Carl Scharwath


Chimera

The sun cambered
through the haze
upon a lonely sentinel.
Speechless propaganda,
begotten sexless rapture,
as the days
begin and end
with the phantasm
of uninvited ghosts.

Infelicity

Desirous impressions
Opaque in silence
Penniless and hungry

Down the streets
The lost man 
Chases his dream

A backward glance
Broken Promises
Talking to himself.

Fallacious Weather

Schizophrenic rain danced
         violently across
the metal roof
 
Two lovers awakened in the
         tempest fury,
souls revived
 
A relationship ignited by
         a silver cloud
twisted upside down
 
Their last night
        phosphorescent sorrows
howling whisperers of denial
 
crowning kisses
       bodies encased
in a pharmaceutical straightjacket

Carl Scharwath's profile

Empty Surrender

I surrendered a memory
of an altered
me.
Long ago,
an essence filled
my writing.
Now I have gone
adrift.
The echo of words
never born.
Invisible reflections,
white paper
can they form again?
In blurred shapes
of her and
forgotten youth.

An American City
          ~Dedicated to Baltimore

The city slowly
withers and dies.
While the living
flow angry
in open streets.
To a new renaissance.
floating down the river
like a colorful leaf
on splattered sunshine.
 

Telesthesia

Phantom eyes seduced
in the condensation
of a dream-scape
fluorescent and luminous.
 
Adrift in the duskiness
of lustful fears and
sleepwalking schizophrenia
forgetting to go home.
 
Sinning inspirations
glow shadowed and awake
in arid graves
beyond the gods.
