“Lie unto me, sweet tomorrow, a gifted portrait displaying my baptism…framed in alabaster and ivory, one simply coded pearl like, thus pure
Sing unto me Eros, the tales of those that art elated, by these waters that have been separated, and there so parted by he who is perfection
Aurelius, where are we to venture to…where must I die in order to fit a wishful resurrection…that I may, and might embrace the white ash
Majestically, soulfully among the avian creatures blessing my repentance;..Angelic art those doves ascending unto earth
To anoint this shameful life of mine, for so it has been although, as so it shall never be again… the hymns belong to angels is what I hear”
With a bit of fear I uttered these words while trudging along these phoenician lands, yet Aurelius spoke, and, in a way comforted me, saying..
“Think not dear Erebus of your tribulations thereby, of your transgressions. Only walk, yes, walk towards the southeast…towards the open sea
Where the dead and the living submit themselves unto the waters that Moses had seen from across Memphis, a shadow to the city of God
There we will walk as pharaohs to embrace the kemetic arts, tied to ancient philosophies…bridging the serpent Nile to an abandon Eden
All for you divine deviation, all for your beloved reincarnation…herald more so by the constellation quoting a destiny inked in devotion,”
Therefore, whispering us closer were the magi,…heeded high priest sacrificed unto the goddess Isis found murmuring obscenities
Wandering aimlessly, hereto, seemingly forever unconsciously within the valley of kings…mummified we stood amongst a garden bejeweled
Scattered therein its streets glammed tides attributing to gold and my soul gilded, set forth to be a sinners tribute, the threshold anointed
Unto Amen did we uprightly pray and properly create altars for….etched so templed thusly, triangled with a polyhedron, dimensional form
I, Erebus to cry out
“Lord, Lord, there is no other sacrament in which I can offer unto you, aside from my disingenuous soul, my blighted spirit
And more the more my brimstone blood that bleeds cryogenically inside my veins…loveless is the score of my life
A genesis so called upon through fire and the sword, hereto the reflection containing thy setting suns relaying justly a need for more
More was I to let go of, yet more is what I yearn for… barring a marrow with her by my side, and us blessed by your unwavering grace”
The revelations I dreamed dearly about, sat within a serpent’s eye…the pinnacle pertaining to my baptism stood, henceforth glorified
Without thoughts of peril I walked out into the open sea, where the waters were hued in black and red, with blood and obsidian they gleamed
Eastward I faced as the sun arose willfully eyeing the intrepid heart of Eden as Osiris whispered guidance encompassing a watery grave
To be renewed…to forsaken the forsaken, to be unbound from my father as to proclaim another…for that reason I dared to drown
Thereupon, as I arose as the sun and as a soul reborn, I uttered religiously “Holy Holy”…the moon shifted while craving hellions, howled
The daybreak broke the shadows among the land…I inhaled forever and ever flooded my veins with the holy waters
Aurelius took back to an angelic, human form, proceeding to applaud my transcendence having guile amongst his eyes
“Unto the father we give our praise to” Aurelius spoke
I gave a smile with thoughts of Eurus lingering within my mind…Every particle of life seemed so clear, and I walked out of the dead sea, alive
A great fowl then descended from the heavens carrying with it the white flames forged in the city of God…subsequently anoint was I with fire
Accordingly, halos appeared above the heads of three, anon adjacent dimensionally, Regalia, Aurelius’s spear appeared within his right hand
“You are now and shall be forever a “Son Of God” the holy spirit spoke “ Ergo all of your duties to the lord shall be branded upon thy heart
No longer is self or ego we are all one, hence one is all… praises to our father the beginning and end…the ebb and tide…forever and ever
Keep to the faith for he is with us always –
“And what of Eurus” I abruptly asked
“You will fulfill the duties that art there upon your heart, and you will give faith unto the Lord God… you are now a servant unto the Almighty
Speak not of your own desires, or wants, nor wishes…Humble thyself reawoken child…blessings will the father give” – the spirit continued
“ NO! ” I shouted with a great fever in my voice… “ I gave myself unto God, but I abided by my own freewill”
“ Freewill?” Aurelius inquired “A bit naive young whelping”
“Lucifer knows to well of “freewill” and look at what has become of him…That road you have forsaken to be here, in the grace of divine order
There is no refusal, the die has been cast…all is occurring to his will, all shall be done…in heaven, and, in earth.”
Regalia sparked with white lighting as I professed “this holds sentiments of a bastille, and, in essence is evil” jaded stone became my heart
However, this was relayed unto me “Evil is what your father satan presents” Aurelius sneered, stating “ No, dear young one this is…Divinity”
Gilt to encode the sky, henceforth so flooded the sun unto the land and I, lonesome in despair was forced to see a biblical light
Thy ignis to burn, thy opal that gleams…
To be Continued…
