Worship of The Demi-Urge
There is a difference between self-gratification and self-betterment
I was told so by a fish that loved to swim.
She said "what does it matter if you've got nothing to lose?"
"This way you can have everything"
And, my, that sounded appealing.
So now I swim with her, in her sea and, together, we are the best swimmers there ever were.
I Think I'll Keep This One
Thank you for speaking
I love these things you've made for me
I've hung them on my walls,
Set them on my shelves and,
Now that you're gone
I keep them from the dust
That one day you'll see my wonderful collection again.
The Room of Limited Experience
These rooms are endless and these halls are infinite
Each floor is everywhere and each building is everything
Except for one.
The room I've locked myself in.
Here, things are small, the things that happen are few.
Here, the lights are soft and the hums are steady.
Here, my thoughts are centered and my feelings are balanced
So I guess I won't be leaving.
Looking Forward into the Dusk Horizon
An unspoken symphony
Without a syllable, without a sound.
A holy sermon where nobody stood to preach.
A vision fading, yet, finally nearing sincere closure
I call as curtains bow and my moon rises to carry the tides.
Through clasped teeth I sing your favorite lullaby
Because I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's Because You've Been Programmed!
A steel heart works like a flesh-computer
Understand that circuitry has rules; parameters for which it cannot operate without
To these machines, blood is power
An organic hive-mind that has steeped the world in a putrid tea
But, also understand, the heart of flesh works aside the best computers known to humanity.
Unknown to humanity,
The heart of all things
And to this end, I believe, you are forgiven.
This is Is
This being "is"
Represents the present
As we are all that is in attendance.
Within numbers one may always find more,
Their meaning as infinite as the sum of their being
In a full circle; the existence of the endless variable is at core the moment that slips between our fingers yet, is all that exists.
I Miss my Abyss
I am Time.
For all that there has been and will be, I bear witness.
My sweetest Space shares these moments with me.
I love them.
But only the story is forever;
Space was never "mine" to begin with
And I have been stripped of the title of Time.
And now I am nothing.
And now I am everything.
