Solemn Sacrifice

By Riven Waker

You are truly so very beautiful
That I simply must kill you
Yet - fear not, my child
For the Eye will never die

I shall save your brain
For the emptyheaded clone
So that you may ever remain
In the memory you condoned

A willing partaker
Of ultimate sado-masochism
Truly sacrifice the body
For spiritual ascension

It is a shadowed path
Which leads us all
Winding down our wrath
Living the eternal wakes' pall

The continuum of flesh
Merely animated like dolls
The mind lives in only one
And for One all shall fall

Does the imagined lead to reality
Or is reality only banal
The fantasies of daring fiction
Shall grip the spirits of one and all

The future holds answers
Which few wish to hear
Bleeding dark dancers
Awash in black tears

A truly thought provoking write, "the continuum of flesh" a very unique line much like this whole poem. I enjoyed this, thanks.

This has an eerie vibe to it. I'll have to read it a few more times to savor it.
