Confession #2 |
---|
after the war, the war
between the armies of me
I was crushed
completely destroyed
the only survivor: me
and from this I emerged
sullied in the blood of my desires
sodden in the soot of the fires
that burnt the fields of me,
filthy from the business
of self destruction
god construction
a dark lord with no subjects
and thus I ruled secure
with an iron hand
over the vast emptiness
of myself, an empire of death
for many an aeon
and one half of a lifetime
in the darkness of my making
the obstinacy of my solitude
but all along, I must confess
even unbeknownst to me
I carried the seeds of desire
the unquenchable, indestructible
wanting that started the war
and thus I failed
having ultimately fought a war
that couldn't be won
and no recourse
is now left for me
but to allow the flowering
of these yearnings
to let these blossom to fruit
producing the apple
I am to offer to god
