Ghost Dance


Alabaster and crimson, an unearthly sunset
     Flowing across the land in Indigo hues
Shadows of deepest purple within which I find
     Chestnut eyes shine wild and pure

I lie upon the slope in the deepening shade
     Whispering death’s words of stony resolve
Stars dance the tarantella across the void
     Nets cast, die cast, mystery beckons

Screams slash pleasure ‘cross psyche and soul
     Beloved surrender, agony’s embrace
Voluntary victims, desire’s fiery fuel of flesh
     Spirits rage amid spreading carmine pools

Sacrificial Virgins race ‘cross the landscape
     Yielding to death’s words of stony resolve
Flames streak into oblivion across the sky
     Nets cast, die cast, mystery beckons

Grief shrouds the world in grey-black shades
     Hand in hand they cross River Styx
Voluntary victims, love’s relentless caress
     Spirits dance amid spreading carmine pools

Laughter ripples ‘cross the vale of legend
     Mocking death’s words of stony resolve
Existence trembles in Joy’s exuberant fist
     Nets cast, die cast, mystery beckons

Squeals and anguish, the crescent explodes
     Embracing the rush to joyous oblivion
Voluntary victims, life’s fertile ferocity
     Spirits love amid spreading carmine pools

Shadows merge in the deepening Indigo gloom
     Swallowing death’s words of stony resolve
Purple whispers call to one another in awakening
     Nets cast, die cast, mystery beckons

Pensive rustling scratches ‘cross the mottled hills
     Existence writ anew, chaotic declination
Voluntary victims, creation’s stubborn insistence
     Spirits entwine within spreading carmine pools

My mind wanders, shadows fill my thoughts of gloom
     Contemplating death’s words of stony resolve
Memory calls to memorial and memorial to death
     Nets cast, die cast, mystery beckons

Cacophony fills space and time, occupies the land
     Refrains of life and death, desire and becoming
Voluntary victims, mystery’s sublime expression
     Spirits the expression of spreading carmine pools

Alabaster and crimson, an unearthly sunset
     Flowing across the land in Indigo hues
Shadows of deepest purple within which I find
     Ghostly eyes shine wild and pure

I lie upon the slope in the deepening shade
     Whispering death’s words of stony resolve
Stars dance the tarantella across the void
     Nets cast, die cast, mystery beckons
