Heart, A Spider Web
Laijon Liu 20150104
My heart slowly spits out a spiral web
that
symmetric framework of time and solitude
only
to catch moonlight and cold dewdrops
those thin fragile tangled silky strands
tremble
at birds chirp and lover's hum
suddenly
smashed by a pair of flowery wings
II
threads
of device, gaps to flee
on
this center stage of labyrinth
fate
directs tragedy and uncertainty
hearts
on eight legs, climb and crawl
clinging
in wind, hair-raising
torrid
kisses, and night drowns in wine
III
between
earth and heaven, a cast wide net
that
cuts off living, and unknown universe
mind
paces behind those indestructible wires
one
must endure hunger, endure rains
one
must endure silence and patiently wait
a
predator is Nature's prey
IV
heart-shaped
triangles, oval galaxies
infinite
designs spin off in lotus blooms
a
single crystal strand ties love and foes
backtrack
traces, unfasten knots
wipe
off dawn project for a sable sail
unquenchable
desire, restless thoughts
V
every
vibration, and slight stress on strings
connect
your feeling to my senses
your
perseverance, your desperation
force
in distance, and Earth gravity
together
construct matters of harmony
our
existence is defined in relation
VI
constellations,
branches and veins
through
a cracked telescope lens
that
worlds hold many centers, are fallen
a
seraph flaps his fractured wings
a
nymph tries on her red-cobra nightgown
constant
outward reach, toward that inward goal
VII
everything
is made broken, everything
tattered, shattered, deformed, every piece
and we try to keep them as whole
and we try to keep them as whole
spinning
kaleidoscope, rotating carousel
every
fabric of mirage glistens
in
a perfect geometric realm
VIII
I
saw myself hanging in the void
dangling
so
now I sway, and sway
I
felt sea waves of stars falling on me
piling
on me
I laughed, and laughed wildly
