Exhumed In Body And Soul Poem by Steven Drake

Luminous lamentations
In heights of fallen skies.
Whisk away the depression
Mired down in people's disguise.
In depth of the nights gone awry.
Filtered through the paintings of
My mind. Deep as your soul can
Be verified. Secrets of forbearance.
Nightmares well supplied.
Supplanted. Tried for love‘s truisms.

Nothing reborn. Revitalized.
Excuses run ramped.
Single solitary cries. Distance.
Buriers reflecting spies.
Enabled what's precious, defined.
Hell on earth's suspicions. In
Error of appreciation gone
Out to everyone that's ever applied.
Tradition's folly.
Mistake my identity's crises.

Speech in compliance. Creed in
Muddy waters. Expansive.
Rivers fall off the edge of walls.
Exiguities. Exhumed in faith
Of body and soul.

Read what they say. Heresy.
Around corners. Fallacy.
Ruination's rumors. Spilled.
Refracted evidence. Blamed.
In depth of poverty. Real
To nothing considered wittingly.
Writing hearth of magic slain.
Bedevilment's terror to my name.
Slippery danger.
In affect poetically drained.

Earth, wind and fire. Blood, sweet
And tears. Wilderness. Shunned.
Forever clear. Clarity taken
Out of fear. Spellbinding.
Exactitudes. Revelry.
I wish in a prayer. Hands down. Knees.
Witnesses aren't here. Bygone
Days a thousand fold. Held in toll
Bridges falling, slopes.
Slippery edges. I try to cope.

Speech in compliance. Creed in
Muddy waters. Expansive.
Rivers fall off the edge of walls.
Exiguities. Exhumed in faith
Of body and soul.

Nothing ventured. For what gains?
Sad in the process. Shamed.
Rivalries. Enemies.
Nemeses. Pray tell for me. Out
Of dark shadows. Nether
Land sirens off the coast. East and west.
Crashing on rocks. Verified
Tests. Life long journey. Despondent
Rights of passageway.
Behest of lines in poetry's realm.

New beginnings. Stars of night.
Clouds of thunder's process.
Lightening striking. Confessed.
Reasons rhyming words at best. Take
Marital promises
In light of epiphanies. Sworn by
Problematic chances left.
Dream sequences. Sky blue Heaven
In the 'Book Of Life.'
Chanted for a song and a dance.

Speech in compliance. Creed in
Muddy waters. Expansive.
Rivers fall off the edge of walls.
Exiguities. Exhumed in faith
Of body and soul.
