"mad vision" it should be noted that this work was done in a "first thought/last thought" mode, it is written via pure instinct and without revision or pause to think it through. enjoy... the bursting nebular birth shatters the even sky ~ the music of the spheres toning in minor key, a disarray of heavenly bodies ~ rogue stars menacing the dusk. distant luminaries undulate like disembodied forms of a hidden prism ~ transitory images of stenciled ghost ships adrift on the electrum ocean. the ashen mist of self-apocalyptic cities enshroud the decadence ~ where roses burst in dark spheres set apart for the doomsday machinery of love. the muse has fallen! her diaphanous wings perforated by streaming vapours of meteor contemplation. the echoing sound splinters the stars ~ abysmal in the creativity of the endless chasm ~ pushing outward perpetually, spiralling out of control… what elegance is there that permeates in deaf’ning resound of heart-ache? into the abyss ~ the vision is mere shadow puppetry on the screen of neurosis. so i wore this mask of death ~ musing haunted forthcoming silence ~ evasive contemplation, wandering thoughts of stillness formulating mad words for mad verse. ~John Waldron~ |

Much interesting imaging here!: I am particularly fond of the beginning: “The bursting nebular birth shatters the even sky ~ the music of the spheres toning in minor key, a disarray of heavenly bodies ~ rogue stars menacing the dusk.” [it reminds me of: “…wounded galaxies tapping at your window panes the empty mirrors of tomorrow’s absurdity reflect the tortured, straining lobes of crystal hallucination that taunt the naked mind” ] AND also fine: “the ashen mist of self-apocalyptic cities”; “…echoing sound splinters the stars … in the creativity of the endless chasm” Lots of potential! Applause!! p.s.: fine choice of 'P.I.P.-land' UserName (ID) as well! |
