I tasted the universe
A sensation like
Hot black wax
Caressing my tongue
Into a smooth, sensuous burn
Hardening into a barrier on my soft flesh
So that it felt like a stranger on my lips

I came
Shattering into shards
That eagerly separated into a hyper conscious haze
…Longing to be unaware of each other…
(Yet the monolith remains)
 
And
We
Are…
 Forever reshaping the universe with clouds of eternal thought.

(And the consciousness is maddening)
I know…

After my destruction
I recreated myself
Calling the remains by name
I was reborn

 It was then, in my sober euphoria ,I became drunk with the stars
And felt the crustaceans crawling beneath my skin
As they etched words beneath the scars
"Just don’t let the lioness in"

The scorpions stung only for a moment, as they weaved into a protective (and provocative) shell around my body.

With new eyes
I recognized what was once unknown to me

I devoured countless minds

Leaving me satiated
And famished…

Allow yourself to be consumed by your habitual existence, and you will never taste the universe. Expand your mind, and you may find yourself in beautiful stitches.

So please...

Taste
Digest
Release

And…
Create

You.Are.God

There are too many favourite lines here to quote..my fav: 'allow yourself to be consumed by your habitual existance and you will never taste the universe'. That line equates to the choice of being awakened to live or being left mute to what is going on around you and 'die'. Not normally my style of poetry but you have definately caught my eye with this one....xx

This reads like some mythical voyage into innerspace where you find yourself by letting go. I loved it, great ride.

Very poetic and deep indeed. I loved your use of words without spinning the images attached to them. Thanks for the read. ~T

You conveyed this message so much more elegantly than I ever could and with so much more depth. Oh, how I wish I could put this on my wall of favorites. I'll sit here and marvel for a while. Such beautiful monstrocity...leaves me wondering if it should be a sin to feel this clear-headed...so unpure. Fucking epic piece, an unstoppable flow of words and energy.

monster bash of poetry; taking rebirth as a firestarting platform to burn once more in hypnotic flames...every sentence spoke of desire, passion and intellect without any means of forcefulness or pseudo-cleverness. Absolute ripper!
