Paper Gods Of Faith

Strange silence between each word I never speak
that surges from vast underworld of fear
translates screech of the owl in lunar code
to snarky riddles car mechanics share
while they barbecue hamburgers with sauce
on moonlit beach for paper gods of faith.

Weird prophecies sealed in the Vatican
describe lake valley where glass horses play
hide and seek with heroic ghosts of fate
that pass through spirals of unmeasured air
with rainbow wings only children can see
who crayon-color paper gods of faith.

Athena plays the quantum flute of time
so flashing particles of mindless light
flow quick together in synchronous waves
which bloom as apples on the Giving Tree,
deceiving me to think I that I could live
in Heaven made by paper gods of faith.

When my soul swells huge as the sparkling lake,
where First Mother rose from liquid of hope,
I float blissfully aware of cruel greed
above vast maze of towers I dream real
so I can empty my star-hungry heart
long supported by paper gods of faith.

Intense emotion of buzzing phonelines
persists in contradiction I explore
between patient endurance of suffering
and frantic assertion of dominance,
wound tight with emptiness of honest words
outlined too well by paper gods of faith.

To play the quantum flute of chaos theory,
forever on globe of atomic words
when my reign begins the apocalypse,
I wear mask of my personality
captured by the photograph years before
that outlines play for paper gods of faith.

Entranced by wonder of this modern world,
vast city mazes of cathedral halls
where wizard of words deprograms the state
by singing childish folk songs long forgot,
I provision journey to Nowhere Land
where I hide cash in paper gods of faith.

Each time I realize with ironic faith
that gods suck energy from human souls,
I call you home across the distant plain
so we can share intimate hours of love
since devils and angels misunderstand jokes
stretched frail with love for paper gods of faith.
