Maze Of Overlook Hotel

Maze Of Overlook Hotel

Unbearable coldness of divine breath 
shocks my iced brain with shining thought, 
so I search every spirit-shadowed room 
in endless maze of Overlook Hotel, 
guided by glow of my Chaldean Star, 
where I meet Lucifer in every door. 

With shining globe of psychic energy, 
that luminates face my ancestors wore, 
I approach marble idol of dead god 
in gloomy maze of Overlook Hotel 
to ask opinion about earnest love 
that gleams behind glass mask of Lucifer. 

Still searching garden of our secret code 
six thousand years after Eve eats the pear, 
I read countless books full of singing ghosts 
in curving maze of Overlook Hotel 
who follow footsteps of my riddle-verse 
to Sacred Tree at heart of Middle-Earth. 

Since atoms shining in net of my brain 
evolve fish to wingless angel who sings, 
I feel I am God waking through my mind 
in psychic maze of Overlook Hotel 
to gain enlightenment of cosmic truth 
that gleams in eyes of every conscious soul. 

When we share smiles of fractured fantasy 
to constitute our global state of peace, 
I cook hamburgers for eight billion souls 
in doorless maze of Overlook Hotel 
who agree to design system of laws 
that manages woke world through liberty. 

Mapping roads along river of glass skulls 
where people gather in churches to pray, 
I set flow direction of water pipes 
in flooded maze of Overlook Hotel 
with plan to evaluate random fate 
that blindly highlights victims of world fame. 

Untangling names from matrix of lost time, 
as character in tapestry of fate, 
I see the Shining through my mirror mask 
in fractured maze of Overlook Hotel 
reflecting memories of each conscious soul 
who has lived in dream of our spinning world. 

Returning home to Isle of Avalon 
across the strangest sea of sophistry, 
I rise from wordless waves at dawn of time 
in vanished maze of Overlook Hotel 
to smile as ghost in tapestry of tales 
woven by Penelope every day.

  1. Orpheus types a million sentences on the typewriter in the Overlook Hotel that repeat: All work and no play makes Orpheus a psychotic king.

  2. I had a weird thought near the end of this poem that Jack in The Shining is Odysseus who could not escape the island of Calypso.
