Ascendance

 

It was one of those nights

When lunar wombs

Became pregnant

With the words of distant stars


And gray matter preached

Of the existence of an

Inter/Inner planetary fire

That burns


Into ashes

That I blow

Away into infinity

Causing the birth

Of a new universe


As I tap the cigarette ash

Into the ashtray

I wonder


Does this then make me God

This power over life and death

 

Though this life and that death

May only be my own

  3. Your words are always beautiful and inspiring but I don’t feel that you filtered the passion inside of you the way you could. You speak of words transcending space and time, your words powerful yet asinine 😛 it feels like a contradiction. And that’s the whole point. Life is a contradiction, we are all powerful yet not at all. We are ashes and we are form. I think that you have a start and you need to dive deeper into what you are trying to convay. 🙂
