Adam Levon Brown Basks In The Dusk Of The Lyres While Jewels Cry From The Abyss In A Galactic Shine


Hallelujah Sunshine

Highways separate
into colliding stars,
wishing themselves
into being
from galactic shine

Singing Hallelujah,
I have found life!

I have found the pearls
of blood-drenched wisdom.

I have found the separate keys
on the piano which try to stay hidden

I have bled in rivulets of sunshine
to find my way home.

I have found the questions,
but never the answers.

Let them sizzle beneath
your skin,
and sing for awakening
in the grimmest of weather,

Bolted down to the doors
of your trust, and hidden
behind your gates
of razor blade truths

Let them in,
Let them in.


Hurtles go unheard

in the Sonnets of lyre
dusk

Preening themselves from fire
and hiding the dust
behind eyes of lust

Pretentious and declared
mute, the shadows quake
at the thought of eclipsing
your shame

Buried in the heels
of your feet, waiting
to give birth to Hermes,

Your smile erupts
and singes the emptiness
you call your home.



Darkness Reality

Lips of escaping
meadow signal
the depths of Abyss-worn
crowns

Cracked and smeared
with gun powder and silenced
by night fall

Jewels cry your name
as you fall deeper
into the ebony glance
of darkness reality

And luck calls
for you inside your mind,
as you attempt to claw
your psyche
from the depths of abyss
