Defiance

The brilliance! I died! 
World soul you made the horizons grow 
it was desire quaking in the far away places
we were fasting days 
ice bound in fire nights
it was desire living like light 
Like a Zephyr I outrun 
An Anthology of mornings  
It was fragmented apocalypse 
Exult Carthage is destroyed 
the eyeless sister of Patience died
I wanted life
Ruin it was rising! 
Crisis and catastrophe 
The mountains were echoing  
merciless rebeginnings 
Yes freedom was anguish 
Genesis was a chamber of treasures 
by the virgin glimmer of the meadows
I died 
Inexhaustible 
The Carnage I wanted 
Inexhaustible 
I was falling like Carthage 
It was a torment and feast 
We were mutilated by dreams 
And I witnessed the carnage 
Wild intoxications
it was Viscera in a Vision  
Like the organs of God
My soul cracked like glass devastation 
The death fires danced at night  
I pretended obliteration was art 
The carnage! 
(I possess an inexhaustible desire to be loved)
Inexhaustible the carnage I witnessed 
Genesis 
It was a treasury of grief 
Like a god Genesis 
Life was a bestiary
The World was Void 
I collapsed 
That carnage 
Not far from us!
Portions of eternity 
Yes I fell 
Inexhaustibly 
The fragility 
My ego was shattering 
It was a treasury of grief 
The sacral carnage 
Book of burning 
The brutality 
It remembered me 
The osmosis 
Of grief 
The carnage was a book of burning beasts 
Imagine surviving this! 
Madonna of nightmares ravines
All the cavernous eternities were forsaking me  
Vast friezes of light it was desire 
That carnage 
Not far from us! 
It left a scar in my heart
It was desire 
I died 
Inexhaustible 
the carnage 
I witnessed 
Pearl of the earth
I was the worst 
Maybe it was zephyrs drawing the dawns 
Maybe the gods wanted us gone 
It was charades with the fates 
I wasted 
At the Firesides of Eternity  
I was afraid of the lightning of the seas
Seasons of decay
I wanted it staying that way
Ruin and rot 
I sought the garden of god 
Despair it was a planet I was chained to 
A fervent eternity 
it was ruined earth to me!
Sinking in the crucibles of luminous eternity
It was desire living like the shifting of the light 
It was the paradox of paradise that you had to die twice 
Like surviving an annihilating spring 
Katabasis—ruin was rising 
I conjured the defiance of the gods 
That carnage was behind us
