Usurper

Soft bones Towing celestial clay Brutal, the fleshly vehicle Screeching still Along its dark an' ancient highway Where infinite roads, crookedly knot Tying bow, upon heavens bouquet Never meant to be begot Invisible... Until our dying day So, pardon me The land and sea An’ rapture me, their eulogy As fading petal, a warmth to seek... Upon ashen cliffs, of embered peak For, heaven held in feathered seam Formless pillows of life and dream An’ so life, was left no other way But for the stars, to steal our world away For, as to the lesser Cosmic ghosts, born in fleeting form Our future, holds no clear shelter Cerebral an’ shaken, a snow-globe left... Cast, in perpetual storm So, pardon me… This humanity Kiss my bright-eyed lark goodbye! Let me sleep... As the spring tides turn Amongst every constillation, star An' pinned-down butterfly... For, every heaven held in feathered seam Formless pillows of life and dream An’ so life, had left no other way But for the stars, to steal our world away
