Pyre
Pyre
Balancing on the razors edge; In-
all that gutters-in that cold ballet -
Of "before I bled."
My elixir of mangled string-theory,
Of hybrid sins and veiled shadowquery.
No. I need to stop this.
I need stealth and a golden beacon.
Something to be on my side
and lift a confident smile, out of
dormancy, or Necromancy.
To put my former things on a pyred shelf and revisit normalcy.
Is the killswitch-is the key.
Walk away as the explosion is slow
motion, purge of Purgatory npotions
pour in it's conscience of consciousness
like molasses down a crevace glistening
in the thick richness of purity. "Titans sinking in
the self's prideful enfirm,
conform confirmity of corrosions
apathetic obscurity,
into an epic sinking scene of Phoenix return,
from the Krakened deep."
I will surge from the waters
and take my first clumsy breaths,
a new born out of the darkness, no longer
in that undead paralysis,
but a crowning Stephanos of a Victor
surviving the drowning of the lost in a sea, of the great false sleep.
