ether asunder


envisioned through a fathom deep within a heart of wonder
ebbing fragments of a universe devoured, drowned us under
dark reality, bleak webs of ether suns in blank decay
maybe never, dead forever, maybe now was yesterday

bled enchanted, wed with antics of our morrows gone awry
blackened magic, shadows tragic to the lights that blind our eyes
hallowed sin, please god forgive us for we’ve swallowed you in faith
while we’ve wanted, always wandered by the divine gardens’ way

spiraling in age, and scattered helplessly about
when we’ve finished, e’er diminished
dare we slip into an out
from the Eden of a miser, we’d be wiser but to linger
with a widow of the winter
sorrow-spinner, wizened wizard

sewer children, baked in earth and ever-youthful in their years
innate denizens ubiquitous throughout the nether spheres
play with curiosity’s imperiled haven of pretension
aware that nowhere lies forever, the disinfinite dimension

encompassed by their fate, their mire, the spires of their doubt
when they’ve withered, e’er dithered
they’ll stay humble and devout
within the fields of Elysium, with merciful gods’ euthanasia
but eternity lies a vestige
of the transience of assuasion

lost, invalid cosmic fathoms
struck to earth by comet bandits
stained as monuments, as atoms
of celestial disenchantment

and where the tides pull heaven under
may we marvel, may we wonder
as such spectral tales forever show
ethers broken asunder
