A shadow wrapped in black, / wild upon the page. / Spilling rage... / Spilling rage.
Where, my friends, have you gotten to? Now that I no longer listen to the call of the creature. Were here you ever? Or was I so imbibed I imagined you by my side? As alone I stare, aware of my fear. Fear that I held at bay with a shield of aluminum. I regress to being last chosen for red rover, A long way from the awestruck crowds of Dionytes That fed my thirst and called me Saint of Taverns. As mine eyes crystallize in focus, I see naught but a wasted life That I must taste un-wasted.

Where, my friends, have you gotten to?
To where now? It's not like I'm at a fork. More of a spoon in the road. Collecting stagnant fluid. Rotting. Plotting events hidden behind unseen horizons. Skylines I'll never see. I keep squinted eye poised on pathless route. I fumble with maps drawn in crayon. I keep ear to wind in earnest hope. Hope of hints. Hope of tracks in morass moss. Some indication of somewhere to be. Some plod, or plot, or spot. Carved in my image. Calling me home.

Pathless Horizon...
Is a circle truly infinite? Or does it have two ends that meet? Perhaps hundreds of beginnings and ends. Music, Science and Magic form a perfect triad. Each two defining the third. Like the aurora of Father Jupiter making music with Europa. Dancing like children in a solar wind. Defying divine chaos. Do your best to distance keep lest you brave the eye. Mystics trace the path. Travelers... we fly.

Dancing Jupiter
Lost in a petri dish Alone with a wish and a can A list of excuses and a spinning thirst First and foremost insatiable The parasitic host of the ball Falling in a familiar black swirl Alight and ashamed Defamed and demoralized Dancing in divine depravity An imp to the flame A slave to the golden glow

Thirst of the Petri Imp
Transit garbled messages From beings unprepared Train-wreck waves of sound Divine noise and ***** static The foul breath of humanity Tattered pieces of mentality **** flavored carbonation Steeped through alienation Morbid tears of laughter Plastered on demonic brick Thrown through windows to the soul

Unprepared Human Static...
Toward the mire, my life, To sink and to sleep Weeping bog of lost intentions Bleeding fog of misconception A widdendream of corraded slumber My bed of lumber rotten Forgotten and untended Befriended by ill-humored spectres of pain Oaken cane in shards Buried just out of reach Remind me, worms, of my frailty

Frail, Corraded Mire
Detain my mind, the rind my brain. Again, again, and again. To what do I owe, this mindless dowry. What harvest I've sown, misery... in company. I've the mind of a poet, and the mouth of a sailor, which completely negates my valor.

The Rind of Valor...
**** my bloated corpse into a dance of devilry. Deliver my demons flowers of condolence. Leach my bile, for a while... for a while. Save hand-me-down roses in grave anticipation of greater nothings.

Hand-Me-Down Corpse...
Latent mystic rising through my fog, etching symbols of universal understanding, that none comprehend. What secrets have you hidden, in already hidden places? What knowledge have you escaped with? What knowledge has escaped you? And have you forgotten the hidden truth? The one that hides behind her eyes. Or is it, from it, that you hide still?

Lament of the Hidden Mystic...
Despair is the ware of the weak. To seek the pinnacle, to seek the peak, that is the mantle of a true warrior. To fight... tooth and nail, to bite those who want you to fail, prevail, to set fire to the veil, to expose, to propose the impossible. That is true strength, to go the length. To be... truly be. To see beyond, to fly with barren wing, to sing with barren soul.
