Artistry

The Architect

The architect…

The ambitious architect;

Aiming for immortal blue,

And true to a slew of concepts,

Building dutiful dignified extensions

That yawn for years

Against the sun’s suspicious

Yellow caress;

That pierce to tears

The solemnly splattered clouds

The wind had fancily dressed.

Hues of nature challenge

These dusty dead designs,

Then wisely recant their selfish rants

For walls will fall with time.

Regardless,

These grey giants awaken

From piled on progress;

Stretched with decisions and revisions,

To produce perfect pedestals,

Reticent but raucus rows

Reflecting burnt oranges

And limitless brazen blues.

But these proud towers are viciously viewed

By the architect’s calloused

And colorblind crew.

Suburbia (Part 6 of 6)

Indeed,

Life is fleeting

And death is firmly feared,

But reality…

It rises and grows,

An imperceptible ebb and flow

So worthy of the ellipses’ and etceteras

Vaguely kept in tow

That trail and trace the mysterious

Paths paved from digression

And acceptance of circumstance,

But this family persists to

Puncture this punctuation;

Breaking their necks

To achieve that desired effect,

Despite the hardened hope

That shines in all that’s left.

For with a glance,

The ambition of autumn is apparent;

Nature’s wilted youth

Falls with courage,

Faded and forlorned

But fringed with truth,

And fabricated

By the phantom fingers of fate.

Suburbia (Part 5 of 6)

Brother,

When will wisdom

Widdle your swollen heart

To rattle more comfortably

In its compartment?

Your ribs bow and bulge

With such symmetrical splendor,

Contorted by the discontent

And rapid red lament

Of a beating repeat offender.

Your personal prisoner pleads

To do more than just bleed!

Your angst transcends

That white cage which bows and bends,

Furnishing the walls

Where you whisper dreams in sleep.

Posters plastered with pride and promise

Shed light that windows cannot reveal;

Bright worlds undamaged,

Bandages for wounds never healed.

But underneath this flimsy skin

Is solid boring brick,

Sectioned with white cement,

Hardened and congealed.

Suburbia (Part 4 of 6)

Sister,

You’ve adapted to your adversity;

A flower fallen flightless

To writhe in weeds of woe

That flow to spite life

Wherever it may grow.

Blown is the wind against the stem

That held your young hesitant hopes,

But a stale familiar breath

Scattered your soft seeds

Among shallow and sterile soil.

You’re painted pink for pity

And adorned with jewelry

To conceal the zeal of a consistent hand,

And the voice of your ambition

Blends to silence

Amidst the fluorescent hum of the city;

As silent as your room

When the five-fingered anchor

Drowns those amiable eyes

Deeper in shameful shine.

Those swollen red vessels

Will forever stain my memory,

 Ready to run from face to floor.

No sleep for dreams,

So what are dreams for?
