The Shadow of an Illusion


In the temples of enigma I bowed before the God and master...that sacred suffering.

I offered my decadent soul in exchange for improbable possibilities...and a pain I knew would come.

I was a witness to the immolation.

But the reverence weighed heavy and the deity was undying.

I bartered for my soul.

As expiation for my iniquities, I was sentenced to obscurity, and all the stygian desire that inducted this divinity as my eternal consort begins its anguished departure.

It is all mine now: the emptiness, the vacuity and the void.

In defeated acceptance I salute this glacial affliction............


...........yet I still burn in the shadow of an illusion.

M,
"I was sentenced to obscurity, and all the stygian desire that inducted this divinity as my eternal consort begins its anguished departure"
Wow, i like the way you phrased
the recurrent self-imposed guilt
about desire.
you've got a poet inside you,
show her to us more often :)
