TIAMAT – A DEEPER KIND OF SLUMBER:
Not far from where I live · They glance in morning breeze
As dividing tiny rays · A morning tries to seize
Greet me my proud little soldiers · Of brown, purple and Grey
Carry us on your shoulders · Carry us far away
If you begin to fall · Please have some more
You could stay at me place if you want · I’ll sleep on the floor
In shades of purple cloth · They guide us to the light
With irresistible pride · To the feast they us invite
( FOR LONG AND FAITHFUL SERVICE )
Kicks this cadent purity
Wraps this cadent purity
Soothe my skin · My sweetness of soul
Your dream I dreamed · Dear wateringhole
Deep underneath · Your soft waterdown
I breathe in the fumes · Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride · I confess myself doomed
My air has ceased · To the deepest peace of mind
What it once ment · Is lost in the end
With profound words · Of just beeing friends
A timeglass you turned · Of hours getting late
How fatal then · Is all of your hate
It comes smoothly at start · Stirs gently in the colour pot
Centrifuge · Restore amends · For every spiralchange
A snowflake bride · A heroine
(- - - Heroin, psylocybin, mescaline, psilocin, fucking oxytocin bitch)
A quark resolution of god · An angel in powder snow
Symmetrical asymmetry · A new-born star of logic · A new-born star of magic
Take a short-wave frequency ride · ( Any you like)
What you believe in, You’ll find · Close your eyes to see
This will take awhile. . . . . . . . · I wipe the steamy window lustre
Today I’ll attend a new planet earth · After you sir...
Overhead my spirit flies · In plasticide and crimson skies
Whispering winds in moonlit wood · A toten oak once golden stood
How I wish that you were here · Before all flowers disappeared
We’d lay together in the sun · Before the mindrape had begun
Now stones are falling from my hands · Are shaking all my
Beloved land . . . . . . . · A watery glimse back on my past · And only in my tears it lasts
Everything they do and say · Might even fool a clover mind
Just won’t forget their price to pay · As silk betrays and truth unwinds
Cling, cling to your mind, my words · Never trust a foreign race
All the sweetness you have heard · Has put your soul in carbon haze
Cling, cling to shattered nerves · To the Queen you did adore
Has turned to stiff ebonite curves · In scarlet waves on distant shore
This dole crowned gallows me · As this mere walk-in hallowed be
Whereupon I trick and train and tire · To limn my umbered love in fire
Before this noble mare bewrays · As I clearly see it all decays
In debile coil of smoke suspires · Ay our last orison quickens as we
Are drumbling near this poize of free · Quell me maculate slowly dyer
Case my remains with sharpened brier · Atone me to my throes curtail
To dim and dire fields I Vail · And my eale’s but a slumbering lier
Then so lingered here but none · To buckle back what had begun
In molten aeons caged desire · Dared phantasma us much higher
Ceased to milch the clover flower · Neither raindrops nor my love
Shall restore what has been done · When we’re all keeled in freezing sun . . . . . . .
The threne my love that opens now · In cattle blood of aery brow
Con that life’s a dream not to affy · As embodied matter love will die
You twinkle still in Argentine · When I palmy dout the rapid din
To force the mure, the pain I hide · As you’re not longer by my side
Mazed I helmed this crater deem · Stranger than a stranger seems
Wished to shroud the sortance leer · And yarely wink the eyes of fear
Splay the moon that foolish be · And let the sunshine
Revin me beyond the love I do behold · A ken I saw, a fane of gold
I’d peize in pounds our insane blend · And Phantom laid a smile I send
Eke an ounce of purple · Fire and fairy eyes no longer twire
Would fain to stalk the colour fields · But tickle I shall stark lonely yield
Merely in drowning water clay · As anguish wears but shades of grey
To retain the chains of elder squire · I’d prune the funeral skies denier
Once in awhile he still appeals · To remind you all it’s still
For real breathing smoke and fire · But the face of evil that haunted us
Was never ever present thus · The cupid rainbow ties an orb · In which every demon shall absorb
Do you think I care? · . . . . . . . . Do you really think I care ?
A DEEPER KIND OF SLUMBER
Robin Goodfellow · Dianae, my muse · Morpheus in my Heart
Your sand in my veins · It’s deeper kind of slumber · What is universe anyway
But a pouch of silver coins · The intense breathing · Of a dying animal
A foreboding of afterlife · Master keys in oaken chest · The somewhere is mine
And from there I’ll continue · All I asked for was a little love · Meet me on the other side
Where as a rose I will wake · Though blind I follow every step you take
Dianae, my muse · Dianae, my solitude · Cease to exist, rise to exist no more
It’s a deeper kind of slumber . . . . . . .
