„And We Chime (The Seductive Overture)”
the cloudcapt dead o’ night cast tanzanite alive,
and the foreplay in a fire opal lay hath just rhym’d,
as the citrine lyghts o’ the beacons chronological
notify us the ’membrance o’ goodnight,
and we are lull’d by the fabrics slipping out
off the swaying hessonite ardent silhouettes to hie
satin chemise o’ a dark coffee shade
— the beverage thou adorest to consume;
the consummation seemeth succulent tonight, too;
the bronze o’ my lingerie and my skin weave
so dost thou wyth me as thy cloud nine e’en if nay pristine
thy blue cotton shirt like thine eyes cerulean
unbutton’d as if throwing stones were the seas
— yet my over the moon and my breeze o’ relief;
and contemporaneous our consents resound;
and coeval our act o' darkness as so one is hight
e’en an we sense but the rapt shafts o' a gold-bright chime
yet forsooth all the beacons and lyghts went out
— sheepish and fordimm’d by dint o' our radiance fine;
gloom into glam once we surround each other
like strongholds root’d and bound
— Mother Earth alive to that,
as she's a goddess aboue and arownd
styll prone to crashing into each other like tides;
wyth both veracious love and lust expos’d we are,
so let thou not the stardust rust —
thine eyne addeeméd and amindéd enow
to areach and beclose the extramundane aze evok'd
yet extinguish — my benign, let us not
— allow us na to burn out to the core
let thou the bridebed
adornéd be wyth the rags' glide;
moist — nay I e’er left wythowt, tho’ melt’d na hitherto
— sob thou na creeks nor cascades,
for it an’t my death afaint, be it per’lous, be it not;
I haven’t obtain’d the way of all the Earth gone;
wyth thy delight adream merely I benedight,
for, my carnal copesmate
to disgarland my corse to the core daisiéd ne’ermore,
as a moonglade
the eve’s grand orb upon it doth shine
— dost thou trust me or not?
we are phoenixes aligned,
and no thunder teareth us asunder,
so shed thou not tears for it, either;
my moonlight, my stars, a sunshine o' mine
— mornward have me transfix’d divine
as the cosmos's unfathomed myght;
inwreathe me the embosom o' thine
„Mære”
once a telluric cupola her mantle
o’ fainéant orbs dustéd hath,
the welkin’s tumble further
— into darkling’s embosom which smothereth —
circummur’d — cimmerianiz'd
— the ghoulish naiad’s theft
in the immensity of blackness clad!;
a remembrancer o’ thine come — Mære yclept;
hath the macabre cabaret possess’d thee afeared
or split thy moonstruck noctambulist's sides to a jest?
a yellow lyght’s endeavor so ne’er befallen to red
glaucous emergeth as the yerth
pristine adamant doth shine
like a crescent o' a scimitar stain’d
wyth the everywhither blood it bled for her brazen kind
— the green hue to symbolize the moss
onto the grave o’ hope,
and the blue one is wha’ thy devils approach;
and hath the flesh got enow o’
the vainglory diminish’d to gainsay
the praise natheless? dare I say it hath not —
thy naysay timid, yet burst forth do I eavesdrop?;
open thy door, homefelt art thou,
yet imperil’d as pearls o’ rain
begetters to the aroma o’ the orient dead become;
Mære creepeth hither, wilt thou
outbreast her heightless voice?;
into one musical canon our articulations yoke;
alow — below — allow I — bellow thy note! -…
air out; na to quell! -…
b*tch, praytell, praytell, praytell
the fable obsolete;
barking dogs seldom bite,
and dead men tell no tales;
the liberation off the mare-ride
above thy bend; a ride-or-die literatim fain
— heads I win, tails thou losest;
at the top o’ my lungs…
mine are your swan neck and a chest opulent
to snath the gulp of air;
angel o' death thou art;
against the clock withal! -…
empty vessels make the most sound, oh, how sad!;
na I all-a-mort, na I at death’s door…
I, wedlock’d wyth Chronos and Father Time,
anon clad thee in widow’s weeds to bemourn out
thy sheets an so lief thou art!
I a wife at heart-…
at devil’s-dozenth sixes and sevens;
a mortuary becometh the folk's aisle
— egad, amain awaken'd I accord,
ere long, archdeviless vile, avaunt!
„The Bewitching Hour (To The Letter)”
awakening fro' the burian o' a nightmare
to thy face and grip is such a solace unfeign’d,
and thy lip language whilom thou in motion art,
so albeit my own mouth unto shiver and silence shut
— thine lips aforesaid and their tongue tast’d and felt
o, my dearheart, na merely do they fro' afar lipread dwell
the sweat wyth the anxiety
to slowly descend its churlishness o' yore be
thou wipest away like an archangel fro' my bree;
the evenfall into the morningtide anon
bemeant nou na to cease the glim untimely
'tis fornigh, fatéd it shall chance as they come,
all o'er hell’s half acre, tho' an't it an imp o' a foe
wha' to mar me belast and beshadowéd
thou alleviatest like an arrow fro' a bow
whylest a shaft o' time striketh me demiséd;
thy words beliest thou ne’er, my cordial soul
forthan bewitching the witching hour doth enwrite
[to the letter] thy fondness once my woe cometh so
[to the letter] thy vigilance whylest attry be my shadow
[to the letter] thy stream unto my ghyll o' internality
[to the letter] thy reign o' a cerebral and soul'd betweenity
howbeit an perchance canst thou
the line written or drawn more or less nigh
wyth thine ink overspill; o’er wha'
beforehand is as sharp as a falcata
wrought and consign’d forbye
— beknow I for luridity thou predestinest it not
the hearth o' thine heart and arms
lucidity verily doth me behest;
tranquility forsooth doth me behight;
in the clasp to the bosom o' thine —
indeed begrip’d I safe and sound for aye
’ow thou apt to bewitch — the craft o’thine eldritch,
altho’ ethereal so and a spiritual wight akin —
ne’er ere have I wyth my chestnut eyne beseen,
nor e’en in a dwam shut-ey’d daft durst beseech
lithe in its fervency at no time begg’d for
— befalleth the aesthesia
harmonious in its maelstrom o' an endless encore
— playeth the fantasia,
and into the beauty o' yore
presentness and hereafter are happy to mell,
albeit now the lattermost one na o' a cist
nor o' a sepulchre dolomite,
since nought carv’d in stone hath been yet;
we chime, we chime, we chime radiant
always on the dot — circadian — round the clock
ontill hell freezeth o’er; awfully in senses multiple
to the letter: my dearheart touchable
hold me tight so we register more…
„Immortality”
and maugre

