Treasure And Principalities
Sooner the monsoon the better
For never will an unfledged urchin become the butterfly
Lost and amiss under the tutelage of peers and influencers
Enticed by diamonds devoid of substance and colour
When shone under the true purity of light
Let your isotropic dreams dissolve, reverse the persecution
As you stare toward the altar of nothingness
And I turn to scream among faces of the congregating dead
Insufferably hopeless and incredulously soulless inside
Tear through these orbs to see not a tear among the oceans
Despite despair for the night sky
When Tiamat falls to sleep and Sirius soars to glisten
Upon creatures of chaos as they dream
But the day it has not dawned, nor the wish awoken
So strip away the matrix and unseal the scar
Annihilating the nether self, draining the whore within
Where the sleepwalking believe they've woke
And the somatic dance death's amorous wage of sin
So may the material you seek be soulful
For what is incomparable to the one you must walk through
Is a mirror made of glass
And from inside I live outside the world
All the while I exist within, standing indivisible
And invincibly invisible as I disappear as one
When man's outlook on evolution is transhuman
And knowing thyself is to capture consciousness
And to embellish the temple, outside
Where the word is wasted upon the rocks and thorns
So lay these fasces to ashes
For it's the destruction that keeps us turning
Another stick to subjugate, from high rise to Sinai
You can hear the cries from the pyre
As another child conforms to integrate the bundle
I'll always be a ghost to this world, but not to the other
And I would stand against ignorance if it wasn't a winless war
For prejudice is limited by epochs and peers
Until acceptance becomes, but never is it inclusive of the all
Letting hope illuminate and puerile infatuations grow
We dance around cancer to glimpse rays of the sun
Where the devil's greatest deception yet, is letting us believe
That at once we could reach our God above
And where the spirit resides we call our home
For eternity is the spark which lights the lantern
And ether where the soul seeks to expand
From depths of above to skies of the cavern
Absorbed into the earth and shell
We must shed all components of life and man
Still the playground is plagued by parasites
And the classroom empty
For the pleasure of vengeance, resentment and envy
And the love we once had is gone
Though waiting again to be found
As we wallow upon the grave of God
Let it all unravel, strand by strand
Until we no longer can remember the past
Excepting innocence and grace as we become
Ever immaterial, and never to return
To this wasteland paradise

Wow! So many images here! Images of the soulless. The glittering nothings. I find beauty in the living wild. Mother nature is, of course, as brutal as she is beautiful but she makes us feel alive! Nothing sparkles like the sunlight glinting on water, not even diamonds. Love, LOVE, your poem x
Thank you so much Tina, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to examine it and for leaving such a positive comment.
You are very welcome x
excellent write. I enjoyed it very much
Thank you very much Poetess. I greatly appreciate it.
'As we wallow upon the grave of god'
resonated with me as I think maybe that's what I'm doing. What i read here in these wonderful and descriptive words is a weariness of life and the bullshit narrative we are force fed but I could be wrong...Great stuff x
Thank you so much for your kind words Marion. You are correct with your analysis.
This one got me quite emotional, especially the ending....a wasteland paradise.
You write about things I am afraid to write about or even think about these days, and I admire it. The earnestness and honesty here are achingly beautiful. 🌹🥀
Thank you again Brittany. This wasteland could have been and still could be so much more.
I’ve read most of your work and I don’t know how I missed this one.
Absolutely stunning piece. I cannot say enough how much I like your
style of writing, Ian. I honestly do. I see sadness & beauty intertwined, and it touches me.
