Chemical Liaison

Innocent child, fresh out of her cocoon 
a new lady, like a new butterfly 
Caught!
Enclosed fingers hard as Crystal
in a mesh of thorn and vine
Tightened wings fluttering
venomous honeysuckle
Stardust consumed in its palm

Overwhelming net of shadows
like a poison, like a drug!
Consumed sunshine to a tink
twilight of despair
Crushing grip, maddening trip
a faint ticking;
like a dyeing heart

But its hold was no more 
than a hard shell,
breakable, she could tell
She crushed out to liberation
there lies freedom for declaration
New nets and awaiting webs
but never again into an enclosed grip

excerpt from "Eloisa to Abelard"

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;"
Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams.
For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day."


- Alexander Pope

spoken words

"I'm always falling down the same hill, bamboo puncturing the skin and nothing comes bleeding out of me. Just like a waterfall 2 feet below the surface and I can still make out your wavy face, and if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place."
