Underneath The Stars

Underneath the Stars

Beneath the gloom
The glowing moon
A bitter smile upon a frown
Turned around

The shadows
Of an emptiness
Shine like pale reflections
In sullen moments
Without atonement
Lunar nexus to the call

Stone vessel
Omnipotent heir
No rhyme
No reason
Tranquil sea
of despair

I would offer my treasure
My pearly crown of thorns
A gift upon my altar
A glimpse into
the very depths
of the tireless abyss

Where is my uniform
The one adorn
Before the war

My fingers are numb
With desperation
And
fatigue

Rain river drops Loli pops
A sucker is born a lamb
Sacrifice
Before the narcissistic All
You know my name
You know my name

Is there glory in the hilltops

Are watching eyes spread eagle

Do cities and towns burn
or lament
around voices of ancient past

My Mesopotamian goddess
With the striking eyes
Three faces of Eve
Morning
Noon
Night

Can you say we danced
Into oceans of salt
Our body’s slid in shadows
Carnal silhouettes
Painted murals one the ground
Bathed in mud
Blood

Juniper

I offer you my humility
I gave you my all
I ask for nothing
For that
Is
What I
am
