El Poesic Pique del Pulchritude.


I.

Inconversant
to cognizant sensation
keeping monologue with
murdered relativities,
coagulate discriminations
diurnal nights half-
past witching hour

Fused kindle to pentagram
those of weary mind,
smitten witless mindless
by your quietous bloom
drifting 'cross perception

ragged tethers-
involved comeliness
the breath impeding
reflective clearness
swine know

equally cower
against

II.

As terrible cloudforms
misshapen omnipotence
clamored above rocking pen
and Good Fellow to
Fear's bosom.

words
bruted
sound

unwilling forces
that compelled
prophet
to scribe
showered
God's Awakening
when chisel
met granite:

most
b a s i c
element

transcending beauty:
organized chaos of
independent
contemplation

III.

Forming airwaves,
echoes in prophet's
footprints
prehistoric of molding
yet fecundic of Fate
archaic of wonderment
yet o'ergrown in Galaxy
through Nostradamus's
periscope as to you

Poesy

was torch taken.

The churlish fled-
monarchy
harvested under
a moon
spilt Red.

IV.

Mournfully giving light
fretter, scolder and quibbler

Tri
Ni
Ty

Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Martrys of
the new Fortune
beat quilled nib 'twixt
shadows and afterglow,
lanterns striking
sight to rung
and noose

I held monologue
with dialogue
as stone hurled laden
of a thousand emnities
painting brow
cresting preception
contorting sensibility of ration

Unable to gather
Speech's elegance
and dress her hand.

V.

Knelt basked
in reverence
'neath your closure
Each rolling tear
fleeting down
pathways
into soul:

'twas
pressed palms
confused rawness
who sought

this end
not I

that in your honor
erect monuments

today
inside

my Garden
of Sorrow

El Poesic Pique del Pulchritude.

I first began writing at the age of 5, and I’ve dreamt of the day when eloquent speech would digress from being anachronistic and just plain esoteric to my critics and fans alike, and would instead take me elsewhere. I one day wish to be the one reading alongside Penny Arcade, Emily XYZ and the likes of Allen Ginsberg. “Always remember that while Art may be product, product can never be called Art.” —Penny Arcade
