Violets, Twice by Golden Light

Came five harmonies,

come the wings of ameliorate humming,

quintet, quintessential quibbles,

mercies nervous music, from queues

of white-vented plumeleteer.


Captious couplets quick quivering,

firths of quicksilver, 

mirror motions of Rainbow Starfrontlet,

coronet of corona, iridescent,

teachable songs, transient humming.


Reach analogous, obtain,

morning glitter of cacophonies, 

airing voices of versicolored emerald,

black metaltail has gone,

purple-throated woodstar, legend succumb. 




By arbitrary till I unearthed a grave of feathers,

beckon flight I cried, if sorrowful tears may quarrel,

cacophony, rise, ascend, remedy dove, Eucharist! 


I bring the grub, I bare for you sesame, same of

sunflowers, resist the clouds which fill your chest,

abide my tears for bathing, your summers bath!


N’er you loyal beads of red raspberries, about the

thorns Polana, I weary at wells for comfort, thirst

for wings vacant sky, bent grief suffice your beauty!




Falling garments of bind less November,

painters of the atoning seamstresses, must

practice the nude, limerence in seven vale’s 

of oak, contextual pigments that touch the 

husk, of lady dancers for scissoring share, 

sinuous legs of wind shaven branches. The 

queen sun doff her morning hat, ermine of 

the gentlest light, shadows in molt of first 

pretense, pare from night, the unbuttoned 

aura, atmospheres of the flesh, round the 

leaves of fringe and flange. Wears forbade

sweet exodus, every précis of contour line, 

sketch the figures for the sighs, forest flames 

conform the thresholds, extremities long 

story, adjacencies brief of brink or bound.




My heart is lowered, flattening as baseboards of

Plebeian, I fracas the gaudy wounds serdab, I

dishonored the physique of my beloved by shorn.


In all the bindings shrill or turbulent, I spoke

my quittance of charivari, I desired the pierce

of fervor, but my vociferantcies cut fond thunder.


By regional years I sought for the exotic, cries

of polarity, giving myrtle hopes to Aphrodite,

but I less staircase, when cicisbeo approached.


She raises her suns of gravitas, she was my neap

tide of eternal hunger, all I tremble erotic, I am

certain who she is, failing, death I peal her rose.




I am not alone, I am the land of ancestors,

braille by flesh, I feel call and book, my dolmen 

church of congregations. I can not live isolate,

nor perish without attendants, they amend the

lining instructions of my hands, I am fostered

aegis, sheltering in the tipstaves, generations

of long stones, they portreeve the library of

my tongue. 


I have succumb to vedette summer, only to

requiem by fall, I have died often, having

never died at all. I am buried in the under

writings of praetorians, I am the gentleman

of arms lost beneath blades of Argus, I am

the mother shore of Denmark, who died in

childbirth, next friend of infinity, I crowd

quay, elder Angels.




It is slight of hand, when musicians of Zanfona,

specter illustrations of Prospero, terse the twice

tale of the earth, made of melody, not of word.

Crwth betrayals to betray, wounds she left in

portrait bled, so wept for oud the otic flowers, 

pittites concordance of aural rain, or thereby of

Bengal summer’s unrequited sun, hear the rays 

of glass Armonica. Signet bare the audibles 

rosined wheel, the painters of draalier, yea-say 

sprites bowed psaltry, bound vistas yet to come, 

disillude the hand bells chant, theatrical trees per

knees of chorus, bend bay the plight of drums.




I listened to land say, come walk with me,

Anne Sparks brushed against my ankles,

saying… follow me!


I would supple her gems on tiptoe, and

carol her blush from breezes, waltz soft

her memories, to the top of the hills.


I left her on lanes of red shoulders, for the

sea dampened Wintersonne, to hear press

of sodden peat, the Crane call…


Silver-gray the longship is coming, Erica

Carnea is aboard, abridge from way of

lather sail, come the Celts, but shore!


There by early star and wonders of the

vale-ntine, I wove in heart of Praecox

Ruby, love bore of May, pray heather.




Plea embrace sweet join, beloved, hands bright

color, hard sessile winters, Aladdin the snow,

apparition water!


