — ne’er service nor slavery
behead me not — for I still adore thee!
tho' the various canvas calleth me
O my Gildéd Cage! for thee
not only have I sojourn’d
forbye got my stay fanciéd!
— still! My question as sheeny glimmereth!
overcloudéd or overshinéd?
might I leave providing
my return I shall plight?
„Phantasmagoria — Part I — The Surreal Tryst”
my coves put me to bed down
and for the first time have I liéd
in the sheets at variance fro' mine;
it shall be nought but a bludge
for to have the slepe acquir’d
— outwardly;
'tis a thesis to overthrow
and all the dusk to beset me in the room
like a homestead for the pit lord dwelling in
within another clock chimes that eve
and was it behindhand
— was it behind time — dilatory
or was it the final silver lining
to the murkiest of my clouds?
hearken’d to his balming voice pristine
that beorn — he iwis wileth me to heed
is somebody carrying a vigil lyght for me
or is it one’s wish to have it precipitat’d?
’hist! — something inly terrific shall I acquaint thee with’
— his oath’d pledge resoundeth as he cometh
and upon me his huge yet smooth hand bestoweth
against the edifiéd lore
by my neurotransmitter
— own’d the phantasmagoria
'tis a trickery mayhap?!
’follow me to the waterfalls’
— he giveth his utterance beaming cordially
thro' the deofol-black eventide
with a sprinkling o' the snow-white spots
'twixt somewhither
my eccentric heart showeth
approval to such guide
— 'quotha, aye, lass!', ye say?!
tho' portray’d as a hallucinat’d dream
so puissant enow I mote beġiete a beorht flake
betwixt flowing tufts o' feathers
to ālimpan a gleam of attempt — prithee!
idiosyncrasy or a mirage? — glareth!
adventure — peradventure afore us!
beorn — wilt thou
refell me so august?
„Phantasmagoria — Part II — The Eve Of Emeraudes”
gramercy — as I forwander thro'
a wilderness unbeknownst to me
my wee feet gently yet curious
caress a dyre soil
like beneath my silhouette 'tis Elysium
— nought to sting
to fester nary
nay, no quagmire to repel
nor to bring to a standstill
nowise hither — e’ermore
nonexistent my acquiescence to discontinue
and forth — thither — thither above! —
the extraterrestrial rays
bestowing upon the sublunary world
an eve of emeraudes — in hues of teal we mantl’d
— smaragdine — lo! behold!
a transparent form of beryl
performing the regular show — a maelstrom
with its stars like lozenges of argent adamants
to enlighten my gloaming
— their flawless glow fro' afar
e’en beyond the matrix
of my distort'd imagination
athwart — my corse half-alive
in a reaching blithe arabesque
nu paradise afore me
— forthwith, I pray thee!
despight my lurking crisis
— parfay my glee…
„Phantasmagoria — Part III — The Canvas Amaranthine”
alow the soil pulseth
and anon my heartbeat blendeth
forby the crepuscular track o' defile
cover’d to escort me
to lay my eyes on a sheeny water tide
— descendeth it upon and fulfilleth the space
o' the indistinct and bottomless hollow's depth
— with so much grace streameth the cascade
and even the glorious Apollo
I could see sheepish — blush’d rubescent
by such vista of the potential
bliss and delight like by the satyr in Marsyas
being skinn’d alive — flaying him
due to the battle he durst ignite
the god avow’d he shall indemnify
'thou chancest the lure forbidden, peasant
thy bane malignant — ne’er enow! come thou hither,
believe ye me — the chant of thy hurt — only my boon!
nought do I owe to get prov’d — ex cathedra my craft!'
the nature — on his side howbeit as Herbert inscrib’d
to hight and to dight — an artist shall thole
livid and ghastly — alack — the gore!
amaranthine — ’tis a hue of such splendor, tho!
apoptosis with a sound sole, yet thro’
my rebirth I glare and in awe they glore!
autotomy — I disown and ignite a branch of my tree
still color’d to the core!
