Eternity contains therein
The essence of what might have been,
The words you would have said to me
And I to you reciprocally,
If sooner our two hearts had met
And never friends but lovers set.
O what a heart wrenched tragedy
Of you and him, not you and me.

Invoke the beast,
And unleash the salivating wretch
Upon unprepared man.
Feed,
Take blood,
Uncoil the serpent,
Set it free,
Weep not for your humanity
It is dead.
Dead!
Deader than a dodo's head,
Deader than the driest bed
Of once quick flows of water,
Fish,
That swam together
Swish and swish.
Silence!
Do not speak but be
Calm and elementary,
Examine and evaluate
The very essence of your state.
Close your eyes
And inward look
and deep,
Inside each dark recess,
Each nook
and peep
Along those contours of the soul
Where evil thoughts and deeds not done
Lie waiting for that loaded gun to fire,
BANG!
Do you see the plumes of bloodlust carry?
This is you.
If so then go,
If nay then stay
And tarry a while to clarify the node.
We breathe the air of demon spawn
Each one of us since we were born
For at conception
There began
A process unlike mortal man
Can ponder,
Wonder,
Split his fragile mind asunder
To believe.

The steady peal of church bells
Rang out without a care,
Borne on a biting east wind
With snowflakes in the air.

The warming chimes were carried
On blizzard driven gales,
That bleached the parish rooftops
And whitewashed once green dales.

A bleak midwinter blanket
Stretched well beyond the eye,
Up to the far horizon
Where pasture meets the sky.

While in the vale, a cluster
Of houses fought the chill
Beneath a bleating bell tower
And chapel on the hill.

Where is my left?
Where is my right?
What is this mist that eclipses the light?
What are my bearings
And where is the sun?
I cannot go back
And I cannot sail on.
I am lost,
I am lost,
Will I ever be free
Of this fingerlike fog
On this mystery sea.
