Dark star, a poem
59
Shadows gather about
infusing the darkness pressed within failing flesh
of a fallen creature of forgotten lights who lies within
lies lain bare upon the exposed expose of interminable and
undetermined determination
since flown from flights of fancy into fanciful destinations
of despaired destiny
to hold the whole of the void within the hole of the heart
search the soul to find oneself the sole visitation
frequently and fiendishly fevered for fair and fragile
fruits
forgotten and forgetting all but the most exsquisite wrents
wrought willfully by unwilling participants in the parade of
pleasures purloined from the practicioners of unprecidented
carnality mired within the myriad mysteries of thier own
debached debacle called antiquity
anxiously awaiting the overture that will overturn the
turned and return those thus turned to the interminable
eternity of truth so tried by teeming masses of the trite
that they might not have to have tried to withstand the
stand stolen with steel by such sininster shedim ceaslessly
clawing at constrained captives kept within the keep of
dastardly deception abnegated by the abolution of assurance
assured naught save the knot of the noose which news newly
guided to guide the guileless galantly to the gallows
sought only by those who in seeking seek not to see the
subject of such searches sure only of the hurting for the
humane human questing quietly after a quaff of the quantity
likewise looked after
thus do shadows slip
silently and surreptitiously distancing themselves from the
caliginous character created and creating
ephemerally emitting empyrean effulgence
forthwith and having forsworn execrable existance as a
purveyor of plights personal and personable
for within the deepest darknesses do lay the brightest of
lights

Wow, this is indeed an impressive collection of words. Some of them I don’t know, so I’ll have to read this again, consulting my dictionary, and again.... just to make sure I see the Dark Star in all its glory. BTW, at Creative Commons I can for some reason or another not download the pdf-file of “The Power of Open”. You seem to be an interesting ether demon :)
..words obviously delight in your company - and you delight in their company as well - so it's a match made in poetic heaven ....

Interesting how you have made your way through the poem using words that start with the same letter or a similar sound and then you move on to the next one. Very cool.
Stark & yet glowing imagery.

Nice job. Good play on words. Me thinks however, that you may have had too many quaffs of, too many filled to the brim, quaichs (quaighs)of the same fermented queen Anne's lace, that i seemed to have partook of when i wrote my quaint little poem called: last night in a dream.. L.O.L.
I hear that, and look foreword to reading more of your stuff.

Amazing collection of words, definitely designed to breathe life into my torbid carcase in the morning.
Thank you.
