Thinly Veiled

Tactfully tenebrous tentacles
Knotted crepuscular threads
Twisting light intangible
Rays fall upon dead

The curves of the plot
Familiar, Enthralling
Cathodes calling
Soliciting desirous thoughts

All your versions
Dispersions of the truth
Enrapture and capture

But one knows they can't participate
In a world so disparate
And so lets reality dissappate
To a ribbon of 8mm tape

Strangling the base of the brain
With catchphrases and tropes
Faux pain, simulated rain
Tangles angels of hope
At once Ouroboros
Swallows its tail
Feeding on the past
Baiting the trap of tomorrow

It's a hit
Vitrified eyes of glass
Just a bit of a hit
Static friction can't be bypassed

To reach into the magic box
So I could buy the the newest truth
The waves seeping out stops
Progress toward proof

A mirror displays all this
Dismays yet empowers
A dopppleganger with optic loses
All the problems but success is present
Every hour on the hour
Happiness sucked from the right side of the glass
As though it had left
Through a semi-permeable pass

Conservation of mass ceases
Of gazebeam oil from concentrate
Observation for no reason
And still the oculars gravitate
Thoughtlessness eases
To be enraptured by vervain
Destroying thought innate

A little black box
Trapping eyes into its folds
Apothic cillia blind
From the parasitic grip on the mind

Her mouth speaks but never tells
Of the dross filled limestone wells
Hidden, the pearl of wisdom dwells
Sequestered in the deepest cove
Where ne'er the deepest diver dove
It's pearl of wisdom:
that there is none

Mind amongst glacial emotion

Rifting
Sifting
His thumbs through pages
Apocryphal words of sages

Foretelling
filling
His mind the source
To unlock recessed doors

Rifling
Stifling
Thorough fiery rages
Consuming pyrophage

Inquiry
Conspiracy
His mind moves through lore
For secret repressed in their core

Drifting
Lifting
The memories push back
as fire bursts forth

Rising
Climbing
Fury channelled to a boil
Scorching blood to a vitreous oil

Scrying
Prying
To calculate attacks
Freeze to the forth

Exposing
Imposing
New weakness
New rifts

Chasms
Spasm
Like a mafic orgasm
On a flickerwhisp whim

Frigid
Rigid
Crystallized
his mind shan't bend

Presence
Sentience
All in the mind

Invoke
Wand strokes
are power combined

Sticks
Stones
Don't char bones

Wicker wand
Cast upon
Utterance of words that hurt you

Speak
Purge
Cleansing with fiery verbs

Chant
Incant
A chill of coolant

Ice
Precise
Renders all aloof

Vocal expectorations
Rapid Animation
Feeling and Ire
Intellectual Manipulation
Frosted soul
A heart of fire
