a nameless land

i am a hysteria of beauty and ugliness,
eloping like a gulf,
a street shop of diamonds, cheap and blemished.
It happens at a time,
I evolve and dupe into my billowing mirage,
eyes lost in a dyslexia of love,
something chuckles inside my flesh of concave mouth
a pink belonging to my entire body,
a paroxysm of a gasp of air running like a haze, in the eye.
I watch this mirror now, the crucifixion of love and melancholy
to my body and scars,
this water lilies emerging inside my teeth,
and i have a swollen left cheek, from the last night’s bite
and a swollen neck, scratching
words of murder,
if i am the saline waters, barefoot
with no signs of lotus.

  6. From start to finish, powerful in all its wonder. My favorite lines:
    “i am a hysteria of beauty and ugliness,

    It happens at a time,
    I evolve and dupe into my billowing mirage,
    eyes lost in a dyslexia of love,”

  7. You always manage to capture the poignancy of life so delicately. “I am a hysteria of beauty and ugliness” gripped me and I had to read the poem twice so it could sink it. Loved it very much my friend!!
