Of Genesis And Apocalypse

Cut was the tongue of lucidity

Solitude whispered deceit

Yet not sprung from lying tongues

Was the nausea that grew

As through unease reason unstrung

Horizons withered apace

The borders of my perception

Shrunk to ruins, crimson-tinged

As the empyrean crumbled down

From the universal frame unhinged

Rubescent spirals swelled

From burning ruptures aloft

Its eyes - its stare

I sense death in the breath of this impasse

Descending - revealing - from the flameborn coil

Undeniable - shapeshifting cold images of the past

Its eyes - its stare - a cold glance from the mirror to bear

Madness spat from the lookingglass - I sense death in the breath of this impasse

The empty footprints preceding me throughout my path unveil their secrecy

As in the second of his touch aeons of incarnations stirred much

"And the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind

The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and every island was removed from its place

Then the kings of the earth, the princess, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man

was consumed in the fire that fell from the heavens.

Flaming pyres compelled

The earth to shiver oft

Its eyes - its stare - a fatal glance for the world to bear

The chainreaction's verge of time was reached, rendering the world sublime

The stabiliser was withdrawn on the last breath of dying light

The beginning and ending of the chain are quenched in trite

Leaving the causal nexus with -termination- to coincide
