I.

This, a final offering,
before the clipping of wings.
A love like blood,
oh anathema.
A grey declined to black,
oh herem.

It means salvation
knelt with darkness.


II.

So it be!
So it be!
So it be!

Ring the bell,
close the book,
blow out the candle.

Douse the sacred sun
and find belief caught in fishermen's nets.


III.

In silence of angels,
climbing broken ladders,
no ascent, no longer.

Salvation has
knelt with darkness.

The world does not end with fury
And fire, blood ridden lakes with floating
Corpses and flies picking at our remains
As shells fall like leaves in autumn

It ends with beauty as a sin
And silence preferred over truth.
It ends with hollow men who hide
Behind dull eyes, sapped of all light

When pricked these men don't bleed
But spill forth mounds of straw

Up in the air
It is smoke and dust
Up above
More clouds in place
Up to the moon
Take me away
Let's leave anyway
Into the sky
If it was up to me
I'd never come back.

Second gilded age

malefactors of great wealth

the oligarchy

still GOD USED ORDINARY
PEOPLE just like you and me
Remember God defeated the third ***** using ordinary people with
Extraordinary will

The scent I miss
Not for reasons of bliss
But simply this

The scent of old paper
To read a new caper
Or of the candlestick maker

So many worlds to explore
You even had a second floor
I miss you old bookstore
Online shopping stinks when you can’t smell the paper

When i see mirror
I feel that
No one understand me
Except my image on the mirror.

The short line is filled with a great message of my heart,i never think to be good one in front of others. but i'm like that who wants understands everyone but me not by anyone..one and only my image understands me.
Thanks for reading.

Dark Clouds Everywhere.
Some Here and Some There.
Thunder Sounds Everywhere.
Blinding Lights Here and There.

Water and Water Everywhere.
Some here and Some There.
Accumulated Everywhere.
Pure there and Impure There.
Water is pure when it falls. Depending where it falls makes it pure or impure.  Similarly we have Knowledge which is acquired.  Depends on whose acquiring it making it work for good or bad.

And...
On that day...
In that place...

Began the dramatic chain of events...

Which we later learnt to call "Life"...!
Sharing some random thoughts about the day we open our eyes to the light! Thank you for reading! ❤
