Flagrant Echoes of Desperation

Sepia eyes descry
Obsolete sentiments
Of sessile
Motives blistering upon
The air of such acquisitions -
All the while splintered hues
Of sullen, somatic sensations,
Flirt with zephyrs of
Emotion;
Breathing on the precipice
Of epithets to pass, with
Each momentary indiscretion
Fugitives of achromatic lives
Cower; needles dancing in their ears.

Ghosts of palpable relativity
Teem with hysteria,
Ripple in physical resonance
Through ephemeral
Planes of reason,
Yet acrid is the taper
Of fear left to languish
In isolation.
