slam poetry by Alice in the moonlight
Folder:
beauty and the muse
her tiny hand written verses
in the darkness of the longest night
midnight heavens and uttered voices
an audience of night creatures and moonbeams
she desired different choices
someplace near to tranquility
her slam lexes shatter
syllables stripped and nearly splattered
into songs
that let translucent moon shadows dance
her elusive
velvet asylum
vicious in its labor
a display or an obsession
she’d recall
punctuating
pastel preparations
that shape movements
where her withdrawn eye suffers
solitary illustrations
from her supple lips
she
swallows
practiced phrases
the night she came
seeking her secret
expending desire
tempted trembling
claiming culmination
searching
within rhythm
without apology
those words still lie beyond her grasp
white silhouettes disappear
sweet syntax is not here
no nothing that fate can seal
left behind with the insincere
what an essence can reveal
a footnote to her private things
mourning in temporary cessation
with her verse tied to whisperings
moving to a new destination
she awaits reverence
desperate for what is denied
but still bound to believing
pleasing intimate did not call
slam poetry by
Alice in the moonlight
her surreptitious senses did recall
the recitals poignant completion
as tears poured from her vapor eyes
awaiting ethereal visitation
