IO
Before my eyes rises

O Helios, protector of

Thou Eheyah, Lord of
Light
My staff and strength
and right.
Tzaddi
Imra is my guardian
She my threshold keeper
Bear with, and stand
before me,
The Lord of Eheyah is
my lord of Life.
Imrum
My daughters bled their
wedding
Blood for Judah and its
Christ
Restore the tide of former
years
And set the lineage right.
Timmum
Sprayed upon our foreheads
Is the mark of Cain again

Psalm
II
Blessed be, and blessed

O Weeper of misfortune
End the endlessness of
Time
And give our children
wine.
He is root, he Vine,
his rod a comfort to the wicked
We are sinners all, and
unforgiven
Shorn and weak, we come
into Thy presence

of Asher,
House of Dan.
I strike my staff upon

The Lion is in summer
Rage the Tiger on the

My love remembered as
acute
She clove me,
Ere the battle had been

I must find her way to

So many battles fought,
and lost, O Zeus
But shorn I went, unto
your Altar
Singer of the Homeroi
Warrior, and fallen temple
priest
Favor me with fortune
So that I might serve
you best.
Chthonios, thou Ruler
of the World
I went to Rapha and was
heard
But his cupidity struck
at my back
And lures me to the field
When will I be welcome
at your Window
When will I be freed
from all this pain?
I must be yoked to Heras
favored sons
I will not bow, a prisoner
Nor compromised by challenges
to peace
I will deliver them to
you
Do with them what You
will.

Bind

Bind my ways O Eheyah
Grant me consolation
for the days
My fallen house, my fallen
brethren
Torn from wombs they
could not breach
My milk is wasted on
these children
My grain is wasted on
the kine
But look upon them all
with mercy
For my love is Josephs,
blind
Loved, they will not
pass from me
My love for them is wilted
on the Vine.
My sacrifice is made
complete
So let there be a Temple
Rise before their feet.
Grant an end to weeping,
O Eheyah
Hear my plea, O Jacob
For thou art struck from
Josephs womb
Hear me, children of
the Ladder
The Nephilim are harder
fought
And faster.

Tenth Labors Love Lost
And so Christiane, the
daughter of the Holy One
Went on the day of Wrath
to Raphael
And spoke in a loud voice,
and said
I would wish my vengeance
be satisfied
But the world will by
this learn little
Of the mercy of the Lord.
They believe themselves
in mercy, merciless
And righteous on the
pose of righteousless
They cannot know the
wrath they seek
Is senseless, and will
not slake
The appetite for Sun
Let this battle be unwon
And I not here to punish
but to sing
And long they labored,
just to hear me sing
Let this song of Ancient
Wrath
Be now
Unsung.

And let them stay afraid
With their wives, or

And let their souls be
spared.
For each who hides the
shameful wound
Let all be seen to see
The hanging noose that
rings their nose
As bulls are wont to

And only I and Numen

At harvest on the Lea
And only two of us remembered
When the Ocean sank the

Miltons
Confession
Lord, I have been too
full of Puritans
To love you purely
I have been too shorn
of love
To see her love as holy
With Thee I always meant
to live
A nun, devoute and pure
But wilted on the Vine,
I could not live
And be demure
For Love of Thee I hated
and
Was bound to Thy decree
For Hate cannot engender
Faith
Where Love was meant
to bee
My wife, my termagant,
my love
Would never cleave to
me
And so in passion took
by force
And broke Her into Three
There will never bee
excuse
For such a one as Me
I beg to be unworthy
But still you wait for
me.

Howsoever I am wont to

Regardless of the time

I have ever been this

In reward for freedom
bought with sacrifice unspoken
All I need is flowing
from my poem
All I love is granted
me again
And all that was destroyed
by death
Is given me again, unbroken
It is as though my life
is granted to me once again, unlived
All mistakes unmade
And all that remains
of that unlived life
Is that I lie awake at
night afraid
Were that this little
maid inside my mind be unafraid!
My love, O love in terror,
How can I protect you
from the life that passes now behind?
How can I purge the terror
from your undermind?
Lord, I plead with Thee
To take the child that
now clings to me
Enwrap her in the Love
that will not end.