equaleth not
I love
thee
to death,
so
it will ne’er
completely take
thee
fro' me
'paltry is life’s ephemerality,
natheless not its quality…'
— 'tis a fayth I dare possess
as the river bank I cross lone
— wythowt thee as we used to in days o' yore,
for meadows o' heaven and bridges o' rainbow
on the other side o' the creek thou experiencest
to and fro' — behedg’d ne’ermore;
hither and thither — hither and yon
— albeit the former is such a term
o' the vicinity towardes me forlorn
for thee howbeit
the hues o' cerulean and fern
since the independence once ajar
ceas’d to tempt the score per’lous;
nix in orderless order
to be a burden too weightful to carry;
nought to desecrate;
to profane wyth malady nary
the portal to perpetuity
— damnéd to me and divine to thee I pray —
open’d its doors;
lest aught less than the paradisal paradigm!
elevenness aetat my golden child
be it o' breed be it o' not!
ail’d ne’er agen afarest thou;
waylaid by dint of it wail do I
— e’ermore fare thee well withal
'for I love thee to death, so it will ne’er
completely take thee fro' me'
dare I say in a solitary breath
— 'tis the epitaph for thee,
and thy paw prints o' the ink
— indelible on my shoulder blade
and my heart for eternity
I love thee to death, so it will ne’er
completely take thee fro' me
the twenty-second of May,
two thousand and nineteen...

