In-between worlds
After falling
Through chains, blood, and bones,
Memories of horror; lost and hated;
Stained concrete, blades, the chattering of…
Many, in the shadows. They
Desire your pain and fear
(Desire your pain and fear).
Chains reaching, touching, squeezing, dragging:
Pain and fear
Pain and fear.
Terror.
In-between worlds
Descending
Through brittle blanket blackness
Discovery of depth; secrets and doors;
Unreal mirror, flashes, the scurrying of…
Many, in the shadows. They
Fear my desire
(Fear my desire).
Hand reaching, touching, squeezing, embracing:
No more pain
No more fear.
.
Sun! I command.
In-between worlds
Now ruling
Through fields, flowers, and spirits,
Seeing wonders; mountains of pearl snow and forests of fleshy green;
lakes of depthless blue and sky of infinite glory;
A shrine to Beauty beneath the midday sun! (Sun, I command!)
Perfect carvings, arches, testament to…
Two.
In the light.
Demons.
This is not a dream.
On the left: black, chains, blades and horror,
Lost and hated
From the world below:
Desiring your pain and fear.
On the right: lustrous crimson marble,
Vain and heroic
From the world above! (Sun! I command!)
Fear his desire!
Two
Demons
In-between worlds:
Sentinels, guarding Beauty;
Demons, in balance;
Peace.
Where I,
I
Am sovereign.
With my demons,
My sentinels,
My children,
My angels,
My gods,
My self.
