Vivacissimo in Poetry & Free Verse

Forget the twisted directionality, diaphaneity of your heart.

Your idiosyncratic life; a guarded jewel, is withering.

We are nothing. and yet,

our existences still seep into each other.

An intertwined mixture of pitiful identities. The world is an ocean and I can not wait to drown in it.

Lost. Under the frayed velvet ropes of your Earth.

Orion

I was wrong.

I used to believe

Constellations were a vain creation

A whimsical attempt to extract meaning

From the presence of light

To find method in an abyss of darkness

However

Now I understand

Their enticement

Elaborate distractions

Offering ubiquitous fantasies

Countless dreams enslaved to our sky

That transcend my dull existence

Providing hope

Of beauty in this life

A naïve comfort

Awaiting desolate entities

Despite their unobtainable distance

My eyes wander

In search of a drowned radiance

To indulge in their merciful diversion

From my own reality

As I gaze upon stars

Far away from this planet

Far away from me.

Photons

Civilizations heroic warrior

Calling upon sub-atomic particles to banish their darkness

To help them lock their skeletons in the deepest corners of their hearts

And forget the monsters that lurk in their souls

We ask for company away from ourselves

Personifying photons into beauty

When all they do is create a distraction

A pitiful attempt of an unexperienced apparition

To pretend they are not consumed by the reality of their identity,The reality of our own darkness

Crystal

Golden Dreams

Frivolous Greed

Transparent as your crystal wishes

Opaque intentions

Empires of lies

A storm of jewels

A storm of gems

And you my darling

You are the eye of the storm

Diablo

Our flaws condemned

Fixing an error in human nature

Pretending we are perfect

As if the devil weren't inside us all

Silhouette

Tremendously basic

A forgotten name

A forgotten face

I am nothing but a silhouette

Caught in the shadow of stars

Nonexistent

Alone

I wait to be remembered

Wandering aimlessly

Hoping to make an impact

Watching from the sidelines

My legacy is forgotten

As I plunge into the unknown

And hope that this is my oppurtunity

To be more than a silhouette

Deciduous

Cruel Fate

Unbearable Pain

Personified Beauty

Broken Destiny

As your dreams fall with your leaves

Vibrant colors

Reminding you

Of what you could have been

Words

An intricate structure waiting to built

Forging pathways in darkness

Uniting and diving

Conquering the souls of countless

Creating a network of ideas

Drowning in a sea of thoughts

In myself

Words illuminating 

Words enlightening

Words engulfing 

Popularity contest

Beauty pageant

Lavishly devoting ourselves

Flaunting every gem

And hiding every shadow

Survival of the fittest

Escaping

Transceding

Becoming

Welcoming ideas

Refugees from a cruel competition

Sheltered from the cruel reality

Not from their own magnitude

Whether they wreak havoc

Create illustrious fantasies

Ignite desires

Words are ideas

A burden of creativity 

Is our responsibility

Our ideas create our world

And we cannot hide from our shadows

Hiding them in closets

Locking them in the deepest corner of ourselves

Perfection is a vain ambition

We our compromised of our ideas

Our words

Fortunate enough

To have found a place

In which they do not have to hide in closets

In ourselves

Where they can engulf others

And fly

Airplanes

Our vain ambition

Perpetuating across the sky

Attempting to become what we are not

The sky is no place for man

Saturn

Bathed in the iridescent glow

Cherished blindly

Flaunting its exquisite exterior

Brewing in the shadows 

Awaits the true masterpiece

Withdrawing its exquisite interior

We search without looking

We find without knowing

Do not open your eyes to beauty

Open your soul

Emerge from the shadows

Show how exquisite you are

And watch the demise of Saturn

As its superficial empire collapses
