The Burning Hours

I was jealous of the dissolving worlds

Lost in incarnadine seas 
what a test of obedience 
the way you stand before me 
With midnight rains in your eyes 
Desire this risen apocalypse I survived
I watched the days collapse to ash 
Madonna Reverend of the Darkening Skies
Madonna of the miracles leaving me again
voyaging gods like voids in my throat 
you taught me to breathe again at the harbor of souls 
With the burning hours came memories of another world
the days collapsed to ash 
Genesis rain from the midnight skies 
this shackling of a feral being
wanting with the abandon of storms across wastelands
you taught me to breathe again 
When you speak you execute me 
This was the apocalypse I survived 
Your eyes blooming like nightfires on the mountainsides  
I wandered in that wide wilderness with the leftover light
Vanitas I collapsed 
You were the wind beneath my wings
Then you slipped from my fingertips 
Noble soul I was sure you were born in a golden world 
Phoenix rising from the ashes of genesis
Your golden soul surely beloved you were born in a golden world 
Desire this light Genesis  
Into the carcass Earth I was deserted
This darkness like arrows to my heart
Awakening the incarnadine seas
Desire how I wanted ravenously 
God made me a fragile oblivion 
The eternal return to dust
Desire this fragile Genesis 
Awakening incarnadine seas
God made me a fragility
Collapsing in your kingdoms of light 
By Saturn’s return we were blossoming dust 
This is drowning genesis 
The wasteland in flames
This is the mirror of fire this is how you die 
Desire this wild magic I survived
Come my angel and face the ravine 
I saw so many universes shining like silken fire in my fingertips
Desire this senseless oblivion coursing in my veins 
I walked into the midnight rivers
Come my angel and face the black rains 
Burning in the crucible of silent wilderness
This is drowning genesis 
This is the mirror of light
This is how you survive the incarnadine seas 
You were anguished like starlight in black graves
Desire’s senseless oblivion
Forsake your morning awakening
This is the universe of fire you live in  
Like the faithless void I was chained to whirlwinds
Desire burned an escape in me
Desire burned a wilderness in me
Seasons of starvation
I was the wasteland craving flames
Come and witness my fragility
