Persistence Of Secret Love
Persistence Of Secret Love

I call out to dark shadow on the shore,
thinking they must be somebody I know,
but they have never existed in time,
mind designed with fear-automated gears
that wind our mouths with beams of earnest light,
reckless with persistence of secret love.
If I should offer pessimistic codes
without bitterness through security
for industrial passion of eager hearts
with expeditious game of narratives,
I may voice constant struggles to transcend
thematic alarm of personal faith.
Larger forces in our shared catastrophe
render masters of sloganeering tricks
responsible for scouring observations
designed to model how we weigh our worth
when we inhabit avatars of faith
against diminishment of miracles.
Aghast at framing device angels use
to change trajectory of mutant ploys,
I gaze in gleam of well water with goal
to measure firmament of splendid souls
who precede cosmic fixture of old fruit
in harmony with psychic consequence.
Thus I invert heavens with casual stance
in potent reversal of separateness
through isolation of our frantic hearts
to find divine spirit of clarion faith
in subterranean space of pulsing brains
where we shelter in place from foul disease.
Set on evading fraught taxonomy
through calm bewilderment of honesty,
I tally inventory of my dreams
to comprehend rich treasures I possess
while trudging dusty road of jagged thoughts
as mordant observer of ardent faith.
I taste cathedral stone of elegy
amid debris of crumbling tapestries
that shroud hope-wrecked cars in junkyard of faith
to weep for poisoned land of brutal truth
that foils green memory of warm sun
calibrated with moral questions of fate.
Safe on mixed-grass prairie of humble pride,
I build new kingdom of wind in the heart
that converts veritable floating ark
of nameless creatures writhing in my heart
so I broadcast signal of wordless songs
that roots my body as idol of faith.
