Some poetry of mine:

Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral · June 23rd, 2004, 04:31 AM

The Sublime...

harpies pull against this current,
tendrals befoul still darkened waters,
sinking, the ship keels toward the north,
down and into depths untold, deeper than heaven.

God is in this liquid, he drowns and baptised,
raises his fist to smash us to splinters,
sublime unnatural, so beautiful -
the devestation and the aftermath.

Into the pitch black and below,
all that came before diluted,
the enslaved devour their captors,
none of them will see heaven -

None of us can ever see heaven.

Atrocity so seductive,
to be damned for a millenia more,
Eden is lost admist a crashing tidal tantrum.
Nature swallows that which gods cannot.

Deafened by bellows of beasts,
the carrion is ripe,
humanity rots in the sun,
a dissolution of eternity -
trickles away in the blinking of an eye.

The great eye closes,
turns away,
and we are forgotten,
like so much dust, and so many dreams.

*applauds*

Lovely. Depressing, yes, but lovely. Now write me one.

Pretty please?

With Horlicks on top?

Theres a mystic sea or horlicks beyond the unicorn,
where stand Ullyses sipping Ribina with James Joyce,
a golden bridge beckons beyond a golden gate,
honey soaked rapture, Li strums her golden lyre.

Caelestia · June 23rd, 2004, 06:08 AM

That was bloody awesome. It has a sea of Horlicks and a unicorn. I'm deeply touched. Thank you, darling :')

Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral · June 23rd, 2004, 06:14 AM

I think i may have singled handly killed the literary crow, and Joyce with that.