Ukase the missionary of blue, aspirant breath,

spring tide, render, replenish, the violet blood,

that rounds the chest.


Kinship of Indigo, cruor, the covering body

or quilt nor’easter, the dim sighted bruise,

syenite of megrims, pleasure, bare white.




Rotaries night of bearing, orbits in spliced horns

of celestial stags, grander doe’s in satin vices of

wedding rings, flying squirrels in discus of solar

windlassing, or the Ovid flights of boomerangs.

It became the black linen of the widow, the loy 

and cuffs of the chimneysweep, in dark displeasure

the blacksmith ignited the stars, with his tweezers 

of Taurus, a pincer’s sword in rivet of iron planets.

The sleepless burn the nights of synchromesh, by

radiuses, or spirals of the silver spoon’s, ever last

incumbent, where the baling bull, or Lepus hare, 

swim in the rivers of amphora, forAquarian habits.  




Child of dying words, of Parthian shot,

I am the after-piece, the litter beyond the

wind, I have failed to rake myself together.


I farther now, from the Thule of swans,

the innocence that in whereby love, made

faith, in praise of candied feathers. 


Among decousu I chaperone, associations

that may have been, before the series of 

of Möbius began, shards lost by intermission.


Sleep per saltum, the catches of the rout, in

muster’s tussock, what are sheaf hands in

assembly, fardel lions, of broken irons? 





H


So much of tufthunter fright, found an augustness

of sobrieties, in repute of venerable, royal beauty, 

yet come to faith the crestfallen statuettes, grommet  

garments, the timeserver left.




I dance the page, anatomizing letters of sounds

transparent, sonancy of friendship in sibilations,

offering clarities hymns. In blind night I hear

the hale, as Melodie’s of lovers kept impression,

auscultations of cavities chest, alto once, of tales 

false. Sounds of idioms triangulating as phonetics 

inform, the distance between subjects, Suzerainties 

of relics, the verjuice or alum of anger, the prune 

which emits mystic voices of curdled temper, I still

hear resonates promising. I run fingers through 

the shapes of her echo, what is unpublished by strain,

crystal yet, all songs her applicable shaman.




Speak the leaves in discourses of baritone, I

comprehend the dialect of heavy thicket, it is

the virgin house of wild violets, there will be

no penetration.


I am the cuts of brambles opinion, threads

of fresh sweater, attest to the hostilities, might

I ravel on, finding less docile in welcomes of

boysenberries.


I could posture firm from cobbles, or pine a

shade of ogle, in raptures of the parasol trees,

but should I permit to reach for flors-de-lies

of timber, cusp will count, the medic burrs of  

Harpagonella!




It was a very masculine crocus, it’s purple 

somewhat conspicuous, I called on it’s name,

and my cupidon made quiet meta of Sthenelus.


It made bedfellow with seven, and a very 

demure tuck, I with the bees made quarrels,

some wing of Kama’s throat, argued disrelish.


Sthenelus keep a long life, he abode offense

with fervor, the conjugal aspirations of regent

butterflies withdrew their tongue, steadied by

coquette, he remained open, as caritas un-beset. 




In the moment is music, it will cymbal, 

it will string, breath will come to us by

many flutes. It clashes you boisterous 

by broken dish, it may louden discomfort

by siren or horn, or mercy by philomel,

your songbird home. 


Comes the orchestra of many instruments,

the composite of composers, is our choice,

to Tuesday woodwinds, or Wednesday 

kettle. Might we shout brass, one another,

or comfort the billowing child, by viola,

carol choice, our wren be.




I envelope here, names of roses, to courtship

cuttings FFion, paper 1st anniversary, Bella

Christina, finikin pink absent friends, it will

be life, bruisings of Blush Noisette.


Agnes grew pale yellow, in lost affections of

Ghita, fingers seemly white beneath Boule de

Neige, she made the run of cottontails, Joie 

de vivre, beside sad bests of breech.




