Theorem Of Important Fears

Theorem Of Important Fears

Born out of laughter buried in my heart, 
I float on waters of awakening, 
aware of random words twittered by birds 
with throat burrs whispered in the eglantine, 
diminished weight of oaths unbalanced near 
beyond the fractured limits of our words. 

Still tense with apprehension of false time, 
against corollary measured by thoughts, 
unproved by theorem of important fears, 
I squirm from cramped space of my humming skull 
through game of elemental urgency, 
yet eager to resolve divided tricks. 

We know nothing of disillusionment 
expressed by ticking of the faceless clock, 
trapped in the haunted house of nowhere else, 
yet drunk on sugared periwinkle wine 
too pungent to wake the lion from dream, 
tagged as the sailor lost without his ship. 

Hiding in the private place of your heart, 
I mingle sorrow with tenacious facts 
too original to be elegant 
whenever we feel worthless in sunlight 
because fate strips away our mask of pride 
to show the world raw hunger of false faith. 

Inconsequence through tenuous respect 
always tells the truth no one dares deny, 
yet stricken words stick in the surprised brain 
however oversold with ecstasy 
too intimate for children to escape, 
because we almost hate our noble strengths. 

Because not all of paradise is lost, 
crystalized by embittered mountain winds, 
we build vast temples for the faceless god 
who bathes in hot springs on the jagged slope 
to protect charming emblem of true love 
that glows from phosphorescent clock of eyes. 

Admittedly my brain of pulsing lust 
is not translucent as Orphean mask 
that hungry refugees of war must wear 
by drinking milk around the crackling fire 
as we hum hymns of hollow victories 
we fight to save our bodies from stale fate. 

Since we know nothing of the day or hour 
we might fall wingless from the crystal tower, 
we give each other books we never read 
about romance for adolescent girls 
who boldly live with liberty in law 
in calm defiance of the patriarch.
