Dreamless I Desired

I breathe I break I recreate the deeps
The universe in shards— 
Call me what I am: the carnage 
Madonna the sacrificed 
I wandered above a sea of flames  
Madonna the resurrectionist 
That divine reckoning 
Desire like a bruise in my mind 
At the dreaming edges of the universe  
Carthage at the age of creation 
I dreamed apocalypse after apocalypse 
Crushed before the spheres music 
There was blood in the hollows of my throat
Captivity in your annihilating gaze
I named you enslaved of the Earth
By the Grave of God, the carnage of angels breathing catastrophe 
Dreamless I desired speechless a script of fire
Blood in the hollows of my throat
I was enslaved by the dooms I chose
Language of the ceremonials, you spoke like a fractured angel 
and a resurrection spring rose 
There was fragile starlight in the defiled skies
Dreamless yet I desired
I was a repository of memories 
Desire in the wilderness universe 
It was radiant devastation 
Somewhere else on the earth, life was happening
Temple of the unknowable I engraved the sacred with pains
Suppressed screams in the hollows of my throat 
I was enslaved by the dooms I chose
Bait of Eve I brought the dreaming dark ages
With the knowledge of eternity 
And the eternities incarnated me 
Dreamless I surrendered to the wild sunshine
I made ascent on accident 
A waxing gibbous moon returned the morning after storms 
Drowning in the black reefs of midnight cities
Bait of Eve I brought the dark ages 
And then the dark ages witnessed me
Scarred horizons, I was an offspring of the dooms I chose 
Angels in the ashes of Paradise 
Madonna the revenant 
Dreamless I desired
Speechless as tongues of fire 
Like a remnant of escaping Dawn 
Into those wounded worlds I was gone 
Dreamless I survived the wild sunshine
A catastrophe of light again betraying Paradise 
Maybe I was a Maelstrom 
Genesis I died for this apocalypse 
A holy terror born after storms 
Ouroboros I was enslaved by the dooms I chose 
Even that slumbering beast was unable to wake me 
Fire feasting on lightless altars 
Incarnate eternities distant and unknown as vast seas 
Dreamless I desired speechless as tongues of fire 
Dreamless days of being I made inevitabilities
Desire burned like devastation in me
Madonna of the prophets
By the Great One I was begotten 
Madonna of the late apocalypses 
There were halos in the hollows of my throat 
I was enslaved by the dooms I chose 
Desire the wrath of the archangels, whirlwind in a grail 
The voltage of lightning storms coursing in my veins
The Great Madonna made a wish for apocalypse 
We were dreaming voids rising to apotheosis 
Desire like firebirds in my dark irises 
Dreamless I witnessed the lightless nights
Genesis from the mark of the beast
I watched the plague of eves leaving me 
Madonna of the ceremonials
As the recurring Bite of Ouroboros
I was enslaved by the dooms I chose 
Dreamless I desired
And my dreams were as fragile as starlight in defiled skies
How could I be saved? I was dreaming in daylight graves
Desire burned like resurrection in me 
Before heavenly dawn and your dark gazes
I was a unicorn in captivity missing silver grasses 
There were daggers in the arms of angels
Requiem for the raw wounds
Maybe I was a Maelstrom 
Hope that foundling in a bloom of clouds
Dreamless desire beneath the stars and their script of fire
Scattering the violence of daylight
I dreamed of drowning in shadows upon the resuscitated seas
To witness the evening earth greeting me
Genesis, I died for this apocalypse 
Sleepwalking while wide awake 
Who dreams me from another realm? 
Monsters born into the laboratories of light
In your dark irises I saw a spring rise 
Revelations at the Altar 
I waited in the rising sunshine for you to find me 
Cathedrals catching fire 
Across the midnight city’s black reefs 
Monsters giving birth in the silver streets 
You lost in the labyrinth night archipelago 
Awaken the dead—tonight is not the day you go
