Blood Ties


BLOOD TIES
O Brother mine,
aeons, we bathe in fiery pits;
epochs, you quench your thirst,
from my wells of wisdom…
Broken by the mallet of Creation,
away you went.
Then came you.
Likewise, your seed…
Centuries you’ve suck me dry.
Your nests glitter with my blood,
atop my remains, your rivers flow.
My seed dammed to the Throne…
Bronze shackles, you gave!
As cousin Arabia fuels your rage,
Rage, rage, rage…
As for in time you’ll kneel.
And forgive I shall,
for your sins are mine.
O Brother mine.
Timeless clocks,
bring us together.
As in fiery pits, we bathe.
Our Seeds will bear fruit,
Love and Peace…
As to dust we wither.

Reflections

Mirrors of Truth Fear Us Not;
                          Reflections in you we seek.
                          BARE not the fruits of truth,
                    As prudentia of our vanity unmasked.
                                   Oracle of fear;
                             To thee we attend at birth;
                            To thee we see not at death;
                        O! sibylline Natalis come forth.
                                  Lead us within,
                           Where idle your light awaits;
                          Though with indignation we bow,
                                 Unisons we rise.
                                    Eternal we Are, 
                                    REFLECTIONS!

Samsara

Clawed clouds descend upon us!
Like Adam so Eve.
Naked we wait…
What gods we are?

As for creation, we End.
In his image, we conceive.
Forests of masonry stand tall,
Chariots of death we ride,

What gods we are?
From the wells of Hell, we drink.
As the elixir of life sings…
Like muezzins leading prayers of the prophet.

True fountain of youth Indeed,
Youth marked by the crucifix?
Youth marked by the crescent Moon and Star?
In the garden of lost dreams, they lay.

Like martyrs of yesterday!
INRI…
DOB-DOD, MAN-BB!
True products of ignorance.

TIC! TOC! TIC! TOC!
Chronographs of death,
Counting as dreams are conceived!
What gods we are?
As dreams oxidize in our ignorance.

Children of Anarchy


Silent sounds of despair,
as shimmering light of day.
Cupid’s love shackles broken by night.
Who are we above god’s shuttered dream?
Black sea waters wash our sins,
To whom have we sinned?
Tetragrammaton’s discord symphony?
Sìhaiwéijia was never enough.
Dream is destiny and beyond,
as pure at heart creates.
Hexagonal words we fear not,
Destruction and creation at once.
