Mind Meanderings

I have walked alone through inky waters

I’ve been tested in life’s smoky fire

I have witnessed the apocalypse beginning

And the high priests of love castrate a liar

I have seen angels fall and devils repent

Witnessed the lover’s plague sweep a land

I was there when 666 was stamped

Upon the upright, self-righteous hand

I knew saints who once were sinners

And I knew sinners I bowed down to

I stood silent vigil on my wailing wall

Graceless, my heart knew not what is true

Yet all that I knew well before thy time

When I first heard flutter of angel’s wings

When my inborn emotions played and danced

As if on the end of a puppeteer’s frail strings

Then lips climaxed to the Gods own wrath

As passion the planet justly came to rule

For I to drink sweet elixir in your beauty steeped

While the heaven’s answer errored cruel…
