If you need someone to hold you together let me be the vase to your beautiful bouquet

You gave names to the stars
As if they danced upon your own tongue
Plucking syllables from between your teeth
The sky is chords of a guitar
Pluck away
Heavens ears miss this sound

the arc of time
steals the flesh
from
our bones
when
time remains
and
breaks
through
the
chant in your eyes

oh love
what
is
your query
that
i
want
to
break bread
with
thee

The sky a shade of eternally

Dark violent violet

Lit up faintly by a mysterious

Source of white light

Tumbling in the ominous clouds


Guarded by two crimson stone

Simians of Truth and Lies

The Gate to the Everlasting

Is not one you could just

Walk through with a riddle or two

But, Yvagn only seeks for a relic

The Coin of Truth


And thus

The Simians opened their eyes

And turned to their side

Facing one another they spoke

The simplest truth:


“It dies and all will live

It lives and all will die

Without it

There are no live and die

With it

Eternity is a lie”

So it was asked


Yvagn gave the answer

In an instant

And a coin descended

Into her palms

As the Simians spoke

One last time:


“There are two sides to a coin

If I give you the truth

You will also carry the lies

So, take this coin of one side

And never ponder what it hides

For upright is the truth

But a void beneath it lies

If you turn to the lies

Never again will you find

The coin of truth

The coin of one side
