Leila A. Fortier


~Psychosomatic~


I
Sensed the gray
Clouds and then tasted the rain~
The cumulus effect of your vacuous being~
Through the rapid succession of psychosomatic
Pleas~ I became deliriously asymmetrical~ Steeped
  Into a soul labyrinth of ritual~ I traversed your meridian
For some follicle of truth~ You were a master ventriloquist
Torn from a mystery~ Grazing upon your angular paradox
I fed from the pantheon of smoking indie eyes~ Estranged
By the slippage of your layered disguise~ The result
Of this synthesis only absolute nothingness
…And the point of no return…

 
~The Haunting~


I
Knew not the
Weight nor consequence
Of this haunting~ No fathoming the
Euphoric agony of this evisceration~ This
Severing of self- Inhaled into the vapor of your
Apparition~ Inducted into your holy rite of confusion~
I am but the perfected nothing of your conjurings~ The
Summoned uninvited~ The kneeling unseen of all your
Abandon imaginings~ Cast into your world of quiet
Delirium as the neglected byproduct of some
Unfathomable grace~ This sacred
Void that has become my
Prison of liberation~
Where I am but
A silent
Echo
Of
~
…Your every exhale…


~Profound Unexplained~


You
Come like a
Magnetic whisper~
The vanishing ink of an
Invisible tattoo~ A space unmarked
With punctuation~ Missives in Morse code
Stirring me into inexpressible delirium~ No
Sleeping to be had within this waking dream
Your Kafkaesque vicissitudes tinged with
Mystery~ The limpid luster of the
Profound unexplained

  1. highly sensual work written a language which pinpoints positions on the body which oscillate between pleasure and pain, the one you love is never far, absences delicious which pain the painter's words.... my preference for the last which aches, pulls, lusters...
