Seething stars through bloodshot eyes
In silent scenes of death
Races, violently, burning
For a never want of rest

Gaming, future, systems
Like a treasure found for me
I realize that returning
Is a spot I cannot see

I mention, saying, never, known
In a heart that doesn’t exist
As destiny leans on through
And puts its end to this.

Phased deep, ejectica
Of a glowing, dark mass
Illuminates, it’s infrared
Winding –
Phased gas.

The crashing
Of color
In a crinkle
Sublime –

Makes the wish
Of another
A pure sprinkle,
Of time.

A reflection of how
A deflection of thought
A motion of now –
For the path –
That we’ve sought.

Alone, in our fear –
Of its subtle dark,
Strike

We see, in our selves –
A diffraction starved,
Spike.

Framed, understandings
Within a complex –
Of fate

Returns, a mosaic
Of its unchecked –
True state.

Telescopic, snap fields
Incandescent, in shape
Recaptured, as a vision
Of a flared –
Anchored scape.

Intimate Now

Within my memory
Flashed from birth,
I feel the complexity
Of the vastness –

Both inner and outer,
Intricate and simple,
Chaos coupled to clarity
In a memorized meaning – of the now.

Backdrops of color
Alive, and alone
Are the wonders
In nature
Of a thriving,
Unknown.

Measured, gross emissions
Combined,
By brute force

Detracts, from a vision
Of a designed,
Streamed source.
