Universal Beach Of Solitude

Folding my heart in gramophone of hope,
I become wild swirl of wordless sea waves
in vain attempt to reconcile my fear
with anxious honesty of awful truth
that keeps me circling my own private spot
on universal beach of solitude.

Wrapping my heart in peelings of the orange,
I disappear in swirls of morning mist,
happy to erase my face from the world
as mindless waves erase my faint footsteps
so all traces of my existence vanish
on universal beach of solitude.

Burying my heart in shifting sands of time,
I wear corrupted mask of victimhood
to solicit sympathy from blind gods
who mock my pain with silence of the wind
as I stumble randomly without hope
on universal beach of solitude.

Tracking my heart with seismograph of love,
I quake with hate for monsters of despair
that devour frightened people of my tribe
who could not run fast enough over sand
to escape sharp teeth of their hostile rage
on universal beach of solitude.

Hiding my heart in cavern of illusions,
I watch shadows of demons on the wall
writhe with horrible happiness of fate
till I grip jagged metal wand of light
and run screaming to attack monstrous fear
on universal beach of solitude.

Mapping my heart with raven quill of faith,
I track my journey to the Promised Land,
Egyptia to Arabia to Persia to India,
ten thousand generations of lost souls
forever hunting demons of despair
on universal beach of solitude.

Trapping my heart with proverbs of control,
I confirm my soul with reins of the law
my father designs to help me perceive
demons of danger before they attack
so I can evade monster of despair
on universal beach of solitude.

Building my heart in temple of the feast,
I keep walking toward grave of fate I dig
to roast demon I killed on altar stone
and feed five thousand people steak and wine
while wearing the demon skull as my crown
on universal beach of solitude.

Orpheus finds Neptunus wearing fish skull as crown while he presides as pope on the flat-top pyramid of power while people dance and praise his name.