Out of wolfs mouth flew the Cornish hen, 

from needles belonephobia, umbra must

parsley pinions from the teeth. I’ve heard 

rumors by gooseflesh, I must candelabrum 

from gullet, I am to magic miracles, by 

shadow numbers, or portent find the golden 

butterflies, under shroud of night. I built

shade trees from silhouettes, to parasol 

from cent mantles of violent eyes, and from

Archeronians baldachins, fearsome lessons

of ommetophobia, but in the Moore light,

the joyful, fear my flutes. 




Willow trees of Magna Carta, such Scouler’s 

by teats of river, nursing wakes as a woman 

weeps, what is early bone, for dory rain.


Anjiis came to hold by finite spring, but single

hills of relevant fingers, this salix of touch I

baptize, parlance cord my metal heart.


I feel her loss in satin blue of copper, private

symposia, her azure key where the gaits my

body locks, wait her carols in liberties, to open

the nights of notch.





With or when the tears, the picayune weeps,

thimble before love’s metropolis, I wound the

clouds to dark for me, rain for such, I could 

not read. 


At once to come forward, at once to leave,

I proper ingresses without direction, stagnancies

regard the firth, or suspicion by the waterways,

remorses of the paper mark.


In the myriad of the voids, the islander stands,

a squatters sharing, as the oceans seeps, how 

broken the arms by oar, I offend the deep, how

the cotter miss, her cherish keep'




Patchwork butterflies of quaternary wings, 

nourish in thuribles of pomander, worlds of

colorful kaleidoscope’s transition by wing.


Chaplets of tetrad fields, prim barley for the

rind, even by etiquette of the cherry tree, they

comport the methods, of next season’s fruit.


Idas blue manger the quatrain, the four of

prayers, as pollen the bread of Eucharist, in

portions dear, the psalmist months, becoming.




Olympian you are loved, in the lexicon 

of willows, in dialects of water,

reach langue, for the aerial linguistics 

of the meadow lark and the morning dove!


Whistlers wind of soft glossematics, 

will animate for you, your worries of still

life, for all the painterly flowers of Wyeth,

have been given a way for patois to wander!


I’ve heard that violets are coming from the

east, your pheasant of auxiliary language, 

will bring for you, a lavender note, that of

maybe will find permissions, pidgin’s English

of isogloss, purple velvet may quote. 



H

Jeunesse dore’e, joie de vivre, Johnsonese

in jest or joinder, jaeger’s jaunt or jounce of

journey, sight the jubilance of Juliet’s cap.


Jaspe’ the vase of japonica, onyx ring in 

initials of Janus, hands of white flowers, 

jonquil’s joy’s, in jackfield ware, veer John.


Irregular itineraries, in thin insularities of 

Issyk-Kul, or the irrevocable Jungfrau 

hills, isthmus irreconcilable, I edicts ivory.




I flee from Isabella, plinth her bust of basil,

from Margarethe and Shulamith, from where

I am of hollyhocks, from the spread of steeple

feet and talon shoes, nevertheless, the problem

heel.


To be the unknown of mausoleum’s, or black

haired in the art of Carnegie, I furrow the fear

of tint and tone, in flights from obverse wars of

melanin, every illumination of Chi Rho page 

bequeathed. 


I confront prospectus, in gaunt weeds, wherein 

I gardened neither seed, and everything I ingest,

is but febrile pomanders, ideas loquat, in psyche’s

of the supercilious, weightless truth I thrush, for 

sanity.




Alone I see the vacant slipper, the tree of pipes,

or huff of fog, informing it’s gazes of melancholy,

I wander the images of Ochtervelt, the leaves

which can not move, beyond the embedded silks.


I portent the craft of company, blending soirée’s

individuals, separate caricatures of ginkgo leaf, 

bliss in crimps of ecstasy, I see them female, by 

symbol of the fan, implicit virgins commissariat.


I carry the mysteries of avenues, or feel at breadth 

the psalter, who am I in the summer of people, cold

in the possessions of Jerusalem, but in the cusp of

butterflies, I certain a cruse of buttermilk, to come.




To merit port hair, redbud,

I crest the back of Venetian hen,

amorous arms around her neck,

other lovers at my merciful foot.

roses of the cochineal.


