experimental poems for everyone

lend forth your hand should we mightily grasp
upon this another us. part we never but pair,
should we evermore share then a binding chain (of heaven).
listen me hear, wide and grope too low a fruitful,
the tender hand, not seize, but gently cradle
a quixotic you - my own together, a sought, beloved haven.
commemorate me this memory not, and climb us both the obelisk
a terrible cycle disserves our plight, our monsters grow awakening
and the vortex churns from bottom-most up a horrible, endless hurricane,
a spectacular sight from the nightmare ruptures all our hopes apart.
without to kneel, there's no feigning prayer
and one grown in manhood dares never descend,
for to wrestle oafs and put horrors at bay
or a dwelling too long among evils bend
what affording the touch of loving she my like
the abominable flesh, not inflicting psyche
for solace in each would dissolution cost
though we cannot forget (lest an either is lost).
then the manner hastily we ascend this still
and your tremulous, dimming voice, love, hurts
and reverberates out through the chamber thrill,
gives rise, then a cascade of tears outbursts.
their breadth tenfold our bodies' width
and radiant fear from strength strikes awe
and we're the inventors, and imprisoned here
both for transgressions of another's law,
they wither us cold and throttled the cage.
vain life, and yet more their pursuit grows vain
as we near our false picture in the hemisphere
but fall below trembling.

you're seven seventeen high and i six below
care to share my evenings cup of tea?
i'll fix my manners, and when you leave,
gaze out the gates of finity
you tear me torn! that i can't reach
a drifting cotton, and still you ask.
remember how love receives the moon
then bid me not race its trajectories.
and help recount what love i stress
sketch here your reasons, put off the rest
you take me great in the never no no
where children's fright and fathers' told
remains besieging a distant here
from walks farther back to a fateful year
when us each single in troubled fuss
and your beautiful, courtney red and dress
the blindness feared what deaf ears caught -
where were your hither and whence you called?
you tempt me deceitful, loving thing,
frustrating, but for the love of me care!
as fragile a glass from force impaired
but scattered wine's a spill.

a pretty high skied picture hangs
from the drifting bottom of wells
and somber rooms with empty guests,
those silhouettes of shattered light
that interrupt how bleak the corners,
how low beneath and high we stretch.
from a shifting seat according high
to a standard figure thrown nearby,
such that the dead and their like alike,
with sharing tombs in frightful night,
all equal share with forgetting soon
where lay bare we down under the moon.


but follow me hither, in the afterdream
where safe and still rest side by me
below which brings back yesterday,
in a broadback valley's image in grey,
a calm but prospering shadow at noon,
and introduce ourselves, so it begins.
to my loveliest a most the terrific you
that i dedicate better and make anew
an assembly of words that all can see,
private hooray and greatest victory,
to it that i make with justice more
for what i too lightly asked before.


proceed the creeping dawn of terror
and color my picnic a terrible mauve
then embrace the ascending cloud aloft
or take refuge, strewth, the incredible
takes grace in laughing at our escape,
and while you are the intangible string
that sets the heavens right and sends,
and a pretty eyed picture in the sky,
you haven't taught the world to paint
but peacefully settled as our manor
with practicing your palette and brush.
run by my eyes the colorful array
and strike me harder, for i'm a world,
marveling, complete in your glory.

here is a three
in the thirtiless world
as black when soon at ease
and dark the blossom green that brought
these purple eyes to please.
and nine, the farthest man can't square,
to powers one and ten,
that curves the whole in roundabout,
soon runs end by again.


then so and so inspiration goes
for another upper middle low.
