I've got a pitch... hope you have a ball !!!
By Ashteroth
A work inspired by Dropped Out Of Holey War
(subtitled- World at your feet)
In youthful daze proud princes
don pyrite crowns
freshly studded with zirconias
and in a blinding
display of arrogance
draw swords
and thrust thier points to
the the eyes of God
but alas they snare only affray for seemly
paradise
for omniscient eyes saw no point
but side stepped and
yelled the one decree
sonic boom pulses through creation
divine voice of infintie matter(s) hurtles to earth
smashing crystal
spheres
as too, the dellusions of angels
resonating with the
vibrations of every soul
they shift the spheres and tiers
of our conscious
cellestial kalidescopes are poetry in motion
converging on several themes
and mirrored in vast oceans
of
people .... so it seems
subtley and inticately woven
in
the material world of everyday living
which manufactures a thin
vale
we choose not to fully tear away
Instead we struggle
to put our fingers in our ears
and at the same time shake our fists
at the sky
because we heard the simple truth of that decree
"You
know who you are, why then forget who you ... could be"
Our
memories are indeed iffy
but never our origin
just sometimes
we get a little too cheeky
and end up a bit red faced also
Many times I've seen double vision
from the blows I receive
til wrath can easy divide my will completely
id
shaken I lose my id and feel left to just take a dive
So this day I aim to dive into your pearly harbor
where I find
you in the depths
clinging to the debris of saphire kingdoms torn
asunder
Now I speak in terms quite plain- for you
for
you once proded me to stir-
so now "I am" awake-
and inviting
you to follow
back up my opalescent stream of consciousness
until we both again stand on the shore-
collecting messages in
bottles
drifting by the by
while I pray my stratagems
do
not slip through my sticky fingers
I remember all is not lost,
we just need to revise our plan
within the jade walls of crumbled
bunkers
that are nestled deep beneath the structure of cognition
like a fortified city that the left hand bombards
with mortar shells
while the "right" hand slaps more mortar in the gap
lets
rebuild together
but when you put another brick in my wall
do
it not to create a barrier between us
but to edify me instead
Then I will take you in
and you will see your brother has
no glare-
though I do attempt to shine
that you may see the
reflection of a fathers love in me
Despite that I am truely pale
and at times sickly
for drafting the wine of the world so long
we all long to be amongst kin
and just sometimes sit in quiet
and since you have the same eyes as me
that is... the eyes to see
I ask you overlook my apathy and ignorance
Then if you also
have the ears to hear
you'll understand when I say
"thanks
for the violin-
and here is your kite"
lets just enjoy
each others presence
and take of these treasures with ease-
but
you may also go your own way....
should that be what you please ?/!
(Final note... I have been told in the past by a few ppl
from USA that the term "cheeky" was unclear to them, I guess this means
its only used in Aust unless I'm wrong again lol... but anyway it means
to be rude or a smart a$$. I guess coming from the phrase tongue in cheek.
Hope that makes sense)
Author's Note:
This is inspired by fallen from holy wars but it is for everyone as I truely believe in the intrinsic value in each of you.Comments on "I've got a pitch... hope you have a ball !!!"
