Lamentations: Of Deceit & Redemption
I am endless Pure potential, the author & architect Both the master and the apprentice Free from the confines of the mind Broken the constraints of matter & time Beyond self righteousness, transcending the I A crucifixion of fear The Phoenix rises from ashes Prevailing, out of the flames As always I sovereign Your dominion is futile For want of power, your ruin Prevailing out of flames As always I sovereign I am presence, I am consciousness One with all that is Alone I prevail, the alpha and omega. In order to soar over mountains One must tread lone though the wilderness Get up off your knees Get down from your throne A crucifixion of fear The Phoenix rises from ashes Prevailing from the flame As always I Sovereign My virtue limitless Omnipotent, relentless Prevailing out of flames As always I Sovereign Crowning the kings of the wretched As they sacrifice our kin, on alters of gold Filling their cup with of the blood of meek And we watch..... We watch as we cry bloody murder We protest as the cup spills further drunk on woe & sorrows, siphoning crimson red Yet our oppressors will perish by the strike of their own hand The earth would swallow them into its depth Binding the sword of their tongue Banishing the imprint of their presence Their empyreal nightmare Yet beyond the grave, our elysian Fields A crucifixion of fear Rises from ashes Out of flames In faceless violation Your arrows ricochet As always, I sovereign Buried beneath the avalanche of your own disarray The accusers, the tricksters Dead and alone You tyrants, you traitors, forsakers of life

Long before there was the word, there was the truth The veil of amnesia fell Dual archetypes spawned of separation Out of fear emerges a saviour outside ourselves A sacrificial lamb for the darkness that resides in the psyche of man Stirring fear and chaos False torch bearers, death dwellers in cloaks of ashen white Cult of deceit, masked in light As remembrance spreads like fire The heretics arise Born of flames so bright There was another, formed of the aether The old paradigm falls as the elders step foot on the soil. Wolves in sheep skins bow, baring fruits so foul War, War, War! Myths and distorted half truths, ammunition to confuse and control In war do they trust, the children of the new doctrine Pledging allegiance to the false idol of their cognitive construct Arms raised to the skies, awaiting triumphant arrival Only to see their own face Stirring fear and chaos False torch bearers, death dwellers in cloaks of ashen white Cult of deceit, masked in light As remembrance spreads like fire The heretics arise Enslaved by a delusion Stripped of virtue, left desolate....forsaken by I When the 'I' is found, I find you Atma आत्मा

This dark night of the soul All to familiar Those halls I dread to wander In cold solitude Impermeable material fortresses All I could scream could not move these walls A life spent in its entirety Possessed by its call Holographic are the webs we weave Hidden from common sight The dead end realms I create Only ends in ruins No one could convince me otherwise Such tangible evidence testament to the deceit of sight Truly I miss knowing what I once remembered Truly I miss seeing what sight fails to see You were given the gift of illusion, unknowingly Just so you could find peace In the silence, the truth always whispered You are alone, yet....you are never alone I am stranded So swallow me up into your void.....Your lie Unravelling webs, endless circles Are taunting me, emptying me In this barren wasteland I am Divided to pieces

It covers them in its bleakness, sinking beneath greying skin Curdled violent words....cursing with their breath as they speak rampantly anchoring its disease, a la mort They Dance on graves as Deranged martyrs march to the slaughter In one hand you offer the sun In the other clasp your choke-hold round my neck Just like the hydra cut off one head and another takes its place A hostage race The cult of inertia, stretched over eternities just like a plague Behold your culprit is the one staring back in the mirror token offerings that grip you to your enslavement speak not above your breath in condemnation the hand that feeds, also draws the blood of the servant In one hand they offer the sun In the other clasp a choke-hold round my neck Just like the hydra cut off one head and another takes its place Indoctrination, a ruthless form of oppression In secret A burial ground One for long forgotten dreams