two way is the monolith I shall resurge thro' athwart;
aboon I shall be perceiv’d for a spinner of yarns

by the lack o' your own virtue ye to nurture gold;
sunken ere in Lethe’s forgetfulness and armth
nou I re-awake and 'ow ye to vie the spirit anoint’d afore?
stalwart your dispute endeavor, I see you thro'
by dint o' my own bygone reflection’s effigy;
argent and dentéd like a paradigm o' a shield
— pure-intendéd as a knightess deep at heart withal;
'twas the speculum which ache and a teary dew
upon me once more or less asudden did bestow
a dissonance, a projection, aught merely for to cope
maugre the aloneness oft; a discord in sooth multiple
howbeit the billow o' a flow to my ebb into infinitude
burst once parfay I myght reiterate for you;
that jug o' water na to drown in yet to repair the vision
o' possibility ally the divisions; my parle o' concision be

ontill my dying day or in a hereafter vault I am not,
yet crystal clearly — aware for am apt to so behold;
blead nor blood I no longer gorily bleed, yet I perceive
by gravity and eyne mendéd at the behest o' you;
yours is nonentity, but greed sole ’n’ a disguise o' grue
quotha! further bedeck your feretory;
your vanity adorn’d shall replete be;
hie, polish your jewels to mandatory glare as an horn’d
yet wherefore the glore o' mine
a sparkle like a glory galore, and your
own maketh merely a frown upon it all?
— into warfare ye fold your hands;
err doth me not such your gesture;
wha' doth quietus signify for you?
your serenity via their noiselessness doth occur?;
'love thy neighbour as thyself,' do ye recall?
— myself I behest rabid towardes me at most;
towardes the rest dogma-free belead my esse lifelong
besprenging scorn into nought — odium come na at all
— your Eden eviternity to unfold sham;
enswath’d is one in the nix-Styx lies;
your time passeth clockwise, yet what spread by you
— extratemporal maugre the reason to imply;
the resurgence as certain as the wind blows to betide
yet awake ere the wee mound o' dust
yourselves ye make pulveriz’d…
„Borne In Upon”
a dove-heart’d dearheart o’ mine,
the acerbity o’ me towardes whom befallen
e’er so severe; the goods straight nay dernéd

hereof thy love an antidote cannot make by itself
thine embosom the disorder o’mine cannot
incessantly on its lonesome descend,
maugre our togetherness’s overload —
into its quicksand jocund we myght dissolve as a blend;
verily I want to anoint’d become by dint of
waters diverse and more or less pure, tho’
wyth our silhouettes doing each other laud
parfay the quagmire wyth thee is more bearable;
aye, amain how thou emboldenest wyth care

ere the anxiety — the anxiety eft;
eftsoons my grounding via thy kiss;
forthwith the victory occurreth not —
thy succor’s validity causeth not vividity o’ a cure,
yet wyth thee by my side I am cognizant of
its distance within my grasp,
and the grasp shall my underneath at liberty procure
and the anxiety eke ne’ermore;
wee steps so the path cover’d dimisheth it attunable
whispering to thee na more expos’d to be affright
— withdraw do I, adraw do I wyth a moan slight;
the rupture into rapture evolv’d,
e’en if na via unison o' a sensual feature; styll intimate;
for an common well-being remaineth attain’d not
— nought possible, nil e’er endeavor’d,
adrawn indeed forthright; I the creature
to thee prioritiz’d be, and thou art mine, cinnamon;
aside fro' - once we in lustful unity o' volition mutual -
borne in upon me 'n' thee for it an’t a smitch, my dear
but ignition o' a parallel fire and hearts set to and on;
'tis a spring o' welfare and bliss — ours its paragon
— nou I rock back and forth, and as a palm o’mine
press’d to my ticker o' a tantivy tranquiliz’d,
I fall back into our cradle o' a bed, yet wyth thee
e’en a motion heretofore subduéd whereupon
the sheets velvet and silk clad do lull apogee;
and stare I heavenward, redundant questions dare ask
'is this but a mere fantasy fey? o, very many replay

prithee, the oblivion to vanish itself allow’d

come to life — leastwise to the 'membrance, once

my lips part — wyth thine bind — dread doth depart
I lose the stiff posture — surrender we to exhausture
borne in upon; emotion towardes wyth no further ado;
