Nebulous Horizon

I gaze beyond the phasing face
of the nebulous horizon,
searching in clamorous silence
for a hypnotic glimpse
of your poetic sparks ~ lost,
placed within the kohl-dust
of dreariness dressed
in deceitful dancing diamonds,
like layered silver and gold,
seared by Zeus’s thunderous wrath,
leaving memories engraved
in satanic sapphires
across the tempestuous teal 
soaked in surging tears 
             unshed and unseen...

I’ve long been fighting
demons masked as the raven visage
of my bleeding silhouette,
preaching kindness whilst feeding
my soul with venomous verses ~
the poisoned truths of past turbulence.

But I refuse to drown in despair.
I will dance through the
dimmed spheres ~ eclipsed and torn ~ 
to reach the amorous arms 
of compassion,
awaiting amidst splitting sorrow.

And when it rains, 
my heart quivers,
haunted by inner thoughts;
my mind paints lines of love
in darkness and disarray,
for I fear never seeing
the saffron light on 
the moon’s tender lips.

And in the midst of 
p u s h i n g and p u l l i n g, 
trapped in aching coldness,
afraid of losing the warm,
golden strands of roseate dusk,
I hide and fade like
love’s heat at twilight,
burying the poetic longing
within storms of melancholy,
waiting for another
cup of coffee at sunset ~ 
where your name ricochets
        like reveries of romance
and your voice reverberates 
       like musical mists of monsoon,
carving an ambience 
             of delicate desires
tying me to the ombre amber
s i n g i n g songs 
             of solace, forevermore....
