    In The Arms of Aeon

    Hissing snakes from the ground sounding through the wind
    Sinking the flesh and chilling the spine
    Mapping the synchronicity of time
    Logos pulling arms through the blind
    Light years of bending strands of veiled illusions
    Peer witness to Aeon
    Where she calls to he
    Where she is
    Eternally holding arms
    A cup pouring water
    Into the boundless sea

    AEON OLD INTO AEON NEW

    He took her hand in tranquility
    The sound so blaring
    As she walked him through the sharpest truth
    Her nature spoke “All is right.”
    And so it goes that in her arms he fell tonight, sunken
    Bid farewell to the pain released into itself

    Flowing pleasure heaven
    He closed his eyes and all turned blue
    So he walked into it
    Vibrancy
    Frequency

    Perfect wisdom
    Sophia unveiled
    Blinding so fine
    Vision realized too true
    Fallen in love

    ON CUTTING
    Your doing it wrong
    You break the shaving razor with your hands
    Retrieve the blade
    Your wrists tremble in reluctance
    You slice them into beautiful red waterfalls circling the drain
    You realize the pain is real
    Emotional pain being meaningless
    You get to feel something
    High and delusional
    You burn the blood unto thy internet
    DNA satellites
    Helicopters circle above
    Dry mundane daze
    You realize yourself in the mirror
    Mediocrity and oppression
    Neurotic depression
    They all hang like raven wings
    Look yourself in the eyes
    Tell yourself
    Continue to circle the drain
    There is no such thing as rock bottom

    The Furies
    The shadow of a dead oak falls on the earth
    The dead leaves whistling in a cold breeze
    When the time is broken our ties to heaven tear like lies of untold fates
    The Furies break through and wreak havoc on lives
    The lines of reality to delusional nightmare
    A storm clears in the eye and there’s a calm in the air
    Wont habits and thinking to be destroyed and unlearned
    Through creative method

    Clarity
    Eat the glass
    That lies
    Between your eyes
    And the truth
    Shining through
    The oath is clear
    Eat the glass

    Trucidatio
    Cum sanguini aquaeducti fluent
    Ab viae sibi mortis consciscentis in aedificium eius
    Oculi Romani Imperetoris firgidoris ad umbraculam videns,
    Cornices umbrae contra luna in aedificii statae
    Scelerae voces invidiis clamans
    In Sanguini demiergemus
    Massacre
    The aqueducts are flowing with blood
    From the suicide streets into their building
    Their roman empire eyes stare at cold screens
    Ravens mounted on the structures silhouette against the moon
    Their wicked voices scream of hate
    We drown in the blood

    Bellum Temporum
    Tempus cubare creatur igitur nos confusum
    Vera ipse clara et non quaretur convesum socratum ita
    Ex crepuscule et deltrium novorum venemini etiam
    Deus mortem visum de speculo et nunc tamen vocabo
    Hoc mundorum quaretis animas flammas exspiras

