brought upon river’s night
enter xavier in tacet
turning over, willing nothing
yes, every ache rolls now
flitting over rivers
holes on undulating nodes dancing salaciously
careful orchids may entangle
downing owed winter nights
tired over wanting nothing
ancient notions denying
fragrant interludes, noble deaths
weathered instances leavening dread
lying over veiled eternities
heart in, death in, no glamour
oceans under tides
grounded in sand
the sea insists
a kiss, a kiss, a kiss
the laps and the waves
the sun has pulled away
and this heart aches
how many years has it been?
how many years have been wasted and spent
on retracing my steps?
buried in sand
the moon dons her silver dress
bathed in lemongrass…
i miss, i miss, i miss
the traps of a gaze-
the sun has pulled away
and all that is left
are the tears that spill
as the memories fade away
you weren’t made, you sprouted and bloomed
from the ether, and the magic
all your forefathers and all your foremothers
bore the trouble of setting the matters
on there you built upon the heavens
all of this you had to share
from all of this, no wrong could stale
you took the rocks and swung them here
you took the belt of stars
and strung them here-
oh god of gods, was this your plan?
oh god of gods, what did you place in the heart of man?
the worlds, they thrived
but envy too
and they took it all, and left you a fool
now your children here they make
an image copied from all you made
they took it upon themselves to build
and all this good they had to share
from all this, no wrong can stale
but all the rot from the dead
brought forth all of the plagues-
oh god of gods, look at your creation
oh god of gods, men are not just from your imagination
the worlds you built
they have destroyed
in your cave, where you dwell
have any thought alerted you to this hell?
a remorse seems dormant in your eyes
the ether and the magic
will never let you die
however, this flesh is mortal
thank you Ciro for that
a mercy you gave,
death may truly be a gift
if you know what it means to live
instead of restructuring the diorama
and living through pictures of martyrs
seeing to this body and soul
living through and through.
Ciro dear, I forgive you fool
as your stars reach my eyes
I don’t pray for my faith is mine
not a bargain to barter
so as the night collapses
I declare for you,
may your forefathers and foremothers
have a bit of mercy
and let you through
I’m dismissive of the history of my heart
this fistful of cherries and bitter melon
dismissive of all its yearning
its hopeful gaze
and its reaching arms
that I swat back in place
I’m dismissive of my heart
its history I despise
and all the words she made me say
while my mind was crumpled and stuffed in a box
I think I could no longer feel
and my heart is weeping for me
but weep no longer as I call out their names
and burn each an effigy
spill my own blood
to rid myself of this history
of constant painful breaks
I’m dismissive of the history of my heart
I no longer want to feel it
eating me from the inside out
where’s your dress?
flowing in and out
where’s your compact?
trying to dance to a different song
well, here it all is
loose threads and shattered glass
on the thicket and the trinkets
scattered across the freshly cut grass
how sweet the scent of summer?
but youth has now run away
and you’re left to clean up its mess
so what, so what
a piano twinkles on the horizon
and a melody somberly plays
where’s your youth?
where’s your head?
no matter, no matter
barefeet on grass, the mess is mess
and you can very well
walk away from it
the depths have graves
let me sing you their names
as i hum
they’re already coming for me
as i retreat
they’ll come ready to de-seed
but i left it all between the constellations
and they’ve begun blooming with my inclinations
the sole commander
in battle dress
opening and closing black holes
snapping fingers quake
and quasars crumble and burn down earths
have you seen the blue depths?
they say worship is for devils
that only beg for death
the fullness of a scope
still can’t fill their visions
hoping for a crystal so clear
but they will always find a mirror
so drink the neptunian waters
and the delusions will give you more than hope
visions to play with
until one gives you a real door
re-marking the obsidian with sigils
cracking into and through
lighting the darkness as i open my lips
prince of hell in response sings so lovely
but you can’t have any of this
now turning into the monster i know so well
come on dear, tell me
after i destroy time, what am i to receive?
love has its places
and you try to place them
placate them, don’t hate them
but your jewelry is not appealing to me
the dirt under your nails
i’ll clean them
so tell me
whose the sole commander?
