Pawned Valiance

I apologize to the quantum leaps
That eloped in a bereavement
Lambasting from prejudice
And deluging the tolerance
But as I cussed the rain
Frothing white noises
In a fragile night
I left a cut open
To be dabbed
Hoping to recuperate
From the mendaciloquent fall
Of these sharp shrilling crystals

As I bend backwards
The slope of yesterday
Farther than the impasse
Shrouding the bleeding fear
I know I only wished
That the ancient stones break
Into the celestial pardon
Of the incommunicable things
Drowned from all the poison
And drained from all the blood

But I just cannot vie another foot
To your verdure for I am a holocaust
Festering all that I conquered
Good night, and do not go
Gentle into this good bye
And ripple with my pawned valiance

No more undertone
I only wished for your delight
I only wished for the absolution
Spangling in your goblet
Soused in light
Never mind
What was not
Brought unto the light
