Headless Idol Of God

Oblique intellect of the rose-gold moon 
reveals the vast distance between our hearts 
which writhe with revelations of true love 
to frame this beautiful weird world of ours 
with shocking sensation of blooming flowers 
rooted in tales of our lost memories. 

When colors leer in sunlight of my room, 
transformed by my fatal imaginings 
to furtive creatures lurking in dry books, 
I hide conceptual sprites in wood word box 
till they sprout gossamer butterfly wings 
and fly through spiral of eyes from my mouth. 

Effectual consequence of fertile thought 
completes excessive meaning long untouched 
by proper rhetorician strolling home 
in neatly trimmed rose-garden maze of ghosts 
to unwind logical clock stuck in trunk 
of my most graceful willow by the lake. 

Desiring trivial power to control 
dreams that motivate hunger of our hope, 
we build huge marble monuments to truth 
so bold performers, terror-struck by love, 
may better calculate which way to go 
through strict analysis of empty words. 

Collecting words from caverns of your minds, 
fragile as eggs from which serpents of faith 
slither forth through church-cluttered avenues, 
I breathe oxygen from bright mountain caves 
when clouds of words congeal in holy books 
open on tables of unexplained fear. 

Passion that frames emptiness of the home 
with shapeless shadow of dire honesty 
adjusts backward direction time expands 
for angels still forgotten on the moon 
to play chess game of arrogant respect 
though we consider this haven our right. 

Immense success of meaningless play 
contains stark signs of intelligible life 
trapped in symbols everyone wants to buy 
to hang as paintings on cathedral walls 
based on hallucination I design 
which imitates headless idol of God. 

No more original than falling snow, 
that purports to final contrariness 
of false perfection dazzling in its truth, 
my heart begins with vivid elements 
of natural light to weave reluctant code 
which programs how I invent unique fate.