Apollo, come thou nigh,
with thine argute boon own me bestow’d!
for I myght grant ev’ry bibliopole
— am apt — I swore!
a swink of mine — one day my oath!;
for the readiness avouch’d shall I hold!
Marsyas, carnal thy martyrdom;
yet for the glory of art thy squeak and blood!
the craft na for the meek I daresay
— a distaste and ache so strait
yet we necessitate their bloom!
neither the greying e'ergreen nor the doves
of stone hither forsooth;
albeit when my time hasteneth enow
for them ne’erexistent I have myself
amidst the vital blaze from carnage swoon’d!
the whatness claim'd to have me absolv’d indeed
for merely my silhouette doth burn!
to grant it a yet another glow not to forsake my lore
and the nature’s wisdom sougheth…
„Phantasmagoria — Part IV — Silver Springs”
yode amain unto the earthly innate natural reflections
deeming the marvel o' how wide this element was
yon — the water itself — out o' four
able to master both — a succor or an annihilation o' life
rehydration or mortem
diving in tranquility o' turquoise
or floating in a flood with only one hand above
leaves like emeralds or embers unlit
lands o' azure puddles' ruthless augment
sink or swim — sense the thrill
'tis the silvering spring before me
— will its tale be the source
of my fortune or my fatal disaster menacing?
bending over her royal highness
such a circumstance rare to cause my obeisance
no longer desolat’d is the speculum
— no more idle nor vain as into my eyne
she regardeth and to my soul whispereth
ye gods, 'tis a reflecting surface
ye gods, 'twas a looking glass
with a wealth o' wisdom to vocalize
…
'burneth not, yet smouldereth she;
the combat within
— the warfare an remain’d —
ne’ermore the score
— the youthful she alyght
natheless kisseth the icicle’s hoar
not to carve, yet — not refinedly — but entirely;
to injure!
— nought of a flame aglow, but a cinder,
a fistful of ashes, a choke multiple
and a stalactite whettéd entwin’d mayhap!
— the emblazonry alike the entents all golden,
yet possess thou a mean as gilt beholden;
sweet child o’mine, espy and ween thou sober;
trow herein a creator not sole, but a dyad of 'em
— twofold somewise
the tale’s moral befalleth'
…
„Phantasmagoria — Part V — The Trance Of Recoil”
undertaken the exuberant lore,
so farewell the astonishing grounds
irradiant and way more than fine;
REM and non-REM sleep stages
nil did collide — the trance o' my recoil
the sway o' mine — into rock from a waltz
harking back — retracing steps
o' the lucidity — the recrudescence
Adam’s ale cataract — entwin’d clear-sightedness
and the prudence o' thine
— twofold fistful of percipience
what I have learnt to pour down on me
as if it was the amphora
fill’d with the distinctness of water
or the sweetness of the honey cloy’d
— such costless meed beareth the cordiality own’d!
oh, farewell — a fair well
for a while ephemeral or two — nay a dern my pine
tho' shalt thou be aware — reck thou as I avouch
for I don’t want thee to be
nought but for a stellar dream
„Phantasmagoria — Part VI — The Dubiety Come — I — Bestow’d Upon…”
such mastery o' this exquisite whereabouts
o' this home on Earth — of ours the charm
shall bear a tale as old as time
and universal to all of us
and it—
it hath!
tho' what about
an I still untold what to espouse;
how to comport myself in particular?
a pat on a moral backbone too lief
— is this the allure o' my struggle?
the dubiety come shuddereth the awe
and a naïveté to forage the stunner
behind the whole nine yards
so quher indeed is the place o' my wee
comparing to the world’s entirety
pounding chest of a heart?
what is the exact quiddity
of this precious piece of advice?
„Phantasmagoria — Part VII — Faithless”
it costeth me an arm and a leg
to help myself omit and pretermit
this fantasy once deliriously hanker’d by me
as such comely portraits
such neighborhoods the distance o' yon
like from faeries to the hilt
with messages seraphic and prophecies divine
found out in thither — the wellhead empyrean
would never be disclos'd to eventuate unimaginary
