Stanzas to Aesthetics
I consider,
Would her gaze remain intent,
If the expulsion of my eyes,
Crystallised to diamonds in descent?
Or my words hold her close,
If they, like purest spun gold,
Shimmered beneath admiration,
Woven to shield delicacy,
Unknown intricacies of the flesh,
Concealed, un-disguising of intent,
In the ebb and flow of a silken dress.
If my thoughts may shape the finest of all things,
(I have...
The Shadow Sphere.
‘Alas, I suggest little, and say less’,
Leaning back,
Savouring a cigarette,
The only pursuit he would maintain until its end,
Exhaling with a dull content,
He creates images in the purple haze,
Loosening the tongue he says,
‘The rules are not mine,
Nor mine to bend,
I have neither love nor regret,
No joyous past on which to lament,
Or future to sketch across the stars,
By which I mean the pale...
‘You must subjugate your subjectivity,
Without objection,
And relate, the imagery of your eye,
To the critic,
Such judgemental oppression’,
Only the divine can confine true invention,
With intervention,
That I might capture essence of earth,
In ink,
Channelling life-blood to manuscript,
My intention,
Flowing from opened veins,
Such substance,
Should it appear in formulated phrase?
Structured...
Enscribing decorated words,
Upon age lingering structures of stone,
Whose presence remains,
Beyond all extent of the flesh,
That which is gifted,
Yet may be purchased,
Obtained and sold,
Constructed by the hands of slaves,
Let it’s form crumble to earth,
To create,
With what remains,
A tomb,
I should find no rest,
In eternal afterlife,
A dark status among the perpetual...
Temptress
Fame, you entice and you lead,
In your pursuit I may suffer,
And the heart which longs for you may bleed,
As you preach your necessity to me,
And inevitably I shall seek,
To lie surrounded by you, in restless sleep,
Arise to your comforting touch,
I aspire to sense that rush,
An ecstasy,
Surging pure within my veins,
Free as my mind, uncontained,
To tell of the confessions and testaments of my...
I cannot be bound to a single fate,
To revel in the trivial, and the insignificant,
Some touching sentiment,
A skilful surgical instrument,
Places within the mind,
An adoration for a time,
When human thought is dispersed,
In morning press, or televised,
Words are written in black and white,
In disciplined columns, side by side,
Integrity preserved in prinicipal,
To diversify, would...
