Dreamless Eye Of Death

Dreamless Eye Of Death

Knowledge of soul-congealing light must come 
through my brain on opaque wings of red dawn, 
disguised as wounds that rip my pulsing soul 
on slow transition between states of mind 
while I trudge beneath exquisite lamp boughs 
that drip blood into dreamless eye of death. 

With tasteless morsels of intense surmise 
I reach out to dark shadow of my hope 
that slips away through doors of nevermore 
while I float tangled by my navel cord 
with undulating matrix of desire 
that carries me to dreamless eye of death. 

Carnivorous flower of my hungry brain, 
suppressed by casual weight of tuneless night, 
fuels my aggressive journey past myself 
with rumbling undertones of engine minds 
that drag me back from paradise to life 
when I wake free from dreamless eye of death. 

With abyss-probing instrument of truth 
I penetrate infinity of why 
to examine nature of this frail body 
by which I stumble down fraught road of life, 
expanding far beyond bounds of my soul 
that telescopes from dreamless eye of death. 

Conceptual spiders of my flashing brain 
drag neural web of frantic memories 
through swirling vortex of delirium 
toward cataclysmic maelstrom of my words 
till I surf turbulence of honest faith 
that blossoms worlds from dreamless eye of death. 

With lips still burning from sour angel kiss 
I try to sing eccentric code of truth, 
disarming demons hiding in my hands, 
till sheep dance laughing on wet meadow grass 
as shepherds construct starship from glass acorns 
that zooms black hole in dreamless eye of death. 

Wandering lost forever in maze of myths, 
that jostles wild with anonymous ghosts, 
I follow feeble flicker of glass bulbs 
to search dark underground for lonely souls 
who want to sing fierce howl of false desire, 
embalmed by fate in dreamless eye of death. 

My future self, encased in silver mask, 
thrusts wordless thoughts of love at my frail face 
with delicate wings of soul-slashing blades, 
distorting my perception of my being 
with magic apparatus of my mind 
which obliterates dreamless eye of death.
