50 Words For Poe: Sibylline
"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
