Permanently Astral

Sanguinous soaked hands
spattered with juices
of my own heedless desire
to die

A heaviness in the air
binding my heart to the
Earth
softens slowly

My old breath eases
and falters
a fresh wave of existence
as my body drops
like tattered laundry on the floor

The weakness in my arms, legs, bones
dissolves like sugar in tea
I shed my fleshy cocoon as it degrades
a new strength
erupts within a fully astral me

A river in the sky
Quite an opposing image to that of Styx
Flowing with coruscating beads
Translucent, but oh so obviously present

An immersion
in fluid beatitude
Held in tune with
blind, but pansophical eyes
Oh, mellifluous mortality

Beyond
A conscious whirl
of beyond
What is next?

I like this poem. Type of poem you need time to read. Your use of language is amazing. I could break down each set of lines and create a powerful emotion.
