First Light Machine

Iron red filaments
Flow, amongst fire
Shining their exceptional
Glow –
Of desire.

Evil.
Within us –
Surrounding our creativity
Breaking our genius
Darkening our souls
It’s only power
Given –
By our free will.

Evaporate >>

 

Remaining, striations
Of unstructured, dust
Creates, then destroys
Its parabolic –
Of thrust.

Forging, our endless bright shine
Beaming, from a lights ancient blend
Breaking, from our past of decline
Preventing our now, from its then

Reclaiming, our dark shorn design
Receiving, a signal to send
We flow a old light of new hope
From a path, to a past, that ascends

Amid, our flash soul worn divine
Of a now, which we now comprehend
A forever, comes rupturing through
Through a rapture, of what now, can transcend.

A denied understanding
Relies on betrayal
As a lie that’s demanding
Implies –
How we fail.

A dynamical history
A reduction, of form
A continued collusion
Through abduction, by storm.
