Upon the pillow stained with each shed tear
That spells the aching discord and sings
My tormented lament.
The same stale memories atrophied in anticipation's pallor
Exhaled in an Autumn of frozen breaths

Like crystal vines entwined at the feet of heathens
We were three steps away from a midnight dream
Perched on the verdant fall of an eyelid's half-open idea
Kissing alive the animations of waxed poetic flesh

Awake the vacant promise esoteric
Drifting unbound through the ethereal seam
Lit on a moon-drenched sea to part my lips
And wash away the guilt neverlasting
Fashioning a fasting friendship with a listless wish
To draw the fading irony from a butterfly kiss

Kinetic canvas convergence of a cross and a dream
It seemed simple, this planar plan
Pronounced upon the prophet's palm

Our star-crossed fates aligned
Two paces past the racing skylines and
Whirlwind clouds of a heartbeat pacing and
Facing faint fears played
From an echo's collapse

        -This fallen figure, my faded silhouette-
-This broken trigger, my final regret-

*Si vis pacem, para bellum*

it's interesting that you choose to post after such a lengthy absence; that you 'crop up' to comment my poem a month or so ago...I wonder where you went, quite foten...like a few others here. Your absence leaves a hole. I have to say, the title was a touch pompous :P..hehe, but the poem itself seemed to convey an interesting mixture of the post-Romantic; surrealist, even Italian Futurist - it reminded me of a poem whose name and artist escapes me, about flying through the night and the 'sights' the narrator sees...I enjoyed as ever the imaginative syntax, the unique word choises "atrophied" etc...sometimes, towards the end it felt a little technically obvious: " Facing faint fears played From an echo's collapse -This fallen figure, my faded silhouette- -This broken trigger, my final regret-"...feels a bit like aliterative "overkill" on the f-sounds; that minor criticism aside it was a good poem, sparkled with creative and almost yearning language and I enjoyed it. I won't hold my breath for a renewed interest from you, but hopefully if you post again I'll get another opportunity to see where your poetry has picked up...nice one Josh

a swirling vortex of amazing imagery with a fantastical feel and flow, even with its solemn kisses peppering the lines...
