    Past The Gates And Graves

    Upon entering Osiris' annex
    One perspires high in sweet spirals.
    Suddenly black fever turns ash
    Amid the fiery foliage,
    While psychotic sonnets resound softly
    Sending signs on a secret wind.

    Above owls arc on eclipses
    Consoling robed companions
    Who dictate Diana's Deed
    As Elysium Initiates
    Hand alone may pen.

    Here roads unravel longingly
    Like notes leading
    Towards enshrinement,
    Amid sculpted symphonies
    Exalted in orchestration.

    Tall timber towers stand as silent virtue.
    Arched below lies an armless angel's cove.
    Like children who forgot how to play,
    They weep dry tears with catatonic cries.

    As the sun bows to the night
    The sky bleeds plum and violet,
    Enraptured with silhouettes
    Of dancing horned minstrels.
    With flute and drum
    They prance past the gates and graves,
    Where death hums toneless
    While the Celts harp a lively melody.

    Much appreciated!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
