    In the reflection,
    obtuse, misused,
    there was a mention
    of macadamia nuts in
    dark chocolate,
    soft pale flower petals
    swirling in a lake
    of dark dimension,
    and the cross-eyed
    comprehension was
    several oms removed
    but sacred ceremony
    to the mind of the confused.

    A sea of stimuli
    visual and chronical
    as unhappy as the lie
    of happily ever after,
    as stoic as the lone
    dancer pounding out the
    rythms of bones and dust
    on the crust of the heavy
    heavy world.

    Into the light and
    paradoxically submerged
    in black, slipped through
    the cracks and limped
    through the lips of the
    exhalation of elation,
    caught in the veil
    of the descending sky
    draping the beds
    where angles lie,
    tasting the tongues of wit
    the veil is light with
    holes poked through it
    and the sky is light
    with darkness drowning it.

    yay! so great to read something new from ya! I loved that first stanza, seemed a bit more grounded in reality to me, I get a definitive "scene" in my head, and it allowed the other two, more ethereal, stanza's to breathe for me. again, good to see you around! come back soon :)

    A robust cup
    of languishing onyx,
    jet piercing
    tantrika garlands,
    calls for the darshan
    of Kali.

    Dakshini devas coil,
    like nagas,
    about angelic
    conceptual canopies;
    spiraling ever southward.

    Past obsidian daggers,
    spitting lamas travel,
    into the gapping maw
    of crested peaks.

    Yet again,
    as ever starless,
    the body of Nuit
    spills rippling
    as expansive
    indescription.

    Yeah, I had this revelation (perhaps misguided) oneday, due to a tiny reflection of light on a plastic bottle that light is more darkness than light. When I crossed my eyes and looked at this reflection it dissolved into a black spot with tiny dots of light in it. Really made me think.