Swain by lights of Naples yellow,

the stem of beeswax massicot,

passions in old ivory of early sun,

risers for the Ferris of apricot,

May we bring to June.




The grace of three fates, blue craver, warrior 

gloves and egret feathers, the thrice of sisters,

sugar bowl, decanter, and flagon. At harbor

of the pinnacle, an indeterminate, modish hat.

What of oils speak, on sequential spreads of

unprimed paper, the brush of the onion, as the

pulp peels? That a finished war continues at

parties of the serenade, Mary’s still life of yet

impressions, faith in the simple maze of the 

sugar canes, Elizabeth in lures of simile, by

red blood of memory, or Arabella in upper

windows, her suites of beautiful desire, rest

light her gazes of crystal, what to proffer, he

of modest cap.




An amiable square of sapphire, or Joos reticence 

of a teardrop pearl, in sachets hair of rusting wheat.

Lotuses in full stylus, ribbing of the octopuses buds, 

in the vases of leaf pairs, bodice damasks of burnt 

umber, necklines Ducal Palace, dynastic filigree,

emeralds poise as scholars pearing.


It was the banding sleeves of copious muscovado, the

tones of the dead leaf and the brown tail moth, silver 

foil by sheens of contrasting thread, billowing tufts of

satin white beneath the banding, raising undulations 

fabric over riverine arms, graceful lace inlets, her wrist  

flowers, wine or grape, lacing lyre seas.




Tie this missive heel or archway, to her paradise 

step, and to it’s mask of shadows, for I patient 

her perianths sweet.


Epitaphs before my heart of unprepared leaves, 

grieve through the seasons, complaining of age,

in unprintable poetry.


As glistening speak, her obelisk in concavities 

of accessions whisper, I presume her width of 

laughter, narrow the tear.




If I look to you, as greeting doe’s in armistice 

hands, as if too much the night passed, and I 

had dreamed of yellow lions. Might fault tender 

raise, a softer crest of watermark, upon such 

prejudice arguments, for the avens?


Console so forth, the finite colloquies of this

firstborn day, loss forlorn the beginning nipple 

of forsaken candlelight, that I may anchor, from 

forces whither frail, earnest black harridans in

coppicing most eager fright.


If spathe of light resusitive, finds cicatrix of 

heliotropes, or lock moraine in orders serpentine,

in curling nests of orrisroot, or if match besets 

the toast, might I hear stealth, your matins by 

per-diem? 




What nautical, the fright iron and the pennyweight

are falling, pica or column inch, elides of the tear?

Lengthen the dram, these fingers, asperities of

Catholic prayers, long hundred, the brusque of

infinitum, brevity of scared are, prejudices blunt

apocope.


Assayers of the copper threads, blot end-wise, the

durations of tarnished turquoise seas, minima in

brief, the wounds of conspectus. Mete allot my 

liter sight, gill to breathe, the reach at arms length,

long waisted hope at shoulder’s breach, rooms ebb 

contracting.




I’ve awakened to a curvaceous atmosphere,

radius’s of ovoids and pear shapes,

a conventional annulus of neatened flex,

sinuous forms of amulet.


Soft crescentic’s of fiqure eights, centrists in

discus pressures of cummerbund, S in 

the bias of violins, every lozenge in quincunx 

of women, cambers in irregular waves,

gestalts of beautiful balance.




If I believe the leaf golden, or press against 

my hand, any jasper seed, or fail the baring

maidens, any saplings of olivine, it is but the

marquetry, the russet’s sight.


I have faith coln green, in white scarfing

winters, if chartreuse is credulous for those

naive, who abrogate the nightjars of the sun,

I reason the bishopric violets, aurora.


If I sorrow preservations, or in blindness 

feel for damson plums, or mourning stria the

the tears of polka dots, it is my offering, let 

me be the bruise of murrey, merciless. 




Sunbonnet, brise-soleil,

art glass of the butterflies,

candlestick of the moths,

occulting veils of visor feeling,

helmets of obnubilation.


Gossamerines of diaphane,

sashes I pull of shade trees,

monitor of the gaslight,

jalousie arc of peacocks,

Sheringham daylight,

luminaries of antisun.
