Will she arise like the evening star? To set alight the morning on a distant world God drinks alone tonight, and I hope these petty prayers May quench his thirst once more. The emptiness of the cosmos lies on a distant shore If she may travel through the astral plane And quell the null of multiple tangent galaxies Then quell the thirst of an absent Goddess The vacuum of space contains the silence That mourns for the loss of light She says to me that she perceives The colliding of rogue stars as a memory Of the night before the vacancy of time As if the entirety of this existence Can be summated in the beliefs Of a thousand zealots and deities Whom drink the wine poured over The rotting flesh raping the periphery It is merely human that she desire life eternal And God is merely a human construct created to delude her We have set forth our own demise With resonating thoughts of existence... Yet an imminent suicide... To force an awakening of the emptiness inside her... I hold hands with the dead As God places the noose around my neck

Embrace the cold and dark universe That we may be the ashes of life Lost in the eternal sea of consciousness Set adrift on embers of a starless continent You are the love found amongst aether Colliding with the material of the Earth As a shadow of the mortal gods Submerged in a flood of winter wine No flame can quell the cold remnant skin As her soul departs the flesh in which I left An asterism carved into her heart The beauty of the stars is hers. She constantly returns to primal form In lingering memories of timeless night To ignite the bitter flame in my heart And drive the suicidal tendencies until I may so quickly depart

One morning I set out Alone to adore The glory of the flesh Amidst snow white stars I thirst for nothing more Than to drink the celestial ocean Where my ethereal body lies Submerged under rippling tides Of starless heavens where I may See the eyes of god Collide with mine I linger in my grave A soul may abhor The edge of this world Engages with the stars Everything dies my love Even these dirty hands of mine Even this calloused flesh of mine Even the nebula and stars do die Even this bitter heart of mine Even this memory of mine Even these tears evaporate in time Even this remnant love of mine Even god is lost to the night Even god dies... And all else with him...

Sample from Carl Sagan, "Cosmos" - "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood, spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that in glory and in triumph they can become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings. How eager they are to kill one another. How fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely spec in the great enveloping cosmic dark."

Love me as I rest in a bed of Roses as I lie naked in the Doorway drifting off to sleep or waking To a new life dreaming that I Can escape into the darkened night sky With the light of a fire burning The wicker grave where I lie stargazing Love me as I look into your eyes Quiet as the shoreline returning To the edge of a floating world be- hind my eyes drinking liquor with her Christ In petty chapel pews vomiting the Porcelain lies confided in burning Embers of a child left sinking In the river under the world Love me in the morning after The excited body wanes into the after- Life as a new creation takes the place of God and my flesh in unison create the Endless sphere where you only exist for a Moment then drift and are placed upon my naked Body underwater and we may float to another Dawning world to drink another Love me for a moment (baby I'm tired) Can't you fucking hear my words protruding Through the depressed dirt where I linger With the footprints of a gypsy universe Examining my corpse for gold and trinkets Of meaningless nothing since we're dead and sinking Exhausted waste in a bottle of brandy That god is drinking as we're left naked, swimming...

I dream of your skin Alluding to the end Quiet in my arms And as beautiful as its ever been. And as I rose from the ash I grabbed your hand... As I swore to you before the empty world That I may love you even now... And we can together watch everything end.
9.
A midnight escape Into a thousand galaxies Of shining dreams Memories of yesterdays Linger on my lips Where yours were once Before the day sunk Into my bleak hearts abyss I dream to be surrounded by you You’ll hear me whisper, "You're locked inside my heart and you'll never escape." Then so suddenly, The sound of a symphony will break the darkness Heavy eyes waking Startled by such an endearing voice "I would never want to escape from such a prison." You replied composed, in return Forgotten that you lay beside me In this wonderful reverie We will some day witness to be A future full of memories Waiting for us to see.

With my arms Like a cage The oceans breeze Seeps between My hearts chords Are strummed With the wind Quietly, but in motion Drifting through The astral plane Next to you On heavens wind Close your eyes The galaxy fades to dead night Twilight masks the horizon And we are entwined tonight Dance naked In front of the celestial world In blindness Watch as everything dies And everything changes the same And cries from its stagnation Whats the difference between life and death in this place? Take my hand For this moment Whisper soft As it all ends And I'll follow you And I'll follow you...
11.
I burn at the stake In a dream Next to you I can't wait Till it all ends tonight And we're swept away Dream of me (Fall asleep) In your arms (Take my hand) One more time (One more time) Hold me tight (Never let go) Let it all end (Together) With this final escape. To heaven and beyond I drift through your heart The ocean sweeps through Passing us by as we dance on the moon

There is a darkened shadow on the wall As I kiss the portrait by my side You are as a ghost Tonight we are shadows All is silent... In the vastness of space tonight Empty words and worlds Collide with The view of your eyes Like constellations... Drifting beyond all is calm In the sad hands of god I am naked and cold My feet dangle in the ocean The grave lies below... Wake up for a moment and find that you are burning alive Than hope in that moment you were never alive.
14.
Kiss me once more As my mind drifts away With a chalice in my hand Everything, everything will fade away. I see your beautiful smile Once more in the rain Amidst snow white fog I wished to follow... I saw the world for many long years I've walked through valleys and on mountains I lost sight of every beautiful thing As you were taken away from me I kissed your cold hands I felt your dry flesh I see no reason for me to be here This is the end...
