Tears Wipe Themselves

Tears wipe themselves
They refuse to shed their bliss  the memes of my soul uplifted
disembodied granules hope  despair  joy and sorrow
unspoken unspent ocean drowning in the tea cup of continuity
Time tensed to tumbling
Moment
waterfalls
Inertia of deep freeze.

And a moment of truth
Embedded
Cold hard crystal chip
Packed wonderlore
Wobbly core
Flash frozen instances of instinctive self  preservation.

Trying hard not to be dissolved
In my imminent tears
Threatening
This is not for  drowning.

I will watch over this witches brew my lashes released in dreamy sleeplessness.

Quell
Quiet quotes flow...soft and ominous quartrains nursing drowsiness
Clipped couplets conjoining decisions
Setting up links and patterns
Welcome
to the establishment.

Recliner chair
Easy afternoon flow
Breezy madrigals sonnets
Thick lashes and swirls of contentment
But I watch  the bubbles pop out one by one
And I am left with only me again.

And I am smiling.
Willy nilly words come in sleep.
I am not even writing.
But words are waiting to write down meticulously
drumbeats of my playful soul.
Percussive rhythms sent by ether
Great percussionist extraordinaire.
Quill them down
Now.
Nothing can kill you.
But a word
You survive
Is another world you can live on.

Cream floats icing life in soft sweet
Nothings.
frothy dissolution
Sip sweet milkshake life.
Sweet salad bowl
Existence.
Watery graves.
But send down feeler straws deep inside.
Find out
bed beneath the ocean.
Wipe away that uncouth mustache of   untidiness.

The penultimate cost of tears
Is brilliant clarity.
