Aurora Rising

Life's not only empty for its impermanence 
But because of its need to be expressed 
Still I seek a love beyond mortal optimism 
And the fields of mourning 
For whom the pangs of infatuation 
Intern thereafter the tears of death 

We don't belong, yet here we have to be 
Until heaven and earth meet to merge
With no firmament between 
Let us not forget, that time is distance 
And this pendulum an oar
To accommodate my spirit
As my vessel waits upon the shore
Until colours coalesce in Mnemosyne's kiss
And we evade the shadows of Lethe 
But was it by choice or error 
Because it feels like sin to breathe 
As sin is death, but death in turn
Gives another chance 
For what has kept us apart
Has come to bring us back
And though the stones may still be standing 
So too are you and I
For what will be already is
Real as it is imagined 

Between the sun and moon, a crepuscule 
The alternative that is the otherworld 
The Antichthon for the unlived 
That place never found in time 
Or ever free upon the earth
The field we never ran through 
That tree for us to rest
Although rituals and rites are trivial 
When indelibly we dwell apart
Knowing this odyssey is a test

Ascend with me beyond the sun
Where all that is still has risen 
And need not fall nor ever set in stone 
That name of which the hands of time have clung
And instead of spending my youth, I saved it
Inside a vault inside an impermeable chamber 
Where I poured out the bowls and opened the seals
Though the world would not part
For you to find your way to me 

How can one be crowned without a star
Or a dove descend before the serpent's found its end
But nigh is my chariot to your palace
Where we dance in the blood of Urith 
Unmasking depths of Iris's amor
As the seed eventually flowers, and we capture 
The pulchritudinous refrains of Lucifer 
Where all that is still has risen
To remain forevermore 

And palpable are the planets crashing 
As blood shudders through Theia and Synestia 
Of aeons in emanation, my theophany 
Cascading in every beat
Parallel as we stand to bridge the liminal 
On stones of antimony
And foundations of sapphire 
Possessing every revelation
Telepathic vision and dream 
The epiclesis in your orbs and aura
Overwhelming as the tangible intensifies 
And we conflate in flesh and spirit 
Where all that is still has risen
And never again shall die
