Holy Circle

God exhaled his life breath forming
Whirlwinds, particles of dust
swirling through the garden thus
Quick as that wind passed dust settles
There is my life, what it’s worth
dust to dust, I am but earth, I sing to thee
Behold this hourglass is man
standing still, yet shifting sand
and look my friends… it moves to its own end
Life does not cease in the body
it grows, it will not be contained
expanding to a higher plane
Forms, they lie in silence rotting
like cloaks of flesh that once we wore
and yours was one I so adored
I fancied thee
I’ll not forget your hair like serpents strewn
your haunted eyes like winter moons
unfolding me... I can no longer sleep.
Here, within my holy circle,
surrounded by a candle cage
I’m summoning the mystic sage
Come to me oh lord of knowing
I beg of thee oh please reveal
what lies beyond the cosmic veil,
I beg of thee
Will my love return to me
and lie beneath my canopy
I pray to thee, oh lift the veil that I might see.
Peering through my magic crystal
a deiform appears to me
with love beyond mortality
Draped in violets and thistles
My teraphim of many eyes
oh take from me my mortal guise
that we might fly, onto the other side of life.

I Plant The Seed

I plant the seed I wait in silent wonder
To sun pay heed, he'll raise you from your slumber
to stand alone, like me, there will be no other
We'll bow our heads, in rain and wind and thunder
But you unlike me,
through wanting you were summoned here
And you unlike me can live without tears
I lock the door, and peek through curtained windows
I wage a war and I shall will not surrender
You have been warned, I chose this alienation
I'm not deformed. I am the deformation
A pantomime god
I cloak myself in tattered robes
I raise up my arms
and peer through your immortal soul
I stalk the mores, in deicidal anger
I seek the form, in it's decrepit nature
To raise him up and pierce his paraffin skin
To deflagrate our nation's Teraphim
In his deified state,
he blinded every soul on earth
Now he closes his eyes
and moves towards his second birth
He plants the seed. He watched in silent wonder
To him pay heed, he'll raise us from our slumber
To stand as one, like him, there will be no other
We bow our heads, all sisters and all brothers
But we unlike him,
through wanting we were summoned here
But we, just like him, can't live without tears

And on the day of my demise
I'd wish not to lie beneath your mortal eyes
for only sorrow can they bring
I'd much prefer nature's great consistencies
such as the sky, the earth, the wind, the trees
for they do not cry, nor mourn, nor do they weep
nor are they surprised.
And when the solemn angel comes
I will be ready to depart
Deliver my spirit to the sun
that I might shine down on all I've left behind
for they too will come to join me in the sky
I leave you this song so that it will remind
when you look at the sky, you'll still feel my eyes
Give back my body to the earth
please give my poems to all humanity
Give my possessions to my enemies
For surely they only serve to tie you down
To anchor your soul to this unholy ground
And now as I pass I see how pointless it was to desire
fuel for the fire.
And on this darkest night of sleep
it would mean more if you would realize
though I'm beyond your mortal reach
deep in your heart my soul is still alive
and it will be there until the day you die
then you'll ascend to join me in the sky
and we will be one... We will be one.