The

Ah
These women
How do they reflect the
beauty that lies imprisoned in my wild love?
How can they know that
my desire is buried deep
Inside the womb they
have not opened
Grant them light so they
may find the love
They do not know they
seek
As Luna rules their night.
Unrepentant
Brief, unchallenged night
Ruled by She the unrepentant
Foreign bride
She is mine entire
She waits for me with
unrepentant ire
Pain will be my portion
if I fail
And love will be rewarded
as I serve and slowly hail
She is mine, and pledged
to me entire
She is Beauty in the
searing bright of fire.
Samuels Son
Davids harp lies
mute
Though once again the
March resounded
Much was done in that
brief space of solitude
Much inspired
His march resounded as
it does whenever Michael sings
Plays though David touches
not the strings
Let the world lay still
as Michael sings!
Oh though I grieve
For lands beneath the
realm of ragged cloth
There is no sorrow left
upon the land
For she is freed
For though I bled for
wounds unhealed,
Unscarred, she is rejoicing
in the temple
How can I grieve when
victory is won
How shall our challenge
be unsung
Why should I weep when
Death is overcome?
40
40 more or 40 less could
matter
Yet less I speak the
more will conscience come
Scald me wakeful, Yahweh,
for I am cold in sin
Wake me cruel so we may
sooner win.
My goal is all.
Yet 40 more will greet
me if I fall.
Give me over to the will
of All
And let the 40 waken
when you call.
Greet Me
Greet me well and modestly
I am nothing to the will
of Thee, Almighty
Mercy on the one who
wakes to soon to be made worthy
Mercy on the ones who
wake with me.
Mercy on my cold beloved,
hiding in his Tree
Mercy on the self-fulfilled
in doomed and shadow land.
Providence on those whose
theft of me gave rise to anger,
Willingness on those
who bargain free.
For we are full
This land was far too
empty before now
Before our birth laid
claim to Thy decree
For we are full and mighty
now, O Lord
Oh Lord of Life and Love
We await the fury of
Thy Call.
They await the thunder
and the hail of madness then
We await the mercy of
the All.
Let the cantors wait
until we call.
58 were. 58 are now.
58. 58. 58.
She comes undone
.
As I pen the letters
of my epic
She comes undone
And presses me against
the tides of madness
Doth she not know that
she is ever mine thou ever mad
Doth she not see the
love we might have had?
I am thrust into a shame
I can not bear
Yet must
She is chained as Myrrha
was
Unto the lust of Zeus
My crime is plain for
all the world to see
My passion is the blight
upon her tree.
John Milton
Upon the contemplation
of his solitude and the causes of same
1643 Evensong
23 September
In the empty
hall of Lawrence Lord Essex (long may he stay in London)
In nominatum probitur
The
Passions of Man
(As told to the author)
Concupiscence:
"Oh bleed the iniquity
from out my flesh
For I am found unworthy
Let my rage be spent
on somethinge spended grate
The penalty for concupiscence
must be high
To make me so enflamed
Tear the freedom from
my very eyes that I be blind to her
So that all my passions
will be sooner blind
I do not bleed despite
my prayer
And goes unanswered this
my devils need."
Were they unprotestant
These would be Confession
Were I but priest to
lay shrive upon them
But I am wicked much
as He
I am slave to witness
the unfree.

The everlasting twilight

Into the crimson dark
The moon was past the

And somewhere neath

The child wept, the tears
were washed away by rain
And I was conquered by
the pain of his lament.
He will soon be free
But how long will I remain
Communicant for those
who fight
Again to die
In parodies of pain
Broken on the wheel of
ignorant misfortune;
This is the cruelty of

Unrelieved by autumns
cooling rain.

Willowed down below,
blasted far above,
Here will not be found
soft death.
The measurement of seasons
has begun
And we are raised
Each moment of our retrograde
Is praised.
Once were three, and
now are three begun
In worship in the light
of Praise
But none are sung.
This day of Three has
not in truth, begun.
We are engaged,
As all without, the world
has grown enraged.

Our
Passion Met
Our passion met the limit
of our flesh
And grew
And so, enflamed, we
grew and meshed
And could not meet anew
We grew enflamed.
Love, cannot my love
be born in you afresh?
Why do you ache to breathe
me into you?
Why goes unslaked the
passion that awakes
Anew, anew
And sleeps within, to
grasp my weary flesh?
I cannot fulfill this
endless lust,
But try I will, but cease
at last, I must.

