Visions and Dark MusingsA Poem by Itsalright_maI've recently been reading some of Blake's poetry. Intended audience is 'sinners'.
Under the lamplight wrought by human hands
no longer requiring the animal sacrifice once necessary for simple sight I record my musings in psalms and questions of brevity hoping to entwine, like ivy on aged brick, beauty to the eyes of passers by and a resolution as firm as eternity's light. Seraphic transportations to realms unimagined and held with sacred worth belie a heart beneath a weight as soothing as balm of the Holy Spirit, or gentle as the pressure of a familiar love. We seek with mad passions the dawn of ages come and gone, as if a sun bringing light to horizons' undersides may shew forth the cure that is found so prescriptive and bitter. Burning with eyes like brimstone and heat, with warnings of better days to come, our souls recoil at yet another plight we know not, although we may know nothing at all with a cistern filled by the empty promises of desire. © 2011 Itsalright_maAuthor's Note
