Traced in Arcane Rime
Born – baptized in salt and sap
Snared – a hallowed skein of stars
Awakened – the halcyon dream dissolves
Forgotten – the void in silence calls
Comatose – a divine state
Ink and spear procreate
Frosted serif – hide crimes past
Opal illusion – in re-flec-tions of the ash
Decrepit slave to blind overlord
Rapture traced in arcane rime
Natural order catechized
Prostrate in static longing
By thy grace our pallor regained
“Nigh or now” – the truth’s the same
Sedating all with yellow grin
Crowned in knowledge – but forever robed in sin
I, on the precipice
Take a step in stagnate haze
Loosen my constricting grip
And cracked seeds fall from my fingers
Feed – pick bones clean
Silent ascension with body serene
Twisted locks and meal-ground teeth
Eternal unrest in a withered nest
Wisdom wanes with waxing pride
He falls from sense to conceit
Decrepit slave to blind overlord
Rapture traced in arcane rime
Rastro en Rima Arcana
Nacido - bautizado en sal y savia
Atrapado - una sagrada madeja de estrellas
Despertado - el sueño halcón se disuelve
Olvidado - el vacío en silencio llama
Comatoso - un estado divino
Tinta y lanza procrean
Serif helado - oculta crímenes pasados
Ilusión de ópalo - en re-fle-xiones de la ceniza
Esclavo decrépito de un señor ciego
Éxtasis rastreado en rima arcana
Orden natural catequizado
Postrado en anhelo estático
Por tu gracia nuestro palidecer recuperado
