Oration
06:11
|
|

I'm the vehicle of transformation
Fluctuating in a stale uterus
These strings are the blades of nightmare
Slammed doors of the dedalus
Burning into the rays
With formulas of decay
I call forth the beasts of the mind
Celebrate a glorious decline
I swear I shall abuse
Death's spell is now mine to use
Paralyzed in ecstasy
Blood's virtue bestowed on me
Like a diamond amidst the flames
My oration will remain
Writhe...
Ride on subconscious' wings
To the lustrous tongue of the deceased
Join me on the dying sun
Where the heron begins his run.

The flames
upon this unborn cell
Untamed
Cleave an inklike shell
The blasts
Deform its turbulent skin
Hadean
Primordial time begins
Obsidian mist
Magma rises like a fist
Gods of eruption
Prodigious parturition
Endless meteors strike
In blinding, radioactive light
Oceans of fire and smoke
Earth in a zircon cloak
Submerged...
by Hadean tides
Primitive momentum
of the unformed
No life into the cosmic rain
Fractures in a liquid stage

Daughters of the Lotus
09:02
|
|

Shores of an infant dream
A lull in time's stellar seams
Green streams of voluptuous delight
Faraway laughters and splashes bind
With ivory hands they feel
The anaesthetic coils of the unreal
They spark the intoxicated void
And the tissue of thought is destroyed
Speak the language of the fog
Carve my existence's epilogue
The membrane of my soul is torn apart
Cascading death is a new start
Their lips, gentle and pale
Vocalize a unison so frail
Slow, radiant shades of opioid clouds
Sing to me, plunge inside my mouth
Drawn to a fountain of whispers
Like a snake amongst embers
Gestures command the void
I'm one with the opal soil
And high upon their blossom thrones
Naked with watery bones
The daughters salute
Fading in ether roots.

The Liquescent Hours
04:51
|
|
||
I wait and wait
As the storms decorate
I'm mindful without motions
In lightless devotion
Frost
In a chapel
Of snakes
Oh wicked course
Oh wicked seeds
Upon towers of flesh
Where days cease to be
Ointment for the bereft
Time's core rots away like forsaken fruits
Liquescent hours
Our lineage is devoured
I wait for the drought
When eternity ruptures its sprouts

Triptych
07:33
|
|
||
Torn from the pearly abyss,
Naught.
Claim the child who faints with a kiss,
Braincells producing a crystallized hiss
Statues are lashed,
Marble turns to ash
Claim the child who faints with a kiss
Bowed at the bottom of the pearly abyss,
Aulos heard in a silk mist
Marsyas, satyr, flayed alive
The child arrives with a cloudless smile
The child arrives with a cloudless smile
To play the gears of light
And watch my wondering shell
Become a Triptych
Triptych
Triptych
Like a Lightning that shreds a glacier
He'll return to invert the lunar years,
Intoxicated god of paleness
Dancing around orchards possessed,
He'll dig a number with his feet
And blast through darkness so deep
The number be 3.
Triptych
Triptych
The number be - become the
Triptych
The night arrived carrying horrendous mutations
And the secret taste of dissolution,
Three by three the howling sons arise
Summoned by the cloudless child
The sickle falls on the headless trees
As the crawling crowd recites
The number 3
The number 3
The number 3
Parallel moons in the hour of gloom,
Asteroids in their devotional womb,
Counting the creatures that leave their lair,
Mourning the serenade in my stare
Like vessels sailing into cosmic mouths
We're swallowed together,
Free-falling to the south.

Black Trees Waving
14:52
|
|
||
By the stream
Drowned in moonbeams
You molder before me
Your cortex limbs
Befoul me
Engraved in darkness and cloaks obscene
The flood comes down, I cease to be
Cease to be
Scattered dots on the drapes of infinity
Heaven's brass in your iris, smouldering
Black trees waving - now congregate
Undeciphered - Black devours gray
Bone wings burning - fireflies screaming
Up from the ground - stillborn weeping
You look at me
Touch my severed lips
Love chasm strong
In tired sighs forlorn
Black trees waving
Black trees waving
