"50 Words for Poe: Sibylline"
Hush your mind In ancient Persia Her sands drift through your divination hands Through Her dark mirrors,dethroned now Xerxes,you stand before Her naked Clairsentient seeps Her ancient wisdom Her opium gift to you Elusive, Her heart bares witness from the Never Slept vast fathomless dimensions through Her kohl-blackened windows opens wide the Forever Time She lies eternally awake hidden within your slumbering Third Eye Lines in a circle Pentagram dominion drawn, there within lies your dead heart’s Lamb Salt around you, your Red Holy See parts at Her command Blood on Vellum, heart’s thorny nib scry now, see, cast out your Vashti Queen in your pages She remains immortal n’er evanescence an apportation, She is automatic writ to be forever seen Her ghost alone to you who drifts on oceans remote and haunted, Her silence speaks to you in your echo chamber doorless, where wait you trapped within another life lobotomised and formless electric bit, tight, tongue speechless between your teeth Within your White Room where you, dull and dead, walk through dreams to find sleep She bleeds o’er you in multi-colour Her visions Renders wet with tears your Golden crypt the shrine of loss you keep. In veils, see Her rip diaphanous through Her velvet breast a future ripe with lips that taste of Syllabubs whypt and sacrificial notions stripped A little death comes with Romance Esther cool, malleable and vacant was not built to dance this dance Vashti is fire alive she is your shadow magnet whirling mevlevi Xsayarsa dark love, beware beware, bewitched, entranced, you transmutate into solemn strange new lair The light of Morning Star in duality comes swift snake-like unseen possessing no fear Clairaudient Queen whispers fierce incantations, kissing to take lost souls, she builds her army within their dreams She now invokes you to Her throne adorned in Thoth's darkest deepest Green Here She reigns sovereign, your oracular Sibylline (LadyLabyrinth/2019) Esther 1:1
