Aquarium Of Her Heart

While I swim in aquarium of her heart
I listen to weird dreams of lonely people
who walk together in dark corridors
against slow current of incessant change
till body of my soul erodes to words
that ring with eerie music of the stars.

Remarkable though wisdom seems to be
with virile attitude for courtiers,
who sell complicit books of rancid spells,
I strip my soul of satisfied contempt
based on denial smuggled past despair
to prove my love is precious as lake mud.

Forsworn from stories of desiccant hope,
that fortune promises would wreck my plans,
I dare row frail canoe in gloomy swamp
where ghosts explore new options of intent,
too eager to invest in roots of trees,
while clowns record long documentaries.

Resilient through tenderness of hope
with passion from immediacy of fear,
she teaches me to inhabit my body
at intersection between truth and dare,
so shocked effects of arrogant respect
produce contextual riddles we exchange.

Replacing pyramid of star-eyed gods
with grim cathedral of the vampire king,
I channel anguish of confused regret
through crackling radios of whispered bombs,
entrapped by fraught theology of faith
that dazzle fools with dreams of paradise.

Expecting Jesus to return today
and marry Chimalma by Lake of Eyes,
I set up camera on tripod of trust
to film their wedding for the world to watch,
yet Tlaloc woos Venus with magic ring
that lets her hear our thoughts we would conceal.

Stifled by contemptuous sermons of faith
that twist our hearts in darkness of soft prayers,
I fumble along cold museum wall
to find mask of Lucifer I must wear
which strengthens my heart with courage of love
to fight against cruel tyranny of greed.

Saturated with brave astonishment
for radiant beauty of the human soul,
I write my name on water of the heart
so energetic light of my mute soul
may sing enchanting spell of honesty
while I swim in aquarium of her heart.

Orpheus steals mask of Lucifer, then sells it to Apollo for thirteen thousand dollars so his son Orion, who is in love with Chimalma, may inherit the aquarium of her heart.
