Dream-woven
The dream-woven scape
effervesces, exhorting
you to make
an elegant escape,
to forsake
the uncompromising chaos
of the quotidian,
to consecrate
a new meridian,
cast cornerstones
into a game of dice,
dance to the resonance
of a renaissance
that will suffer
no ultimatum
with the redolence
of a temporal stratum...

Pantheon
Watch as they don't
even dither before
they silver
the thirty pieces
they'll barter
for a sliver
of posterity,
surrendering
their souls
with such dexterity,
to be followed,
of course, if caught,
by some parody
of penitence, as they
take up residence
in the pantheon
of hypocrisy,
where all impulses
Pharisaic and prosaic
always reign, and

Tick-tock...
The lyre never lies
as it laments
the passage of Time.
The verdigris resignedly
grins, vestige
of a vendetta
with the aforementioned
ruler of clocks,
paradoxical sprinter
of marathons.
The glass of hours knows
warring won't work,
inveigling either;
coercing the ether
into structure, or
cowering in the corners
of existence: such
woul...

Infinitesimal
The wind chimes of serendipity
lead to a trail of runes
that neither assert, nor prove
the answer of answers, or
the plan of a demiurge,
but gently illumine
the mooring of a morning, as
silence silvers the leaves,
a synaesthesia of
infinitesimal extremes,
a simple agonizing bliss...

Demigod.
A demigod's ambivalence,
neither here, nor there,
enmeshed in both realms,
a confused existence,
neither canonical, nor apocryphal,
semi-denounced by divinity,
yet given the opportunity
to hoodwink both mortals and gods;
so, at worst, a trickster on the prowl,
but, at best, a descent of the Beyond,
meant to liven up the Here and Now.

Eavesdropping...
Eavesdropping on the future,
you even hazard a guess
of your own, before
the Pythia prophesies,
but then you hear
her runaway sigh,
adding, thus, further
clues of foreboding
to a trail that
won't truly be trodden,
for her utterances
might as well be
bowdlerized, varnished
with a half-knowing
that gilds the cage
you'll be forced
to reside in, onc...

Flawed
The day's parlance
lacks all patience.
So many seem
to need a sceptre
on which to balance
all that incompetence.
And the potion
in the cauldron
aims to animate
nobody but the zealot.
But what if
the very premise
is flawed, crumbles
at the mere mention
of a wrathful god?

Senseless...
Though unready for such leaps,
Forced to confront
All the crimson of the epoch,
And a lexicon that lives
Closer to comfort, yet
Further from the truth,
As we stand faithless
Before the fulcrum
That could let flourish
The coveted equilibrium,
An un-becoming of the ego,
A veto to the vertigo
Caused by a nexus
Of the nefarious, angling
For the negation
Of...

Butterfly...
An earth scorched
in accordance with chaos
and a butterfly,
with its nonchalance
of the passer-by,
its audacity
to inflict an odyssey
on the uninitiated,
who never anticipated
such Goliaths, forcing
them to rise
to the occasion of love,
in the very face
of an unrelenting dark...

Chrysalis...
The caprice of the chrysalis,
refusing metamorphosis,
demanding that which
won't ever be granted:
an armistice with Time,
its prime antagonist,
just so secrets
and spectres may
stay cocooned
in that elemental
phase for yet
another moment,
or two...

Alchemy...
An alchemy of the numinous
and the maniacal,
a pained enigma,
a manacled charisma
in hiding, as
the volcanic may,
indeed, harbour traces
of the shamanic, yet
the somersault between
extremes, tinged
with tragedy, will
rarely cease long
enough to let
flourish a peace
that presides, perhaps,
inside the very hub
of a merciless wheel...
