Suspirium

This is a waltz thinking 

about our bodies

What they mean

for our salvation

With only the clothes

that we stand up in

Just the ground

on which we stand

Is the darkness 

ours to take?

Bathed in lightness, 

bathed in heat

All is well, 

as long as we keep spinning

Here and now, 

dancing behind a wall

When the old songs and laughter we do

Are forgiven 

always and never been true

When I arrive, 

will you come and find me?

Or in a crowd,

be one of them?

Wore the wrong sign

back beside her

Know tomorrow's

at peace

~ Thomas Edward Yorke

Mistress of Mystery

"I am mistress of all the sciences. 

I go so far beyond all else

 that my work is called 

magic. 

I manipulate noumena, 

regarding monads as points of entry tangential to hylomorphism. 

As to the paradox of Primary Essence

 being contained in Quiddity, 

the larger in the smaller, 

I have my own solution.

The difficulty is always 

in not confusing 

Contingency with Accidence. 

Do you understand me?"

....."Sure. You're a witch."

 ~ R. A. Lafferty,

Lament

A portion like madness in season

Bracing all like a breaking of reason

With every night lost and every day torn

With the drama feeling calmer 
and it's calmer in the storm

Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain

I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain

And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night

I'll never be free

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore

I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor

I can't break what I held and it never was true

In the mirror what I said was I lied to you

And me and everything I see and everything I could

Tried so hard to be good

For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine

For everything but I can fail just so many times

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

I can't stop when I feel like stopping

At five A.M. just cry, shoot, copping

The perfect life was enough for you

And ever enough to see me through

For all the lies that were spoken in waves

And the way we lived as an affront to the days

Was an affront to the things that we cared about

Was an affront to everything that we cared about

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way, oh

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way 

(light my way)

Light my way 

(light my way)

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way 

(out of the darkness)

Ooh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

(light my way)

Ozymandias

Ozymandias

I met a traveler from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:

‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away."

~ by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The Tin Man Evolved.

I've got no strings

to hold me down, 

to make me fret, 

or make me frown. 

I had strings, 

but now I'm free... 

there are 

no strings 

on me!
