After the semi colon : utterances

what tools to unravel these utterances?
speech: a ryhme of significations, verbs, stems of verbs, sighing, weave,
wakes, scented scan thaw sound
the turpentine dawn of old juniper fires

beyond reach of harsh desert
where light and aridity reign
beyond dessication
no spines nor armour
but soft dewy flesh
to warm frigid cold 
of night
of the oasis of 
originality

wait in obscurity
for false dawn
of andromeda
of casseiopia

a tingling only beyond the gate
something
in fusoria
is this a sign? 

what means these utterances?
the golden mean!
what position: uttered in: semi-colons:
gargoyles, distant thunderings, abbreviations,

the prone, lying down?

ears, eyes, organs,
a round apple,
the full ripe moon for
Neruda

send those arrows of longing into the heart of darkness,
pierce that heart of consolation, 
there under light of star dust,
cruciferous dawn, 
the rending bleeding heart, 
the desire of ages,
the melting heart, 
molten wax, 

Zeus slit his side to harbour
a female infant
to fold inside and nuture
another motherlover
