Matrix Of Dreamless Souls

If Hate falls off the Cliff of Honesty
and floats unloved on undulating waves
of brute despair for growth of human minds,
we gather in lush mountain grove of faith
to share sad tales of tragic nonchalance
since Mindless Fate strikes down the arrogant.

With nimble fingers of perpetual pride
I strum taut strings on lyre of Mercury
to finetune melody of cosmic gears
which powers how spheres spiral among stars
in stellar machinery of mental hope
that spurs my quest to find the magic word.

If Love leaps up the Hill of Travesty
and swirls unfeared in stabilizing frame
of dexterous confidence in soul decay,
we scatter on the river shore of doubt
to hide happy tales of romantic zeal
since Mindful Fate lifts up the innocent.

With crippled legs of fleeting modesty
I twist loose threads on tapestry of Eris
to unravel matrix of dreamless souls
who crowd in panic on the river shore
and beg for Charon to escort them all
safe to the rugged hills of Arcady.

Sporadic laughter echoes down the hall
where studious ghosts read tales in tattered books
recording how they met their tragic ends
in clumsy accidents that Fortune plans,
which proves our rich lives are ephemeral
as mute dust scattered in blind wind of time.

Artificial intelligence contrives
slick package of plastic stereotypes
that mimics word games of robotic thoughts
which leads to uncanny vale of tears
manufactured by vampire god of faith
in psychic performance of false respect.

Though mute Pierrot with single leap of faith
falls in love with elegant Clementine,
she should seek asylum in Notre Dame
where white bear of salvation breaks the cross
which frees the people from creed of despair
to roast goat for feast of the sacrifice.

Human intelligence gathers evidence
that seem unrelated in scheme of things
till heartless ballerina conjugates
disparate elements through alchemy
to comprehensive vision of the truth
which includes every conscious soul alive.

Orpheus leaps off Cliff of Honesty to swim in swirling sea of memories till he remembers why Eurydice left him at the altar to marry Rodomont.
