The Numinous One

“What I was once, I still am” Praise, across the blind horizon The unthinkable! The absurd unknown comes to rise, To open his hands, to die again Paradox of life outside the restraining shell The creature marks the bridges of time There’s no return no coming back for us Dirges coming like waves Mankind talking to mankind in mourning. Noumena Inaccessible shine! But shadows embrace it all Shadows embrace you all Here is the divine horror, Numinous life of the dead, The scent of putrid breath Indifferent, eucharist elicits the power, the horror Life is formed then deformed The wonder will strike So cold and numb we’ll knee In front of that which burns Out of this world, out of myself Tis’not for us, never again! Light fades away, soon to be banished Out of this world, I know: I belong to you Nothing is required but the courage to stare, To be alone, to open the eyes Here Beyond the constraints of fate To be born and die again To respawn by horrible stings on venomous ecstasy! The nest will swarm Its horrid form The nest will swarm And spread its pest! Never thought the time would come The time to meet Then those eyes blazed, unextinct In the dark for me! Numinous life of the dead Weep for the lies you told and for all those unspoken Open your eyes and see the silence Light, hunger, bliss will be no more And so the pace that fades away… Nowhere but here!
