Heart Clock of Limerence

Energized by heart clock of limerence
to prove with anguish of my wounded heart
that I am loyal to Persephone,
I count each snowflake swirling at my face
from mirror mask of her innocent moon
as if they symbolize our mortal souls.

Excited by heart clock of limerence
to find the Emerald Tablet of Untime,
I follow moon-bright horse of tragic love
across vast Manitoba to the lake
where murdered lovers dance in Raven Wood
with bonds unbroken by cruel jealousy.

Vitalized by heart clock of limerence
to channel radio signals through my brain,
I chat with Manipogo about faith
that animates our bodies with desire
to live free from oppression of the state
by writing screenplay for our chosen fate.

Elated by heart clock of limerence
to study lives of creatures in the woods,
I dislodge holy word of arrogance
from pulsing monster of my hungry heart
that drives me to wade deep in lake of ghosts
where faces of blind strangers stare at me.

Enfranchised by heart clock of limerence
to clamber over river-polished stones,
I listen to relentless Water Song
discuss strange silence of obsessive pines
that dare me to hang blinking lights on them,
so I stack stones in walls of paradise.

Astounded by heart clock of limerence
to misinterpret songs mad angels sing,
I steal electric cows of brittleness
to bargain with Persephone for wealth
who commissions me to legislate love
since I contrive new tales from ancient lies.

Authorized by heart clock of limerence
to rebuild Herculaneum in glass,
I follow sweet Persephone through Hell
where she reveals strange mysteries of truth
about how atoms function to program
weird dreams that flash across my scattered mind.

Actualized by heart clock of limerence
to wield Voice of Vajra with honest hand,
I twirl bright thunderbolt with diamond eye
to battle demon of cathedral truth
who tries to crush my mind with clear insight,
but I laugh from in my tomb of tangled words.
