The Promise of Fever

In the beginning

Rimmed with wind and storm

A great black wrath of infinite math

Spat snarling into formAnd there was heaven

Lit up with precious stones

Each one could fall but for the rule

Of faith and love and stronger thronesAnd therein rose vast wonders

Affections to be seen

Fathered from the plundered

Reflections of a dreamFogging into nightmare

For him whose place was set

With wayward stars that absent, marred

All creation with theirIn the beginning

Bewinged and ringed with dawn

This favoured Avatar, enthralled

Swansongs from those that thronged this shoreWith Gabriel and Michael

He shone with fierce intent

For loyalty, their joy to see

Him spur the hymns to heavenFrom the sculptured lips of seraphim

Whom fate then cruelly rent

Wtih sleight-fingered strains of harmony

Each note to grim portentAs grinnning nimbus gathered

Over spires arabesque

For Him that blazed with holy praise

That for a jealous God was meantShining Feriluce

Lustrous scourge of fallen spirits

Basked in glory, flew

To lakes in sacred altitudesSweet haunting music swathed the breeze

With curling tongues that lapped His lead

As through thick mountain mist

He wandered cursed with thoughts adriftHe paused to draught forbidden streams

That whispered siren promises

To drown His thirst

For sports amissThese waters held secrets

Liked raped Russian dolls

Wherein evil and good

Tore His soul for controlAnd drunk with the verse of desire's first words

The weight of the universe

Slunk in rehearsedHorror in numbers too great to discern

The rotting of worlds to the conqueror worm

And love a rare orchid so fragile in bloom

Espied gasping breath under dark-sheeted moonsShining Feriluce

Reflected in a jaded mirror

Climbing from the noose

Of time in divine servitudeAnd thus a strange new melody

Of will and wanton fantasies

Whetted by the veiled, seen

Danced from His ashen lipsIn red dawn scores, the silver scream

Of truth and Her deleted scenes

Was taken up as far it seemed

As God His words eclipsedThose waters hid visions

Like butchers in war

Perverting the course

Of life's blood evermoreIn the beginning

Skinned well with gibbous tones

Of countenance and ignorance

In equal measures sewnA marbled arc of Angels

Sworn to the morning star

Shared His pride and deep inside

Felt chill shadows sweep their cards
