Island Of Weird Faith

Away from everything I know and love 
on clacking wheels of anguish unforetold 
I realign the real with regal shove 
which disenrolls my soul from psychic mold 
so I can reinstate the faceless ghost 
as blind prophet who wanders misty coast. 

Weird nonsense of the multifarious book 
which contradicts cruel edict of the seer 
deceives Silverius when he asks the cook 
to prove true beauty blooms from wordless fear 
since dogs consume dead warriors by the sea 
who once believed they fought for Liberty. 

From children who survive each bombing raid 
new holy angels rise from flames of war 
with lust for honor that might never fade 
though hot blood flows from the humanoid core 
when angry men go on wild killing sprees 
because they cannot understand dream keys. 

Alone in cave on Palmarola Isle, 
Silverius watches shadows of his mind 
transform to shining god from crocodile 
when he eats mushroom Apollo designed 
to reprogram brains of devils with truth 
that makes them angels of messiah sleuth. 

Elusive crystal eye of ancient thought 
refracts conceptual ideas through words, 
so we discover what the prophet sought 
who shares tragic plot with the haughty birds 
because they disappear in glowing screen 
of myth engineered by the faith machine. 

Heart empty from patent faith of despair, 
I lie on jagged island of weird faith 
in exile from mirrored court of fake prayer 
while eerie tune sung by the cosmic wraith 
hypnotizes my mind with tragic play 
which Hamlet directs to dispel doomsday. 

Awake with ancient wisdom of mute stars, 
Silverius stands on ocean beach of hope 
while Ishtar floats over highway of cars 
to give him book with jokes that help him cope 
with anguish that he lost the power game 
while clutching broken jade seal of world fame. 

If only we could dwell in mirror hall 
that resembles Heaven we dream in tales 
which conjure vision of the Formless All, 
then we would weigh evidence on frank scales 
to expose true face of the cosmic herald 
whose spells will soon reorganize the world.
