The Sullen Sulcus

by Mourning Beloveth

/
1.
Opened my veins yesterday and poured in the twilight with its dead promises. Nothing makes sense in an imaginary world that no one can touch. In the strange hours I dream of evenings under moonrise and of fashioned ideals before they could turn and go, had seeped their treachery into my widowed summers. Is this my lover, this face of death? I recoil to the unmoving view. The soft, voiceless emotions escape the exhausted frame to assail tomorrows empty heaven. The dawn, with its dull smell, fills my nostrils and the stench of a burning sun separates the hope from silent lips. There is something painful in the first spring bud of life, it tears at the insides and claws at the doors of tenderness that riseth in black forms from an obsolete graveyard. To cast my eyes on the horrors you have created or to turn and gaze at the clouds? It remains cold and dark and the painless times revel in a distant memory that only seem to trespass when the night is clear. The bitterness tastes sweet and it conjures up images of a narcissistic funeral that injure my dreams narcissistic dreams The wordless world bleeds to the point of despair and the failed attempts to move end in quiet massacres. The lurid calm is a stalking mountain that eludes the perceptive eye but eventually overwhelms to send us cowering.

Lie in endless wait behind some cold shadow for a stream of stars that have long since died. Their burnt cinders fall upon my heaped corpse and seep into my open pores. With the deadened silence of my exiled mind shattered a torturous word crawled to the darkest cavern of my being where a dim glow resonated from the eyes of my dead dream and tore a hole in my lachrymal sleep. 'Twas as if I had motioned the skies to part, and a piece of heaven to tumble past my hungry eyes when a single lonely drop fell to the inviting earth and buried unending furrows to carve me open. An absurd drop of pain within such a vast ocean of disease presented a dismal glimmer of searing bliss that passedin such a blinking moment that it might have slipped unnoticed but for the piercing cries in my heart The dismal moments have now passed to flounder between the sea and disease and lay waste to your bubbling pores. The soft murmurs poured forgiving and with envious assault laid waste my breath In fleeting moments of joy a knock betrayed the vigilant ear and drowned in vastness. You see through the dream, behind the vacant smile of the dead And cut the seams, that held together my breath Lifeless I lie, thoughts tear my mind and you fly Your sharpened breath, echoes these halls for life Slip the warm knife through my searing flesh Nefarious agony slips inside my smile As the swallow lands and bleeds, to suck the light and with it weave, dark veils of strangling gloom to cover this silent room. A fragment of shuddering light appeared and began to bite at the air, so thick with deceit, that all stood still, all was weak to echo through your soft, murmurous heart and pierce your every word. The dreaming veil strangles your shortening breath as oceans of pain wash through your open veins and pour to the inviting earth. To leave not a trace of those moments that filled the empty halls and cold would be to close the shutters on the day(and to dream behind a veil). The word that crawled around inside falls away.

Mourning Beloveth Ireland

It may have seemed a sign of hope that we are surrounded by humanity, but they are merely there to pick our bones, malignant. Growing on the mind like mould, a mere sliver of light drifting between wars and plagues for there is no sound of silence, no famine of the mind ... more
