Carrion Destiny
These forgotten remnants of expression,
Have transpired into a self prophecy , a serendipitous ruin
Stacks of lined paper regrets , lying in a supine , sacramental way
Foretelling the inevitable completion of ignorance that has plagued my now-a-days, for a seemingly unending duration of personal despondence
Dis-associated commitments of progression reverberating their invigorating chorus of profound worthlessness
What have I achieved through this exemplary theme ?
Naught but a vain attempt at conceiving an organic excuse to pursue the ineffable wanderings of my own futile attempt at reconciliation
Trembling unwaveringly to the brutal and ruthless condemnation of judgement itself
What I have perceived as ethereal serenity , could just as easily be contorted into another's like-minded acceptance of apparent sondererance
This constitution of probable outcome leaves me feeling faintly useless and left aquiver to the incomprehensible extremities of what we cannot adhere to
Nervously existing within the sonorous landscape of laugh-track normalities
Becoming intoxicated by the aftermath of fumes bellowing out from the potent petrichor of what has descended through fate's imminent mandate

Angel Next to Me
Your kisses and luscious lips that leave me
All aquiver in the aftermath of the pleasure
Storm. Your porcelain and ethereal skin that
Makes you look like an angel that comes
Down from the heavens. Your soft and
Petrichor hair that fans and spreads out
Across the satin pillowcases. Your presence
That is ineffable. Your usually supine body
Twists away from me so I cannot always
Read or see the expression that crosses
Your face. This is our serendipity that plays
Out right before us. Sonorous sleep and
Dreaming of everyone else’s sonder.

Down from the heavens. Your soft and
Petrichor hair that fans and spreads out
Across the satin pillowcases. Your presence
That is ineffable. Your usually supine body
Twists away from me so I cannot always
Read or see the expression that crosses
Your face. This is our serendipity that plays
Out right before us. Sonorous sleep and
Dreaming of everyone else’s sonder.

Eight Amalgamate
#Ethereal #hush, the birds have all flown
the pretension measured and know whats to come
the world wakes #aquiver# and trembles and heaves
the earthquake dust masks all #petrichor# the morning dew leaves
the mountain shouts with a #sonorous# roar
the volcano spits an #ineffable# discharge out poured
a #serendipity# day lies broken and torn
brimstone and fire the wrath of the Gods
brimming majesty in the midst of chaos
in tangle and panic and fearing their last
humanity down, the #sonder# of their lives running out fast
as we lie on the beach in the glorious sunshine
with the ash raining down on our bodies #supine#
!and KIM JONG UN looked out in disgust
His rocket facility had just lost its thrust!

The Library Ethereal Of Faery
It Was When She Discovered The Library Ethereal
She Found Ancient Texts , Scrolls Of Sign And Seal
Setting Mundane Earthly Consciousness Aquiver
Until Her Hands Shook And Her Whole Body Shivered
Tomes Filled With The Wafts In Drafts Of Petrichor
Scripted With Old Spells And Wisdom Of Faery Lore
Her Heart Spilling Over With Untold Joy Ineffable
That All Within , Page After Page Was Still Legible
And She Thanked All The Gods For The Serendipity
Which Led Her To This Very Moment Of Synchronicity
Leading Her Mind , Not To Be Blind , And Deep Ponder
The Awesome Workings Of A Multiverse And Her Sonder
And Then Glorious In Her Deepest Voice So Sonorous
And Echoed By Library Walls , And Halls So Thunderous
She Read Words Long Unheard Since All Was Long Lost
And What Great The Sorrow Was From What Terrible Cost
When All The Realms Divided Where The Faery Abided
And So Overwhelmed , She Fell , Laying On Back Supine
And Saw , Etched On A Dome Above The Ancient Seals And Signs !
