Beast of Riddles, Monster of Light

Aeons and shadows exhaling a dismembered nimbus Driven against the current A riddle for rivers I am a bright storm Blood soaked, distorted and ghost-like Dimensions pulled down by oblivion Forever in awe Reaching beyond the sun Grasping putrid air The monster of light steps forward Dissolving into scarlet rain Gnawing shadows scream Blessed by the body of time the inanimate kingdom of the self crumbles into dust This weeping dawn Wide open Receiving a grand collapse Absorbing bliss And in between raindrops time stands still in a short moment of a pointless infinity dying daily Forever

These shadows gnaw In themselves Feasting on stars Secreting the dust of time The drums sound from the horizon The beast of riddles The monster of light All approaching the infinite void A liquid vortex The great zero gape I stand frozen Amidst aeons and shadows reaching the frontier Embracing the membrane of bliss Soaked in the blood of being my hands are tied forever in yearning I didn’t solve the riddles I am no beast Nor a shadow or a noise I move like the wind through the grass I am a silence The monster of light I carry the dimensions These burdens are mine A red storm blows Calling my name I sought serenity and a warfare of minds I found a silence Unbearable yet beautiful

Absorbed by rain Consumed by clouds It rises triumphant The white monolith of age Ripped from the ugly realm of a glorious death I greet the slumber of beetles and the silence of owls I see the Earth rejoice in the coming of hail The powersphere of the herd ruptured by time And still I stand frozen in time, in space and in bliss Like the silent movement of wind Like the element’s sigh of confusion I breathe upon the monolith My name carved in its flesh I see a star falling in between the birth of insects Silence breaks into rapture Silence breaks into rapture Silence breaks into rapture Forever dwelling in bliss
