Birth of a Star

"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a star." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Birth of a Star

Chaos!

Within me
A  blessed light has pierced the
Flesh of a heart which houses a delicate soul

Cracks form
Unholy fissures that sever and wound
The Illumination that cries outward to weep

Snap!

I'm disfigured
As my back violently arches
Till tips of tainted hair kiss the damp Earth

Beams spring
From radiance in the core of my chest
Nothing now but broken sternum in a weak body

I scream!

Silence becomes
The warrior's shuddering plea
As chaos overwhelms my quivering soul

Jaw slacks
As vibrations echo through my throat
Producing ripples in time and space and chilled air

Consumed!

Passion and
Blood-lust and Fire devour all
 That I know and can feel and ever hope to be

Brilliance forms
A devoted creation whose
Wide eyes bare witness to visions of Chaos' goal

My destiny!

Darkness flees
As particle waves shatter my body
Producing the embodiment of all passions

I am
An awaited prophesy
Of a reborn cosmic Entity

A star!
