The Relapse of the Relinquished Rapture (1 Viewer)

[dark_tranquility]

From aeons hymn, a misery dims
transcending, becoming, transforming
Carving the stone with a blunt knife
a deeper force to be reckoned with
a monument to the lives long since past
the extinguished are always relinquished
headless serpents call my grave home
sewn are the seeds of remorse
contemplating the travesty of a fallen kingdom
The nile infinitely sinking into the reaches of my mind
sublime are the utmost rancid of smells
dwelling in a pit of despair
I declare war in essence, in retaliation
god dethroned and passionless beauty reigns
reigning no more, is the righteous whore
of a woman, of servitude, of peerage and judgment
Lost forever in time, is the harvest confined
the harvesting of souls and toil
boiling down to a stalemate
are the deeds I laid bare
fittingly into a corpse, freshly dug
the irony of a contradictory wasteland
irons out all but the smug faces
an invisible hand glides
my consequences into reality


Best one I have done to date imo.
It's dark, but has a hidden beauty to in its warmth.

I thought about doing that for years, but it never bared fruit of any kind.
Oh well. In my mind remains the science.

Yeah all the great poets of old are long since deceased. : /
Poe was one of my inspirations, along with Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson.
