Ineffable realms Shot serene into a stream of words Or a stream of blood And carried away With euphoric decay
Beyond the gates of horn and ivory Flowing reflections of fields of green
Ghostly fumes whisper soft Mysteries That every open eye betrays But those God-mad souls Drunk on spirits of divine Absorption And beatific visions Their heaven frozen Like those tired songs of angels Locked in endless praise
In the garden of death Those images bloom With unbalanced rapture And from unbearable sorrow Harvested As sorrow feeds on itself with Allostatic overload Doomed to worship death For it’s greatness devours Everything
Absorb instead eternal rest Like the glow against Late autumn sky Burning in it’s golden glory Ascending cinders To Elysium Unknown