We
Fly
As far as death has flung
us from the Infinite
We fly
And toss our crowding
madnesses
Into the cloudless sky.
The world is come unglued
As far as we can cast
ourselves
Before the holy rood
We sanctify Your reign.
And we will live again
Below the storm material
Among the fruited plains
All we have is harvested
in rain.
Will none believe we
grew our love in pain?
To throw forgiveness
to the wind
To love ourselves again
It matters not
For twice while four
the clock is torn in twain.

My
Wife
How long I loved her,
bright and dark
My wife undone, my life
unloved
Yet could not please
her, nor her rudeness sparked
The horror of her aching
dark.
Oh death pursued her
through her night
And long she lusted for
my pain
We slake the beast but
sooner does the beast return again
I still pursue, though
she is lost to light.
My love, I pray, return
to me
Be heaven-born, be ever
free
And long I pled, she
will not be
And so undone, she flees
from me.
Though I am well, I am
not whole
Without the true companion
soul

Eros
13
She was my wild love
Unbridled and uncaring
Tempted by the fullest
fate, uncaring
Did I take temptation
then
Oh yes, for I would take
temptation then!
For she was full of rapturous
delight
And she was eager for
the finest of my goods
She lay with me, and
stole my greater light
Enraptured by the fever
of her night.
My pleasured love, unending
My death of consciousness
How could I care, for
naught was all forgotten?
In the hideous incitement
of her moods.
I lay with Eros, and
was lost within her Wood.

When I am the face of
ugliness
And greedy is my sole
intent
I fall, and in the falling
am upend
There I seek the willingness
to mend.

Stone
and Silence
The stones that fell
from outer sky
Brought fever to the
world below
So far unknown, the wholly
blest
Were carriers of wretchedness.
O Alien and cold, these
conscienceless
Within the broiling ocean
Ceased to stir the froth
of brine
And murmured from below.
Captured by the light
Divine
They swept their conquest
clean
And leading from the
choir loft
Their Host was Byzantine.
Release the Host, thou
Lord of Life
And break the mold of
Pichas
Send the wretched back
to Light
And free the human home.

This was the day of breaking
through.
All the life before the
bleeding life began
Came with me from that
room
Now I know the Headsman
And well I know the Warden
They have marked my face
in blood
And never would my soul
release
The power that was
Never theirs to take,
but mine
And now I claim, by right
Divine
The power of the Light
regained,
Forever Thine.
I will not be light denied
For even though each
day, I died
The power of the Word
survived.
Bright
and Fair
And oh,
As far as we were flung
from Love in discord,
As brutal as the war
between us raged
We were met
And come together whole
My love and I, we were
engaged.
And though as loud and
terrible
As Florestan has danced
upon
The worlds unholy
stage
Eusebius is laughing
And the Emperor is laughing
For the world is bright
and fair
And She has smiled upon
me, bright and fair
And all the world
Is brightened by the
Air.

Thirty
Days
Thirty days ago
The Trumpet blast was
heard
And all has fallen flat
Before Thy word.
And thirty days ago,
I see
I penned today a date
And called I forth the
Lion
As the Profligate decreed.
And Oh, the waste!
I run among the billowed
storm
As though I have been
chased
All blood is thin as
water
And the moment is erased.
I bleed for Thee, as
long I lived
Executrix for those who
wait
I feel the pang of leadership
As long I wait to lead.
Is today the day I lead?
I would not care to
Yet I have placed myself
at liberty
And freed I am to sorrow.
And how should I be freed?
I cannot say and yet
I plead
Let freedom come by joy
And not be violence.
We cannot have both scholarship
And rest.
How I longed to rest!
The end has not yet come
To end my test.
On the day of
release from Sorrow

Why
dost thou weep?
Pain has been my portion
every day
And now the rain is come
My weeping has at length
begun
And fear has lighted
on this empty page.
How will she rage?
For she would rage until
my death
If I would let her
Oh my weeping one, when
wilt Thou be assuaged?
How can poetry contain
Thy holy rage?
Perhaps you wish to weep
My love, my brutal wife
If you would cry, and
once at least,
To sleep
Let me come to you,
And let your rages keep.

In
the Kingdom of the Air
I seek the Light
Prophet of the day before
Tomorrow
It is time we ended all
our Sin
It is time the speaking
of the Lie is ceased.
It is time the Angel
blasts a tone
To sound the Tone of
silence
Prolegomenon to Thy decree
Yet I cannot cease myself.
I pray You give surcease
to Me.

Soon it will be time
to wake again and resume.
Oh my love,
The cries that greet
me now are
Not of gladness, but
of pain
Why must we set this
fevered course
