Omens

I listen to the litany of the winds. All the worlds are rolling beyond me. Omens of a flood. I open my arms to embrace walking waves. Possess and face me, jeweled seas. All the worlds are rolling beyond me. God, behold your storms bounty. Below the cloak of clouds pouring sunlight, I roam your world throne like a lost monarch. Desire I am nailed to your ancient wings, witness your shimmering eternities. The blades of want— I dreamed away the years, I dreamed away the darkness. Iron in the skies, imitation knives falling in rain spires. Ravish me, twilight: I am baptized by your first fire. The reckoning! Being and annihilation. I drink the milk of midsummer. In your eyes, I perish from desire. The rebels, the revels—I was willing to be your devil. Lead me to ecstasy. I was chasing blessedness from desire. The stars stream from black glades like drakes baptized by fire. There's a devil in the wild winds. You command me in your arms, and I am gone. Gone into oblivion. There's a devil in the divine winds. I vanished into desire. Witness your blessed eternities.

I am going to let grief destroy me.
