Feel Poetry... don’t touch a word... just painted...
gain gravitation in the heart of Mecca,
the resting place for Kaaba. Sun has fainted.
A lucky coven cooks for stars a blackout.
I keep a tomb of IMHOs barely sainted
and follow accolades, the days to reckon...
When haloes are effloresced and untainted
the scent of love is stronger than a second.
And yet no coffin has been chiseled quickly,
no ersatz word can hide in grin its weakness.
The verse is made of fire – choose a keeper
for burning notes of pain. This music’s prickly,
but, if you look above your sheltered bleakness,
the sky is sowing rays, an eye roots deeper.

The sky is sowing rays, an eye roots deeper,
exploring gaps between “I’m here” and wilted…
It seems no time for shades to dwindle steeper
for leaves stop dancing twist, their death is quilted
and xanthous to the bones. A breathful Dipper
draws out the painful words and leaves them stilted.
When dreams lose walls they could be seen as strippers.
When whiteness covers dirt, a wind pleads guilty
to nebulizing, lighting out for breeding.
Impelling souls, it marks its changeful margins
with striking blows and a minuscule fairness.
How’s good your “good”? How many “byes” succeed it?
The face of mine, a minefield, stays lethargic.
Catch Lethe’s flow in veins with your awareness.

Catch Lethe’s flow in veins with your awareness.
You are as good as word, don’t mince it loudly.
Arenas burst into "ole" in earnest,
an eye turns urge-to-kill to stone and proudly
burns banderilla pain with kitschy dearness.
You let me out to bleed while wrath is huddling,
awaiting for the cleanup of this smear mess.
My hooves are tied and blood is muddling.
Expected Death spits spiteful entertainment,
the time was right… to meet it at the center.
Adrenaline has rushed to claim its trophy.
It pays for madness. What a huge attainment!
Corrida waits. No time to gray, just enter!
The point’s cold and piercing... in the offing.

The point’s cold and piercing... in the offing
where gleams can reach and scratch a worn-out tsata*
of endless lands. Beneath the crown’s an orphan,
deep-dreary face of sky, alike Erato*.
It wasn’t iconized since Lears lay coffined,
dissembled as the light on quotes. Its status
is known to true believers, they so often
reveal it through their tearful pain and gratis.
If soul and heart could have a hole-less pocket
filled up to brim with singing and blue flowers
where would I find rubatos* steeped in gossips?
For all I said I made a crib to rock it.
For all I know it’s worth to hear and scour,
catch last exhales of everlasting tocsin.

*tsata - an old gold or silver ornament attached to the oklad (decorative metal cover) of an icon, near the neck of the figure
*Erato - Greek myth the Muse of love poetry
*rubatos - rhythmic flexibility within a phrase or measure; a relaxation of strict time.

Catch last exhales of everlasting tocsin.
The fire tide is up to wash a flesh out.
In this reciprocation it’s outfoxing
an urge to stop its tongues to spread an ash sprout.
The speech is free to use by smoke as toxin,
it leaves behind a cinder dune rehashing
a purgatory act with all its moxie.
Where is the guard with wings? The wind is stashing
its bitterness in bells’ still starving tummy.
The screech is worn, beyond the recognition…
A soul is pinned as butterfly by rightness
on sky-rich epaulet where stars are crummy
for body-arsonists. Perfecting your contrition,
dispersing presence of the pain feel brightness.
