PSYCHOFECTION



Delusional affection, thou phantom bride,
Thou dost haunt the marrow of my thought,
Where shadows don the garments of devotion,
And silence whispers oracles of love.

Lo! resistance
a clash, a gnashing, flint on flint,
the truth doth stand, an iron sentinel,
while I, poor soul, wrestle gods of smoke.

Stable resistance, hashy-clash friction!
O cosmos, dost thou mock my burning vein?
For every “nay” I hear, I twist to “yea,”
and every closed gate blossoms into a shrine.

Distortional crush, internal psychofection,
Behold! A fever of the skull,
where the heart, drunk on its own invention,
builds citadels of passion in the sand.

Thus am I both prophet and fool:
in love with a ghost of my own conjuring,
a worshipper at the altar of mirage,
crying “thou lov’st me!”
when the stars themselves stand mute.
