Degraded to Mortals (free) 09:19
Cast from aught and set ablaze Wrought from larvae into gods Elder beings clutch and mould A demiurge host to be the great Lying aloft the radiant blaze of stars' welkin in clusters lost The youngers' zeal births a plot from crescent lewdness to grow sway And in arrogant defiance Rise to face their makers Who look down and thus sentence Corrupted mind-haze A lingering grace Withers and fades Father's of greed -Fall into sleep Degraded to mortals in a quivering gust Fallen from grace Back into dust
2.
The Rotten Waste (free) 10:23
A waning moon brings forth a dewless dawn Creep the rays of light throughout the sky Reaching the clouds and stars with it's grasp Dims the night, celestial passerby The roar of an ancient god, flaming beyond mounds and spires and ruins of old Summons waves of blistering heat, sears thru the landscape as ancient forebode Reek the weak that lurk in the dark Feeble the creatures that hide from the light Colour and splendour, disease and decaying, Shrieking and ringing and crawling insane, Rabbles exotic to stranger gods praying, Jumbles of odour that stifle the brain.* Ruins forgotten and wreckage and bane Echoes of voices that hide in the shades Ruins forgotten and wreckage and bane In the rotten waste only the charioteer rides *["The Cats", H.P. Lovecraft]

A Philosopher's Crown (free) 06:23
Lone in the meadows A wind stirs the laurel trees where two springs await Waters of wisdom flow down the silent streams of rivers of yore remembrance's bound to the drink from the Mnemonic source of arrogance In my hands I raise the waters from the Lethe and a sip I take The laughter of the Naiades I hear, swirling as I'm washed and wiped Ephemeral the threads of liquid that escape my grasp - as ideas depart. Careless, epicene. My wreath's woven by thoughts, Crowned by naught I am

Obnubilum (free) 14:16
Sleep doth greet with open gates to the dreamer when the skies' the stars amiss he who soughtes for their companie As dawn fades them from the heavens Past the portal of the fleshes to welkin's empyrean sanctuaries Seeds of songs unsung blossom in the wanderer's ears and the hallowed invitation comes deep from a labyrinth Wash'd by wonder heads the dreamer where the unknown music leads ___ Who are you, who are like clouds? Of veering form, vaporous shape Clad in the light of a thousand gems Twist'd as thorns and oaken boughs Nos sumus radices et vos rami, fructus viventis oculi, et nos umbra in illo fuimus Twelve gates in an hexaedric choros a maze of polyhedra bent into hyperboles, in defiance to the threads of matter a bathos to reality in it's pathetic form The unresting piping calls forth madness Awoken from depths of the mind A host of voices of awful majesty redeem the sane from he who hearken O homo fragilis, et cinis cineris, et putredo putredinis Tenebrae te obnubilant, (nos) eas purgemus! Assuescendum est tibi umbris. Oh thou monstrous being, of vulgar light that casts ill shades Curst be your debauched plane thy tongue of vernacular craze Aspere est contra carnem pugnare noli reniti tenebris! vide proin flectere animum Quare tam flebilis es contra hunc insanum deum? eius in aulis ganit obscura scientia animus Oh most glorious being, of pristine birth My gaze's no longer clouded by the shades and when the mind is raped and flesh decays what's left but to look up, meet your gaze embrace the folly as reason fades And arise in rapture et exstasi oriris summas ad aulas [Excerpts in Latin from Hildegard von Bingen's Ordo Virtutum.
