UNIVERSE


from the ABC set Gothic Poems

UNIVERSE

In ancient scrolls was written

That this globe

Became the light, the space wrapped tight

In golden robe.

A God withdrawing all the Whole,

And hiding it behind his ear;

So that this Universe,

A lone and tiny dew drop did appear.

An incantation and a spell,

Revealed the Word ,and then the ice,

Wakes up fulfilled from its white Hell,

Sweeping the world with frozen eyes.

The Primal fire, tossing flames

That burnt the core of iron mountains.

The waters, tears of the Seeing Eye,

Spreading Life from all the fountains.

God saw his fault,

Oh! Plunging fast into thin air.

Spinning images of happiness so fake...

Flaws everywhere.

In vain he tried

To put this 'perfect' world to sleep.

He drove Light, Life and Love ,

Unscathed into The Deep.

But in the end,enticed,

Another world came from the abyss.

God closed his eyes, estranged of love,

And moving on, left us with This.
