Stairs of Consciousness

Sheer abandon, an angel’s lust, a spirit’s ache, a fervent flush.
My mystic star, a torrent tear, a tragic spark, a ferric spear.
And passion hell, a pistol pain, a demon’s tug, the drug of
Bane. For terror born, a dungeon tank, a spirit death, a
Portrait blank. My magic wind, a wicked wave, a mortal
Marsh, a tare aflame. And sullen shame, a burden sore, a
Bleakish art, a bleeding pore. But cultic cave, a haven heart,
A heavy clutch, a feyic spark.

My paramour, a spirit flame, a fractured flare, a privy pang. And
Devil dream, a demon taunt, a treble prayer, a treasure hunt.
Thus aflare, a sullen soul, a sacred cry, a cryptic scroll. For glint
To gleam, a gravid flight, a spirit pain, a mystic night. And
Heaven hell, a mortal walk, a cultic haze, a portrait fraught. My
Torrent scar, a villain bare, a vivid vex, a tragic tare.
