The Obsidian Theater IV: The Symphony of Sensational Voyuerism

It’s good to see you again.

 

We’ve been expecting you

Please

Sit.

 

Now…

 

Lights!

Orchestra!

Curtains!

 

Bringing forth nighttime lore, the charming chamberlain of Libertine plays

Summoning forth demonic myths, the illustrious weaver of unspoken entities

Dancing on memories, the enchanting fairy of skeletal trees

Sizzling behind magenta curtains, the voluptuous seductress of throbbing blood

Laughing at the potluck, the swollen headmaster of flab

Killing in the alleys, the inscrutable Ripper of Jack

Fornicating in the wild in the dragon’s keep, the ***** of Babylon

 

Swell the strings!

Blast the horns!

The cast is assembled

 

The symphony of sensational voyeurism

Yes, you in delight

Don’t deny your

Sacred rite

That’s right

 

 

Join my dear

 

Don’t be shy

 

Ascend the stairs

 

And come on stage

 

 

Good

 

 

Take my hand and venture now through the broken mirror of Assyria

The dunes of sands

Mounded and layered beneath the crisp blue sky

 

Not a single cloud

Not a single soul

 

Except for us

 

My dear

Feel the sand

 

It’s cool to the touch

 

The wind encircles your lush hair

 

The air feels and smells like the breeze of the sea

 

Where Athenian, white houses line the shores of this desert-sea world

 

Look up into the blue sky

 

Witness the open dome in the center

 

Above our head

 

Past the blues sky dome is the space between spaces.

 

Orange silk stars and red trimmed planets

Violet smeared nebulae and green morphing galaxy clusters

 

Float up to the top of the open space dome in the center of the sky

 

Reach out and extend your hand

 

As you touch, the area between this world and the next, ripples spread out from the imagery of the universe.

 

You touch water in the form of visual, ethereal paradise

 

The ripples of time expand like the vibrations of sound across the sky

 

Painting a new canvas of dripping oils and melting clocks

 

 

Close your eyes.

 

Your body hovers in the air

 

Far from the ground

 

And far from the person everybody knows

 

No matter how much a person perceives to know about another, there will be a part us that no one will ever comprehend.

 

 

Because to completely absorb the entirety of another life

 

memories

 

personality

 

thought process

 

dreams

 

Soul

 

 

Is incomprehensible

 

Inconceivable

 

Futile

 

 

A new world attrition

Through masturbatory perdition

 

A raging, unquenchable and suffering desire that plagues

 

The bold

 

The young

 

The old

 

The naive

 

The smart

 

The swift

 

The innocent

 

The ******

 

The addicts

 

The self-proclaimed purists

 

The self-proclaimed “good people”

 

“innocent people”

 

“trusted people”

 

 

We are all what we live for: a lie

 

A lie that consumes the norm

 

With invisible abnormalities

 

We are the blind

 

The deaf

 

The mute

 

The chained

 

The ignored

 

The punished

 

The poor

 

The dumb

 

The frightened

 

The dead

 

 

The end

 

 

 

Thank you for being here once again. None of this couldn’t be possible without: Clive Barker, Iron Maiden, headphones, batman, duplexes, Salvador Dali, The hour of the Wolf, folding chairs, wool blankets, Silicone ******* chocolate icing, Bruce Campbell, 28 Days Later, true love, true grit, The seventh seal, black widow spiders, Vishnu and anyone else I forgot to mention.

 

 

Please come again.

Yes, yes I know you are probably asking, "How many of these entries are there?" . I couldn't say really, but hey stick around and found out. Let's see what my mind has to offer. Probably not much, but is it quality or quantity that should out weigh each other? Boing! Hey look, Pizza.

No need to fret, protesters outside my window, this is now a declaration of war to your lives (or is it?), just a free verse/form writing exercise. Till we meet again my Peeps, minions and droogs.
