Daybreak

Azure Daybreak was lasting 
Yes, I heard the dark Madonna calling  
Madonna daughter of the darkness
The devastations remembered us 
Heart-attack I panicked 
I wanted to prove I wasn't crazy
(Well, as not crazy as an artist can be) 
And I panicked!
Azure Daybreak was talented
Even I died of morning reveries 
Dunes of azure like Heaven’s Blue 
Late Madonna in the vortex
It was Azure Apocalypse 
I shattered like star legions 
Burning Icarus of fire-wings 
Season of freedom 
We were Burning as phoenixes 
Resurrect me to azure!
Fragile as glass shattering
This is the mirror of fire
This is how you die
Burning alive in azure dunes!
I was awakening Lazarus  
Like drowning Ophelia in obsidian lakes
I died of midnight reveries
Black tempest seas were awakening 
I needed the cosmos
God sought the chaos in me 
Sunless seas of the dead
I couldn't forget heaven’s blue 
I died of reveries 
In the mornings that were midnights 
Resurrect me to azure! 
The azure skysea was awakening my desire like a narcotic 
I was burning like Andromeda
In the crucible of Azure 
The astonishment! 
Chaos cosmos 
I sought and then the blue seas were awakening me
(to drowning in azure sepulchers)
The astonishment!  
How endless the curses 
Venom in the gloaming 
I drowned in poison moons 
The darkness was a narcotic 
And I sought—
Azure dunes 
And I wanted to— 
The sea was awakening me 
I was a daughter of darkness drowning in brutal azure 
Stubborn like oblivion 
I refused to live while I was witnessing 
The lives were leaving me like midnight reveries 
Surely it was a form of outlasting the ash ages
Collapsing as azure daybreak 
Burning Icarus, Desire had fire wings 
Enchantress of the sleeping earth
She sighed in fields of endless azure 
What dies in meadow and lake graves?
Ophelia drowned in midnight reveries 
The azure sea was awakening me
I witnessed  
Leviathan in a lightning of fire
The world’s wildfire resurrection 
Ashes to azure 
The chaos remembered me 
Nazareth flesh, I witnessed 
Book of disquiets 
I loved your wife and her azure eyes
Ophelia buried beneath silted lilies  
I was burning azure all summer long
Then summer became fall 
Ash ages, the ends were ending again 
I wanted to die in midnight reveries 
So I could forget the ends 
That kept resurrecting like Lazarus to greet me
Lagoon mouths reaching the ever-sinking Ophelia
Was Christ in the Crucible of endless azure
Burning with fire-winged Icarus 
Abbess in the convents of cloud
And I witnessed 
An abyss of endless azure
With my burning futures 
I died in midnight reveries 
To forget the futures forever escaping me 
Azure like a narcotic 
I dreamed endlessly 
Of heaven’s azure pumped into my veins 
I died deep into dreamspace  
Even the Abyss was Azure 
Like sinking Ophelia I wasn’t rising
And I witnessed 
The ends as origins 
Fire wreaths, I died of reveries 
Desire burned like devastation in me 
Forever longing, I sought and sought
Desire was creation to me  
Tabernacle of the sea was awakening me 
What died in black lake graves?
And what arrived? 
The moths were golden in sunlight’s burning furnace 
Madonna the mythologist 
Creation wasn't only a god thing 
Not while I was witnessing
