I.
Weeping.
The redemption of
a tragic moment.
Self-imprisoned,
spiraling outward,
blissfully.
oblivious.
Would it seem untoward,
if I told you that
"I am worthy of burning?"
I could choke
on these tears
and live forever
in the womb
of your sorrow.
No decline.
No tomorrow.
AN ETERNAL TODAY.

With this luminescent terror we are bombarded
so as to better understand the smothering darkness.
And likewise how profoundly with this chill are we stricken
so as to better appreciate our consumation in the fire.
Have you contemplated the depths (of that which you are)
while traversing the rain-soaked highways of your imagination,
inhaling the moisture that, once, was air, redolent
with the lust of infinite, infernal passions?
This permeable transformation remains, undeniable,
though too often assuming the wicked moniker of fear,
a countenance of revulsion that stifles a love, intrinsic.
and I weep for them.
and I feel sick.

A love so perfect,
an act of confusion!
Action.
Reaction.
Conclusion.