Can you sense the storm coming? The rise of the morning star A baptism of flame Burning in transformation Your Apollyon The serpent of light quenches the thirst for knowledge A blazing radiance beyond macabre wager of war, bringer of doom Polymorphic....as gentle as dreadful Behold Kali Her pestilent storms Purifier.... Bring down the sun into eclipse Jar the phlegmatic into dismay Inner temples will be defiled Reverberating throughout the one Striking down the inner tyrant The unbeknownst passed chant in disharmonious tune An overture finale Eyes shrouded in grey, visions distort by mere interpretation Euphoric karmic flame Evil certainly lives here It’s encoded in the trees every branch and every leaf Cast your eyes to the wondrous curiosities Walk with ghosts And dreamers

Footprints imprinted on lurid terrain Gasping on the air, the thick stench of decay Frost bitten Hands My blood curdles, amidst sinister voices Tapping thoughts that plague a fragile mind Sending waves of anguish Why am I here? What do you want? The dead realm won’t let me go The gatekeeper holds a sign that Makes no sense at all My inner voice had betrayed me Luring me straight to my enemies This oppressive deceiver distorting my visions The buzzing of soulless boneless creatures Hatred builds in my weary heart So this is how the malevolent reign? For indeed my detestation and malice …are the same Quod est infernum Crawling in circles I can no longer stand Deception, insulting my soul I thought I’d found the light Then I remembered that lake in the desert Alas, my own words came back to haunt me Darkness pierced my very soul As kingdoms crumbled around me I lost my life, and you gave me another I beg to be pardoned Encase me in your cocoon Hidden away from this foul voice in the air Some long to remember, some sleep to forget

Upon my last breath, I inhale new life I am exulted Dancing across night skies I am free Mourn not, remember me I am not here, I do not sleep And then there was no-thing No form, just infinite void Silence stretched as vast a lifetime Yet as short as the pause of a breath Beyond flesh I embark Toward the grand ancestral hall The divine summons me Beckoning me across endless Celestial fields Unto immortal I see you Ghost in the water The skin that imitates life I see you, just as you were A quiet equilibrium Omnipresence I recall many names Many faces and places Motionless yet limitless this mortal coil from bones to dust In reverence I bow as I meet my maker From bones to dust Be not grieved Just Remember…

She was like fire Burning through anything crossing her path Drowning in tidal waves he was like water Devouring the blaze The kiss of sorrow A brick fortress built around her heart Woe cloaks her vision The perfection of his innocence Left her in suspense Of unnerving terror Scatter thee, on welkin soil The brightest fall hardest For they fly so high Dragging through the mud Their children siphon her spirit Her light was dimmed by those who ravage her flesh, the earth Like a hunter, Strikes at night The spear had been broken, Yet protruding from his heart The earth groans and trembles All creation, bowed to the dead A sombre hymn of severance All under the moon shifted A tomb of discord eternally dim, aglow is he The great divide, Mother Earth father Sky.

Are you so smug to proclaim that you embody only of light One who never would step foot in a lepers lair How can you claim to hear only the voice of god, without first facing the devil? I am a being of both the light and dark I travel along the outskirts, along the path of separateness & free will I hear the ones that whisper in solitude, in the tongue of the ancient familiar. My cells recognize your voice, summoning distant memories. You are another me. I am another you. The temporary vessel fails to show, the magnitude of what lies within. That which you seek, seeks you If ever there was an impostor, an opponent, a villain, a segregator, it's name would be ego. Know thy ego, know thyself. Because I give in, I am defeated by you. A hardening of the heart. A wall barricading my authenticity. My truth hidden beneath layers. Greater truths revealed. The bitterness of alienation oozes a poisonous venom Do you remember the mother breath on the wind? Overshadowed by the things that had died while you lived semantics to heavy a burden to bare Return to absence of duality Emerging from stagnant waters, putrid and vile beneath halo smiles Shrouding the repressed, and suffering in denial Do not so easily dismiss your demons

We are.....yet we are not Life is a dream, yet a tangible phenomenon Speaking the same language, in different tongues Not one word memorised, yet familiarly comprehended Unique fragments in the boundless ocean Moving simultaneously though the timeless matrix A multitude of ways of being Footsteps that ripple monumentally And the end is just another beginning Each devastation, a transformation Each death a rebirth in disguise The order amongst the chaos The calm amidst the storm held in the core words have no meaning the subtleties of silent speech The more the things change the more they stay the same The universe shaping itself to our vision And when we cease to breath, consciousness remains An endless cycle In perpetual motion
