Tangled Web Of Tales

Striated currents of strange memories
stamp my face with token of swaddled luck
consistent with self-knowledge of mute rain
based on analysis of fractured facts
collected by angelic satellites
to map asynoptic patterns in charts.

Retributive disguise my ghost contrives
teaches me how to prepare for the hour
when I will stand before tribune with pride
to challenge angels wielding swords of flame
with cultured grace of pretentious contempt
based on indifference of nature I code.

Old-fashioned beauty hidden in her heart
exposes glorious passion for the truth
which still inspires lethargic clowns to fight
for equal opportunities to work
after we testify in court of power
about adventures to the Promised Land.

Eager to channel psychic energy
through tangled roots of simulated words
designed to imitate the albatross
as symbol that must designate free will,
I lift weight of my ardent soul to prove
spiritual breath fuels engine of the brain.

Somewhere in sunburnt pastures of lost hope
my heart explores vicinity of fear
to empty hollow arrogance of faith
from forgotten traumatic memories
contained by powerlines on ice-cracked poles
that weave our hearts in tangled web of tales.

Ophelia sweeps dry leaves in piles of souls
who whisper sorrows with windchimes of whimsy
which urges me to wake from lethargy
and speak of crimes that oligarchs commit
which contains their destructive force of hate
within bright apparition of some god.

Unnoticed by strangers in our strange land,
I build new city of sadness and laughter
to show our doubts are insignificant
compared by formulas for mental states
invented by the woman with twelve wings
who bids me record for posterity.

Since I am able to write from the grave
about objective things with words I love,
I hold my sweetheart in protective arms,
then gaze with curiosity of trust
in mirror eyes black as the midnight moon
to see real beauty of her inner soul.
