Like a storm cloud –
On the darkest, day of a days
A shuttering thunder, from deep away
A sharp eruption, from dull decay
A quickening crack, to full astray

Then explosion –
From an anger,
On full display.

Influences –
Of luminous radiation
Within proportional emissions
Of a flowing bow

Combines a character –
A framed rim transformation
Within a focused soul
Of a ghostly now.

A gravitized center
In binary form

Spins a radius, orbit
Into a filament –
Storm.

Burst frame precision
Distorted –
By rage
Re-plans its destruction
Through a formation,
Rampage.

A halcyon silver
Shakes the night
A grudging sky
A spirit light

A shadow ghost
A shaking sight
Through darkshine signs
Of unnerving, bright.

A delicate, dark existence
Determined, to breakthrough
Drapes, its deep appearance
Within a death throw –
Of true.

Pause, just a moment
For that junction, of true
Knowing, what you see
Is that moment, for you

Take, a shallow breath
And closely listen, to me
As my words, are the question
That tells me, what you see

Hark, my cold words
Within the symbols, I write
Where that sliver, of a mind
Becomes the shadow, of light

The concepts, that I see
And the visions, I show
Are still, not quite here
And neither real, nor unknown.

Because we could not stop to die
Death did not stop for me;
The stars hold true a measured cloak
Of pure passivity.

We slowly wake, and see a truth
That makes a stark reveal;
That time and prescience cannot hide
Our raw, mortality.

Excited, false vistas
Imagining, their state
Reflect, a pareidolia
When deciding,
To create.

Masking via motion
Moving offset night
Magnificent – interactions
From a spiritual,
Sunset light.
