Missing image

Latex parables,

figment sheaths spread over cerebral castle,

crowned in pristine vows of steel eschatology,

uttered in midnight rants

from the chasms of resilience's

caricatured rose garden,

blooming in sanguine stained Venus flytrap phobias.

 

Seeds dribbled from mental drool in pillow strumpets,

ashen skeletons and sapphire seraphs,

rise from the sandman plowed emerald furrows,

suppressed metamorphosis conjures them

as panacea's phantom martyrs

who moan enunciated truculent echoes

from recrimination's compost heap.

 

Vines of conscience infuse fantasia's Polaroid incarnations

of desire's sorcerer,

who conjures denial's carnival of biography revisionism,

a cranial cotillion surreal,

imbued with counterfeit effulgence,

traipsing in fabrication's steps

through creation's artificially inseminated vanity clowns,

and rationale's theme park of feigned achievement attractions.

 

Eyes holding ticket to the daydream

circus abode of quintessence

where one has a permanent residence,

while face and form are traced by welcome mat

upon the shelter of the flesh,

a place the mind just visits,

between rides on reverie's roller coaster.

    Congratulations on your win. I see how the contest holder wanted this stack of words that produce an interior effect on one's imagination. Great lines.


    as my own

    Such a wonderfully prolific piece of abstract delight here. Very well penned, and powerful in its composure. I especially enjoyed:

    "ashen skeletons and sapphire seraphs,
    rise from the sandman plowed emerald furrows"

    .. the visual here is superb, so very intense and thought provoking ..

    "while face and form are traced by welcome mat
    upon the shelter of the flesh,
    a place the mind just visits,
    between rides on reverie's roller coaster."

    .. I just loved this bit, so very clever - and a great closing for the piece ..

    Excellent write. Thank you for your entry!