    A Rune in the Ruins
    The gaze in the mirror is lost and alone…
    At first glance is a man in distress
    His eyes start sinking and the pupils open deep
    The flesh sends off heat and the eyes fade further to black holes in the face
    The image transforms slowly melting expressions on a mask of unknown possibility
    The face of an old viking a thousand years old
    And the face turns mean and then smiles old and wise
    Dark plasm flows from the eyes all around the mask
    Shifting little imperfections of being one to another
    It shakes itself off only to be pulled back in by the eyes
    Again and again the pupils open up and the flesh and the blood turn hot melt the face vaguely
    Now there’s a dead man’s face with brittle hair in his beard
    His eyes dissolving the judgment and fears and intentions of living
    The eyes turn liquid and the plasm stretches like amoeba, swallowing al of being slowly and surely
    It grows and grows covering the house and the town
    It devours countries and the oceans
    And finally the globes all swallowed in deep space
    Just as I swallow this fruit I throw out the peel
    And it lay there for days and dries up
    For weeks and it shrivels for months and years and its barely there but still something is left aimlessly wandering…
    Like swinging a blade
    and creating destruction
    I dream alone at night traversing myself
    The inner tunnels of the labyrinth destiny
    Fighting just makes it hurt
    Letting go so blissfully
    It came time to do what I always knew I would
    The journey itself the destiny, with the only reason being why
    The battlefield for progress in a mind field
    In the beginning together as one
    I landed my ship and headed for home, the long journey home
    And so it said “When you transist the OM it will soothe so sweet.”
    Reappearing on the triumph of your virtue on the day we meet
    I don’t know you yet
    Or so it seems
    so long ago
    and so soon
    we age older and older
    And we are traveling the world
    just to see “what’s out there?”
    And “It this for me?”
    Or “How about that?!”
    I settle on the coast between to oceans
    I write by the fire in a humble home
    I eat modest meals and wander the rains forest
    I swim in the rivers where poor children play
    I soak in the sun and rest on the beaches
    I never have the time for the life of me
    I simply sit cross legged by the waves where the tropic summer stretches so long
    The tide ebbs and flows in harmony like the wild fires in your eyes
    We drown in beauty so out of time
    And with the battle long over laying there to rest I see the joy and the pain all in good jest
    Now the wind blows easy in the palm of my hand
    And through the shape of the world I find my creation
    The driving focus throwing the day dream in motion
    Just as Archimedes the Greek constructed bronze cogs and founting water in Antikytheara
    measuring the movements of the heavens
    It must have broken his heart when it sank to the bed of the Mediterranean
    Rusting and waiting to be discovered for centuries
    And all the flames of knowledge from the burning books when Alexandria’s library was torched in antiquity
    A fire that settled as the ashes we call the dark ages
    And now there’s a spark of a dawning a new day
    And in a fever my heart begs to be free
    It all came down so fast I couldn’t believe
    She spoke clearly
    Her name Athena
    And she’s guiding the exploding desire
    to the twilight where the attraction is real
    Before I was foolish, anxiously running from myself
    Scattered and town like leaves and branches in fall
    The gardens adorned like a puzzle so pieced sleep waking itself back into place
    My aim was askew downward and inward to nothing
    But hers was dead on and she hit the target with no sin no sign just two points in a perfectly straight line
    The magic is gone and everything is clear
    We both feel no fear
    The building are towering
    And no one knows what to expect
    Sitting here waiting for the sun and moon to set
    All flawlessly flowing in the sands of time
    Just then a lantern was lit
    I find myself in a dragons lair
    where he lies sleeping in slumbers dream for Aeon
    He barely awoke at my knock on the door
    And mumbled “Just leave me be I’m sleeping til dead.”
    I felt what he meant and looked down to the ground and started to turn around
    It is here where the bone yards of men and their horses lie dead in the dust a cold and dark air blows in the cave and I wrap my arms around my self as I look down to the ground and start to turn around
    and their horses lie dead in the dust
    A cold and dark air blows in the cove and I wrap my arms around my self as I look down in the lake
    The water is a dark and aquiesent with no reflection at all
    Suddenly very far off a dim light appears
    blindly making my way through those serpentine tombs following the growing light
    I stumble on a golden room bursting open my eyes
    Colorful painting and sculptures and cryptic writing
    are all scrawled on the walls
    In the center rests gold and silver and jewels
    With hanging vined fruits for the hand of god
    While outside in the desert vultures are preying and the carrion rots in the valley of plagues
    But here a laughter flows melodious from the mystic breath of afterlife
    And so it goes timelessly turning today as before and ever again
    We return and the quest is a white rose
    from your mother and father given to you a long time ago
    That you thought you’d lost
    You sought it out and found it here
    A rune in the ruins of a broken mirror

    There's a lot to take in here - too much for one reading.

    The Latin will appeal to very few I'm afraid - and I never considered it the most 'poetic' of languages.

    On Cutting and Massacres worked best in my opinion, though I'm not sure whether 'thy internet' is a typo or an attempt to inject some archaic language into the piece (if the latter it's an unfortunate move).

    In the Arms of Aeon comes across as over-the-top, melodramatic writing. It seems to be all about creating an effect of seriousness but contains a number of glaringly ungrammatical phrases and finally disappears up its own metaphorical ****.
    Though I did appreciate the image of
    A cup pouring water
    Into the boundless sea


    A Rune in the Ruins displays a lot of work and I'm unable to do it justice following one reading. Something I shall come back to later.

    Thanks for reading. It's funny though because a couple of people actually told me they prefer the aeon one. And most people didn't like the ones you considered best. But those are the most recently written so they should be the better.

    as far as aeon poem goes, in my defense love poetry is by far the hardest form of poetry to do. youll have to forgive my 'melodrama' but it is how i truly felt, despite how cheesy it may be.

    i wasnt trying to sound archaic with "Thy", tho it wasnt a typo, if you read it that way thats fine. the/thy/whatever. was meant to be more ironic than anything.

    Thanks for your honest opinion on it.

    metaphorical **** indeed.
