haikus & freeform, pt 10

good night
city skyscape is my benevolent sepulcher
illumination through argon and xenon
all trains know life love loss lust
enraptured ecstasy envelops esoteric explorers
while
lost lovers lament languished partners
and
idealistic individuals envision aesthetics of perfection

your favorite bar won’t let me leave, is this a dream?
my mind’s eye strolling through somnambulant summers
stepping out of sundresses long after sunset
sweet sweat caresses your necklace
salacious sounds surround seduced surfaces
restraint is now relinquished, time is infinite
the present moment’s rarity is incomprehensible
a warmed gaze that is my own surveys the curious morning dirge

bad night
amorphous form, appear to me
eyeing assiduously
serpentine charlatan as your stature becomes defined
return my serenity
consequences from a commitment to ignorance
is bliss? until the veil is removed. truth-
is the reveal I seek, however not expecting
the old saying about a magician and their tricks
baited breath biding my time
balancing all-seeing gaze with peace of mind

clouded clarity through my kaleidoscopic lens
high contrast filter digesting details
malignant metadata moves through mental space
high saturation post-production
comforts the hyperstimulated mind
the ambiguous fidelity of frequencies matches
the ambiguous fidelity of character
