50 Words For Poe: Temporal
"50 Words for Poe: Temporal"
"Labyrinthine mind
within chalked
bones of cranium
lies the vestibule
and shrine of
broken sacraments -
absent Advent,
Pentecost and
an "epiphany"
solely lacking
The All Divine.
There She lays like
Iseult waiting for
Dragon's tongue
Black night eternal
immersed vanilla amoeba
floating ectoplasm
transmuting in time
there, keys will be found
like broken pearls
opalescent holding court in
spectral brine and
barbed-wired encircle
her cobalt Amygdala marble heart
the stolen sacrament
kept in crumbled pieces
adorned in rust of blood
and essence of crushed
soul breathing slowly
dark opium bradycardia
perfume of dead violets
within vaults of
The Caged
A Stone Temple
silent
no breeze
suspiria de profundis
where doves hearts
are kept bleeding
on Ravens tongues
to speak of riddles,
lovers and dark
palindromes
Dammit, I’m Mad!
Was it a Rat I Saw?
Do Geese See God?
mulier est hominis confusio
Melita, domi adsum"
...She finished writing up her report,
and thought, “best put on my gloves”
time to get to work.

"Temporal Paradox"
“Ah, reader! I would the gods had made thee rhythmical, that thou mightest comprehend the thousandth part of my labours in the evasion of cacophony.” Thomas de Quincey
“All is finite in the present; and even that finite is infinite in it's velocity of flight towards death. But in God there is nothing finite...Upon a night of earthquake he builds a thousand years of pleasant habitations for man. Upon the sorrow of an infant he raises often times from human intellects glorious vintages that could not else have been.” Thomas de Quincey, Suspira de Profundis
“I stood checked for a moment - awe, not fear, fell upon me - and whist I stood, a solemn wind began to blow, the most mournful that ever ear heard. Mournful! That is saying nothing. It was a wind that had swept the fields of mortality for a hundred centuries.” Thomas de Quincey, Suspira de Profundis
