Within and Without

 

From essential strands of primordial weave

Warm life became of that cold, hard clay

Conceived in the womb of inimical void

Before the first light of terrestrial day

 

Struggling to quell the human machine

An urge to shed new skin overpowers

Mortal endeavors striving for decades….

Having traveled from life’s beginning hours

 

The sting of sapience cries for attention

Experience curls a beckoning finger

Delaying the plague of prosaic decay

Hybrid emotions determined to linger

 

The eloquent drugs of lies, love and lust

Chemicals bred from ineffable plans

Contorted by nature’s loving cruelty

Pristine complected goddess hands

 

A peaceful flight over planes of existence

The dreams that stir in the minds of the dead

Orphaned monoliths soaking in sunset

Ciphered encryptions remaining unread

 

Exhaustive throes of euphoric eternity

Impish forms dance in a spherical glass

Oblivion splashed with erratic imagery

The essence that binds all matter and mass

 

A majestic union of darkness and light

From oil and water to groom and bride

Through the myopia boundaries are breached

The depth and danger along the ride

I really liked this. I learned a few new words too, which is always a good thing :)
