Regency promenade

In well lit space difining oneself,
in brightly candled room,
legs adorned in silken tights,
and well heeled buckled boots,
with crystal chandelier on high,
reflections born of fire,
dancing about portraited halls,
hereditary line inspired,
not a care for those born,
of stricken dingy dark,
who fight in wars Napoleon spewed,
so we can keep what is ours,
handkerchief about our face,
when visiting the slum,
so they can know about themselves,
that charity has come.

In darkness consumed though not bent,
fresh from conflict and warship brig,
with suspicious eyes and ill intent,
we view the powdered wigs,
in patterned calico our women dress,
shoddy worn by very poor,
in a single candle room is blessed,
on a wooden cornered store,
a smirk upon a beauty spot,
upon ill-favoured face,
the makeup fine we often jest,
features a rat will chase,
knowing they depend on us,
for maintaining of their wares,
only in the land we trust,
and show them not a care.

The parting of the drapes

In silhouette within his room,
he sits thoughtful in his place,
spying gaslit streets of lighted fuels,
from the parting of the drapes,
his latest case he cannot resolve,
though appraised of all the facts,
in turmoil is the acutest mind,
his confidence relapsed,
striking a match against the rough,
his sharpened face outlined,
a furrowed brough in sulphur fumes,
a nose in the aquiline,
to***co rubbed is set alight,
the pipe of curving calabash,
mirrors the bending of his mind,
in the depths of the abstract,
opposing a will of dark intent,
few can plot the cryptic thoughts,
with brilliance his rejoinder ties,
to which he exclaims,
"Of course !"

Quicksilver moon

In its mercurial arc the moon showers the nighttime,
shafts pierce the canopy and are splitting the dark,
with beaming arrows in a pointed display,
that drips from the leaves and silvers the bark.

A pewter fox plays in the lustre of moonlight,
and makes its way through the columns of bright silverware,
reflecting the luna beams from the gunmetal background,
are eyes of argentate glints from a curious stare.

A silvered infusion grips the lay of the land,
a mantel of passerby clouds show the bloom of a veil,
that is a highlighted reflection of an other day sun,
that abandon the halo and are shedding the pale.

In silent pass over she lengthens the shadows,
the telling of time in an orbital glow,
spilling the year the event evanescent,
as the annual cannot define her perennial flow.

Cookiecutter shark

Light breeches the seas and shafts into the deep,
seen from the depths of below in aqueous glints,
the radiance from overhead seeing silhouettes glide,
devourers outlined that the sun makes distinct,
though one has been graced as though in horizon,
when the break of the day chases the dark,
shedding a glow in light of disguising,
itself from a view that tells shadows apart.

The Cookiecutter is a shark with a mission,
for quantities seized in sizable bites,
out of its glare with surgical precision,
comes a saw toothed attack in a lightning strike,
huge girths of the sea fall prey to its assault,
mighty Orcas are dealt scars from the fish,
the gouging incision the size of a cookie,
from the razor like fangs of a small glowing fish.

Pillars of creation

An interstellar medium suspended in the midst of space,
its density beyond our grasp the matter of a haze,
milky fluorescence of consequence the spectra playing host,
to the birth of suns the gas and dust a colossal vacuum ghost,
luminous matterial the rise of life gained planets in its depths,
from explosive giants volatile in supernova death,
the sages birthed enduring myths born of heavenly citation,
long before science quipped the pillars of creation,
in cycled time we fall and rise the ash and dust apply,
to bursting suns and columns spun we are of nebulae.

Beyond the pale

An apparition scantly defined an etheric counterpart,
now a spectral eerie glow a diffusion after the rot,
previously bright intellect now indistinct and torn apart,
translucent dim and gaseous obscure and long forgot.

Once a man who showed contempt to life beyond the grave,
a chilling draft in cold decline his coffin a chrysalis,
his mind with no immortal ties the limpid his only way,
birthed in gossamer and crystalline a purgatorial whisp.

In chambers the phantom lost when the eternal was discussed,
his elevated highest pride considered it beyond the pale,
deliberates incapable he supposed the fanciful was lust,
concocted lucid fantasy's of an imaginary veil.

To his sentiments of dull refine came an eventual reckoning,
in a hollow state of servitude an admission of the enthralled,
can observe phantasms quick release and Nirvana beckoning,
when the enslaved have realised they have just walked through a wall.

Circadian rythms

In unfolding reclaim the petals awaken,
stroked by the rays of the nightimes eclipse,
in yawning defiance the blooming has arisen,
as patterns unwind in contours the night missed.

In radiant flux a flush cleanses the hillside,
freeing the solid the solid colour of the sleeping green,
in defiance of a wish for the remaining of closure,
flowers burst into life from a nightfalling dream.

In a weary transit the mural of the hillside,
fades in the light being consumed by the dusk,
the extended splay tired from arresting the eye,
as beauty prolonged can merge into lust.

Petals in closure seek to rest in a moment,
the pale orb over the rise is the only bloom,
the want of retire bring a pleasant fulfillment,
as the circadian rhythm journeys into the brume.

Polysemous moon

A familiar luminosity that embodies her face,
showing the light side of a temperament defined,
by the conciliare nature of a womans perogative,
to emblazen your life,or left in shadowed decline.

The tender she demands of emotional fruition,
beyond the formal of a date thats agreed,
and will always remenber being eclipsed by a want,
she will then play it cool as an early spring breeze.

Never second guess in her given time,
as the amassing of words is only her type,
in demanding rejoinder a man knows at once,
to extend the draft of short winded replies.

In lunar sync a period of transition,
can be left in the obscure of the indistinct,
to avoid the dark side and a luna collision,
be in subject to her lines and know what she thinks.

In deep

In the depths of the ocean in a cocoon of black ink,
swims a monsterous form a horror in the obscure,
in the breadth of the seas the deep indestinct,
has bred many a nightmare though this one has a lure.

A pale green bait in animated suspension,
atop many spears from a cavernous mouth,
sees an anglerfish waits with the darkest intention,
and a fatal attraction that slays any doubts.

The lambent lime bekons come closer,
to the unweary gaze of the finny prey,
in the shadows defined the seducing exposure,
sees the end of the line to the aquatic that stray.

Out of Egypt

Wearing the spheres of my disc eyes,
I tangle with the matter of my form,
and wave the last of long goodbyes,
then a light surprise is born,
if I can take into account,
my bodily weight in gold,
then it would be in short supply,
as I wait on my soul,
so I create a bond unto myself,
to record my ill gotten gains,
on the river Styx I'm high and dry,
and can't bank on the remains,
in customs I am animate,
donned in a hieroglyph,
when a crane becomes your given state,
all you can do is lift,
when made of light the sun is Set,
in the lightning of a storm,
birthed in chaos but Ra I won't forget,
on his chariot I was born,
so I'll return back to the place,
where I met my demise,
in content before my grace,
with my body I'll be tide,
to make of me what they will,
on the way of my return,
the eye of the needle I have thread,
in the present,current turned.
