DESCRIPTION:
Born -- baptized in salt and sap
Snared -- a hallowed skein of stars
Awakened -- the halcyon dream dissolves
Forgotten -- the void in silence calls

Comatose -- a divine state
Ink and spear procreate
Frosted serif -- hide crimes past
Opal illusion -- in re-flec-tions of the ash

Decrepit Slave to blind overlord
Rapture traced in arcane rime.

Natural order catechized
Prostrate in static longing

By thy grace our pallor regained
"Nigh or now" -- the truth's the same
Sedating all with yellow grin
Crowned in knowledge -- but forever robed in sin

I, on the precipice
Take a step in stagnate haze
Loosen my constricting grip
And cracked seeds fall from my fingers


Feed -- pick bones clean
Silent ascension with body serene
Twisted locks and meal-ground teeth
Eternal unrest in a withered nest

Wisdom wanes with waxing pride
He falls from sense to conceit

Decrepit Slave to blind overlord
Rapture traced in arcane rime.
