with nothing to reflect upon
self-existent light pulsated
renewing itself within itself
ineffable peace prevailed
in a realm without attributes
complete yet strangely inert
one became two polarising
tango dancing with delight
lost in trance, amnesia set in
flawed perception and stupor
became cause of suffering
until souls befriended silence
descent followed by ascent
thus became the need of Self
by contracting and expanding
by concealing and revealing
itself to itself in a lucid dream
which the ego believes is real
Do you care for me
I ask. As I shall do for
You?
Will you lead me by the
Heart? As for I shall
Never break the valve
Which has brandished the
Templar construment of living
Past the certain and polarising
The rising of God's Mom into
A statue of liberty and mutal
Understandings his father
Had given reason only to smile
Upon the risen, and grieve for
The laughter slurred skies
Spoke openingly about the
Beginning being that and the
End being this.
If it has become any concerns
Of yours to delve into the lapsed
Forms of times broken promisings
Then you would have come across
Patience which letters eighteenth
Centuries ago that what we have
Done together should never be
Despaired from the martyrs along
Masked conception of rivers
Twist and bends with the calling
Of what you have turned the other
Cheek looming over fervently.
