phosphorescence [reprise]

By stupra

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Your phosphorescent heart shivers in time with the fading neon glow of heavenly dismembered dreams Dark caress of the soul enlivens your search for absurdity You reach out Take the succulence from the sky The stars tremble with joy cowering in the moonlight This is not real this dream In and out of darkness with a steady hand Essence toiling away in violent sparks blinding and everlasting You're talking to yourself again Speaking words you don't understand Words of thought and emotion crashing against you like so many fireflies lost in the night You don't exist in the swirling world around you Invisible tongue lapping at the truth If only for a taste of something sweet and sublime The god below rising to take every man, woman and child with slow, sensual indifference Cover your eyes You do not want the light The sin of a new day A new game... To be alone is to be lost in past flavor looking blindly down at the crease from your hand to your phosphorescent heart Push the static behind your eye Lay down the card and trip open the doors Think pretty words rolling smoothly...i think this may be the strangest, most different thing i've written to date...
