Look Up For Your Redemption Draweth



             Cream of fire, liquicksilvered star incendiaire, 
           leaves imprint for the World to see, 
           hangs hook on the sky, suspended
freeze framed to sprawl spidered vein, drip thickly ordinance, molasses covers the mind.
           Bismolling rinse, a curse of the eye, 
     the  Hephaestus tear, cascading bull, work 
         of Virgoan theme in paradox of shift of paradigmatic-meticulous-metaCoolty-times divison sine. 
     
          The Dragon lies in wait to devour. Her child 
    come early, premature, but at a late hour. 
  Humanity
sways in union of hypnotic wave, 
         like blown sands of the sea. 

     Flood hits the shore, blurring lines and s
      contouring laws to grapevine, to wine and dis stain 
   in the presses of drunken powerlines, 
   rolling blackouts and rape of con-fined.

        A body without a head, 
       full on moons of zombie 
      with channel locks and no native neem.

      Silence, breathes. Darkness, weaves.
         Disbelief is blended with terror and 
     chaotivity.
       For unity alone does not a true path portend.
      Hiccups, reshuffle, bend.
           The devil's dream come full circle,
sheep to tend, wolves to defend.
His time is short, now, 
get ready for the "shake up", my friend.

This is really deep Jude.. our poem is a gripping portrayal of a world in upheaval, painted with striking images and rich symbolism. The use of 'Cream of fire' and 'liquicksilvered star incendiaire' immediately sets a tone of intensity and transformation. The description of molasses covering the mind and the 'Bismolling rinse' adds a layer of discomfort and unease, suggesting a profound impact on perception,,

Thank you, Silent One, one takes a chance with words such as bismol, but I am unable to stop using my made up things.
