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
