Dance With Faceless Girl

Faceless Girl in old crumbling castle tower
asks me if I would steal for her the flower
that God uses to create galaxies
so she can generate genetic keys
that transform bodies of fish into gods,
but I stare at statue of Venus that nods.

When I escape confusing maze of Hell,
I shall return to Castle Arundel
to dance with Faceless Girl in swirling mist
beneath the pear tree of our secret tryst
till she is shrouded in the glow of fame
so she vanishes in code of her name.

Dressed in long white gown of immortal light,
Faceless Girl reveals the secret of flight
when she holds my hand with sweet tenderness
while we wait on Bridge of Forgetfulness
for spark that ignites the new civil war
over who controls the grand temple door.

Aware that we are souls in mortal flesh
that vanish at unraveling of its mesh,
Faceless Girl retrieves from Cave of Lies
oneiroscope that enhances our eyes
so we can perceive atoms of the mind
that weave matrix of the brain love designed.

Groping for salvation through purple haze,
we help each other transcend the next phase
in evolution of the social game
to organize passion in the tale frame
programmed to channel energy of hope
within our more productive mental scope.

Corrupted by blinding greed of the weak,
I climb beyond pain to ascend the peak
from which I see pure roundness of our world
which transforms me into the cosmic herald
so I return to maze of city streets
with scripture inspired by wise paracletes.

Entirely awake in vast glow of time,
Faceless Girl on ocean shore of thought rhyme
regrets no surging cataract of faith
that fills her body with soul of the wraith
who lingers long on Earth in words she sings
which sprout from my sore heart as angel wings.

Palming her calloused hands in reverent prayer,
Faceless Girl in white lace dress by oak chair
walks slowly among flowers by the pool
to kiss my mouth because I am her fool,
then she transforms into statue of stone
who stands ten thousand years in rain alone.
