Sinews Of Electric Words

She weaves references of angelic stones
in tangled sinews of electric words
beyond comprehension of mortal minds
which sparkle with frozen sheen of brave rain
so I may witness suffering of mankind
in tales erased from archive of our hearts.

Filled with shy conviction of earnest faith,
she strides with rebellion of untamed song
down pathway of unspeakable respect
against foundational effort of hope
to discipline her uncontrollable mind
trapped in dire narrative of tragic love.

Notching arrow of truth in bow of love,
she fires intense trajectory of change
across attentive hollow of lost time
composed of history angels never share
with borrowed words of honest travesty
that threaten frail security of faith.

Obsessive passion for relating truth,
which should examine brutal hours of fear,
writhes from locked archive of hungry hearts
to crawl on wounded breast explicitly
down centuries of manufactured lies,
then lies in mystic ruins of half-burned books.

Reductive code of illegible dreams
still urges me to explore shadowed wood
with twisted curiosity of tunes
which unify disjointed claims of trees
choosing to array both present and past
through coexistence of ghosts in my brain.

Inspired by stars she names with whispered voice,
she chases echoes of misaligned thoughts,
exposing lies of painters who despise
false wholeness of virtual reality
contrived to imitate national myths
translating jokes from penitential cries.

Hushed willows anchored in glow of weird eyes
betray her safety with bold promises
based on ruthless energy of contempt
bound by urgent expectations we sell
through coopted struggle of emptiness
that leaves us stranded on cold roadless plain.

Debased by facts of cruel modernity,
our grandest university of truth
decays from corporate comedy of greed
though hearts beat rapidly with holy pride
when anxious Orpheus pounds at the wall
while chewing rotten alphabets of dreams.
