Clock Of My Slick Heart

The graceful gazelle of my lonely heart
leaps swiftly in the forest of mad ghosts
then grazes on rainbow-flashing mushrooms
which animate fractured stone in my soul
to laugh with delight at cycle of change
which transforms my illusion of the world.

The crafty devil of my wicked heart
emerges from bright pool of honey slime
with pulsing passion of fierce eagerness
to taste intensity of writhing bones
when we mold our pliant bodies in shape
jittery with pleasure of shared despair.

The voyeuristic clock of my slick heart
grants frantic fantasy of sated faith
through cloyed confession of treacly excess
with satisfaction of the charming kiss
from serendipity of shocked desire
despite inflexible logic of love.

The hungry ghoul of my capricious heart
rotates regressive head of lucky lust
corrupt with escalating howl of hope
resembling dazed mortician of my muse
who stimulates my brain with hurricane
more legendary than my fight with death.

The ardent raven of my filthy heart
sprays sweet perfume to hide the stench of hope
detected by bold courage I disguise
as gruesome contempt for beautiful truth
which I attempt to market in the church,
giving lost refugees purpose to die.

The fractured diamond of my selfless heart
extracts repulsive wisdom from deep graves
to summon greedy angels trapped in flesh
with glorious boon of unindentured gods
who swallow pithy gratitude of grief
against harsh laughter of the empty home.

The weightless burden of my hungry heart
sinks ocean liners with addictive tricks
compiled as puzzles by grim kitchen cooks
who seal our screaming souls of unlocked brains
in glass time capsule designed to conceal
treasonous plot of the attractive angel.

The fake prize of my sentimental heart
leads immigrants exiled from Fairy Land
to conquer grotesque paradise with faith
through vulgar prayers for native privilege
contracting terror of abandoned children
who throw singing skulls in the wishing well.
