it's as simple as feeding

you your favorite food,

and wiping your mouth

to watch the span of your

eyes.

keeping at you, till you forget

we're dancing.

these abutted foreheads that bring

it down...to the feet of a

broken wave.

as we speed read the universe

to one another...bangs are

brushed back.

so mouths may openly admit

the quelled silence of a kiss.

i can't believe you're real...

so prove that i exist~
Onoma Jul 2019
it's been left to Us, what stayed

under Our eyes--as this world in

count foregone.

where's the charioteer swept away

by Our coitus, He weeps for the

colorless and scentless petals that

we consummate our love upon.

we will never again die alone...Our

Union will remain upon letting go,

no more a wilting form cut by the slash

of the mouth bereft of breath.

we breathe the breathless breath into one

an other my love...keep me, as I keep you.
Onoma Jul 14
A hammering that

keeps time with dirt,

a racket no one can

complain about.

Words like a

nail-studded coffin--

just to make sure.

A finalization determined

to never have been.
Onoma Mar 2
The invisible makes the final appearance

of what's irrevocable.

As Amen is undone by invocation--that

Amen cannot be invoked again.

How nothing moves on from nothing.

From the invisible there are untold

visibilities.

We indeed die to, to be--which's the

emptying out of Kenosis.

Just as the sky empties out, to be--Amen.
*Kenosis is the Greek word for: to empty out.

Wander the open air in half and half, halved...
so each direction may toast to a kept center.
Cloud to ground lightning knows no middle ground--
save for naked necessity...ever kept.

This place is time...
as this body is mind.
The sun's only a
kernel of truth...

The Candle that lit

coughing fits of dust are kicked up

by a giant--wearing great sunken cities

at the swells of his bare feet.

oceanic puddles splashing over every stride.

he reaches down to secure Noah's Arc

between his right thumb & pointer finger, as

if it came out of a ******* Jack box.

all the couplings of his animalia reinforcing

his totemic Tower of Babel.

with ant colonies of men working on molten

scaffolds of gold.

the building blocks of his washover being--

cast him out, of where?

with ineffable dramaturgies.

whose performances were witnessed by him

in such a way--that he became an unseeable

morsel placed in his own mouth.

with the taste of no kind of food, to consume

the height he was no longer aware of.

Prone as skin skimmed

by sleep...

breathy prayers speedily

mouthed, kissably close.

As delicate wisps of hair

tug at their root, swearing

north is truth.

They steer their ghosting plex--

as he sub-screws up his face,

he doesn't want to go.

A hard sell, with a soft shell,

and neither or.
Onoma May 2018
effusion on the
melt, lingua franca
of gold.
tongued to the tip
of its flame, twine
of dusted skin--
lit with professing.
pilgrimage's keel over
into otherness, that
far off land.
tried truer than truth
on the lips.
membranous bouquets,
rippling beside rectangular
rain.
patchwork of an amorphous
doorway, administering
symbolisms that outshine
light.
scale's draw, the weight
of open arms met with
like weight.
a kiss such as the forgetfulness
of faces, as if to say: we've
come to this my love--lateness
surrounds.
*Inspired  by  Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt's: The Kiss.
Onoma Feb 2017
Knee deep in earthen slop--
down of downpour, knees protracting
as bulbous nodes, stiff with implanted ****.
We both, and as for what inhibition--what
wind betook our love, deaf to the sound
of tremulous waterlog?
We who memorize separate passages of
each other's lives--now cite them with
pleasure's other, we both as one...now as once--not without pain.

Prelude:
From Fullness swathing, wake left
in wake of...truly, there is no passing
but an Emptying of Fullness.
...Needless to say, ecstatically
vibrating...you have all the blessings
silence can muster.



Could, I would...imbed this sky
in memory, self-proclaim its radiant
blankness upon it.
That I may be what I see, already
in memory of me, though I've come
to know and love...that any personal
touch, is yet an impersonal one.
Bless that which was drawn in, and
drawn out...lay the heart entire upon it.
We are the Knowers of things that stand,
and tilt by degree momently...we are
the Knowers of the last leg, lest it
overstep that which it's overstepped by.
Fit for us, as every other--momentously,
equally fit...the call to life is what silence
took as her deepest secret.
Nothing could wrest this burden from
her hands, for she loves it as her self...
therefore restores what she holds forever.


~Om Namah Shivaya~

Envision a trembling
hand within, holding
a mirror to inner life...
this goes everywhere
with us.
Yet you are everywhere,
consider the paradox...
inner life proves its
transcience as it passes
through us...we're
unquantifiable.
We're both larger,
and smaller than life.

Sunday, grey as
the after-ash
of joy's taste.
The nervous systems
of January trees
look in shock,
light rooted to a
lightless kingdom.
Their surveyor sits
at the rear of a bus,
vibrated by a monstrous
engine, dumb with dual
force.
Bracing for all kinds of
impact, psychic projections
hung all over this city.
No eyes for what is, these
burnt slits...routinely barred
from the last entrance to
space.
A reified prayer sine qua non.

Chafed sticks forested--
lunar sliver threads tied them up
as to bundle with conviction.
An angel gone rare loaded the
forest upon its back...slumbering
birds shook awake midway to
heaven.
Played through the angel's lattice
of light, their throats the musical
prodigy of their carrier.
Darkness went off the air...static
was the break of a pieced together
sound barrier.
The earliest rustles of echoic being
ran down the place all spaces meet.
Such uplift is not imaginal, but the
all-encompassing care of...things
trying the patience of their mold.
This is the desolate you...daylong
giving birth to the search party of
you...that rare angel shaking free
the residents of desolation midway
to heaven...for a song...just fine
with spending itself--you on you.
Onoma Nov 2019
impossibilities seem

to wait for me at windows

like long lost loves.

as if their forms were dependent

upon first sight of me--to throw

all their weight in my arms.

almost like when the sign of the cross

is made in the air, an explosion occurs

whence those lines cross.

there i am, entrusted to the movement

of mountains--but i'm a bit tired.

just looking for somewhere to lay it down.

the better of October

the ****** trank of autumn duskiness--
creature features letting trees grip closeups,
that stand for a protagonist' last day.
screeching ques overexerted by alpha predation,
as horror's head classically wedges out from a
tree's hip--the day after.
flies walled in the gizzards of crisscrossing birds,
& an homage of costume flowers discarded
on damp mulch.
a cutthroat lack of resolution all along.
the inadvertent image of a grin below a chin--
drawn by creatures with their pointer fingers.
a slack-jaw totem pole augmented by an audience,
a stake driven into trackless woodland.
sleep paralysis on a  19th century canopy bed,
tightly drawn--changing with leaves.

To feel days on

To see an

showing one
gently to the door.
On fragility.

As all of me I give in response, and all of

It is this life given me whose illusory border
