Flash Of Mental Equilibrium

Behind the veil of laughter my soul wears
bees gather sorrows to brew honey tears
which poison angels with communal hope
that apple trees will teach us how to cope
with urgent passion of the need to know
how seeds transform into the mental crow.

Since language blinds our eyes to what is real,
we disentangle concepts we should feel
concealed in books that only gods can read
in psychic riddles that compose our creed
which guides our actions to destroy the world
in preparation for the cosmic herald.

I row wood boat across the mirror lake
to find if Saturnus is yet awake,
but black cat lurks where scarlet roses bloom
in moonlit garden where I taste tart gloom
thick with perfume of poppies in the air
that proves my vow to always show I care.

Together on wood patio after rain
we build great kingdoms because life is vain,
late-summer evening breeze of broken walls
through extirpation of communist halls,
so I row ferry into swirling mist
to find fruit tree where Adam and Eve kissed.

I wake up with no chance to start anew
before the priest declares my crime is true,
so I ride eagle of America
to find crumbling temple in Attica
where I children of my enterprising soul
are eager to perform angelic role.

Lost innocence of lovers binds their hands
with firm commitment to guard fertile lands
where homeless immigrants escaping war
get jobs stocking shelves in the grocery store
because the cleaning lady runs the state,
whose humble mop still calculates our fate.

I read the ancient book of fairy tales
that falls into my hands when terror fails
to recommend song of the nightingale
that sings in pastoral setting of the vale
where honest farmer milks the sacred cow
though his son plays King of the Golden Bough.

Through flash of mental equilibrium
I map lush meadows of Elysium
to find small temple in weird Orphic cave
where I join the global ruling enclave
as shadow king in secret government
which I rule with Astarian Testament.
