O human being,lives, so little
for tragedies so great,
ravelled in the shrouds of nyx
& fatal twins thanatos & hypnosis,
where ever lost but yet acclaim
if not second to none, the next best.
to what mocking echo & pitiful fall
your triumphant aspirations,
but soft ye now, nyx whispers
in hypnosis’s ear that morpheus appear
on the waters of the night.
where the architect of tomorrow
usurps no more what potion
morpheus drops upon an eyelid.
or what monster might rear or nightmare
demeter in the womb of night, nyx
her embrace suckled on each breast,
born of the serpent, twins of the beast
or how she may come or what chariot,
yet the clarion or what hour !
The painful, deluding vapourous illusions in which Life seems to be woven warp and woof... dissolve utterly away, when the radiance of the Immortal Light doth burn away all base inner dross! ~*~ Much Love, Shivani ~*~
