Alkahest (I felt like a statue)

Weep for the world As the world bleeds for you Beyond salvation Equilibrium Sublingual dissolution Transmutation of this Worldly prison Melt our bones in molten honey Great tides of viscous tea Scent of bud, drug of leaf The dregs of you and me Cast my fear upon the stones Mastication Trace its colours til their hollow Ghost howls through the outdoor spaces Cold and quaking, you're alone Breathing deeply of the song "Beware the Dance" Inflammation Again doth manifest Goddess of moon and sea He's not in love with Her But he sure would like to Be "Come and drink of the future that I foretell." Forbidden fruit Hidden fountain Dreams of youth From the garden, view the mountain Biomechanical Extract a core sample System purge Irresistible Incorporation Sluice pulsating Sludge Materialist Itch Let's forget about things temporal (Just for a moment?) A rosewater realm Of memory suspended, crystalline faces of truth Seeing it shattered and separate Sensing the resonant whole The trees grow tall and your body stale But the sky glides past as ever Divorced from the agony of I Coalesce in infinite embrace We who remain carry on the dance To honour what has come before Leaving our mark until we too can rest A lake of mirrors To stun the eye My spirit is lost in its reflection A simple taste Would satisfy But I dare not disturb its perfection Release the Tension.
