All that is, was or ever will be (under a rekindled sun(

Idolatrous lovers adoration

Is an insidious ecstasy of intoxication

Addictions desire

Brings withdrawals fire

And threat of rejection damnation

The decent form perfection, once known,

When we our own deity dethrone,

Leaves broken covenants,

Divorce from obligation,

Which is called the progress of civilized relation.

Atheism is the practical creed,

Immediate pleasure driven by greed

What is of greatest value crucify,

Defile all that is on high

With words we tear our lovers heart

Tender bonds fall apart

Broken covenants, dreams destroyed,

With continued closeness we grow annoyed

Intimate estrangement,

Agnostic conversion,

Orderly derangement,

Spiritual perversion,

Violating, vitriolic, verbal, violence,

Treasonous, mortal wounds in silence

Disemboweled, our vitality begins to unfold

Disavowed, our mortality we refuse to behold

Hoping that leaving the injury alone

It will heal on its own

The soul’s blood spent

Through this irreparable rent,

Unheeded pours, through Eden’s doors

Impossible to return to that innocent state

Cherubim, with flaming swords, guard the gate

No mortal, for this sin, can atone

On that cross, God must hang alone

Courage, cowardice, truth, lies

Inconsequential martyrdom, ignoble demise,

Hoping, despairing, pleasure, pain

Suffering, forgiving again and again

Buoyed up on fantasy’s fragile wings,

By the winds of hope, that delusion brings,

Together we stand on shifting sand

On your hand that single band

In holy violation of God and Nation,

Our beginning initiation our final destination

Yet the rapturous delirium of your intoxicating illusion

Leaves me in hope that our deaths dissolution,

Results in our resurrection, more perfect than before

I’ll wait for you beyond that door
