Burnt Passion
~by St.Ego
My maiden was born in the flames of my desire
She kindled them and she was
the spark
And as my fire spread, it consumed all she was
All she remains
is the smoke from my flame
She drifts ever from me
Her beauty rests in her
form and her substance
I can see her but she eludes my touch
She is a wisp
of a thing and her existence mocks me
Soon she becomes but a part of the air
about me
Ever taunting and but a peice of all the fires I’ve burned
And
when she is gone I am left with her ashes as memories
These memories are
fragile yet soft and become nothing to my fingers
Now and again the smoke
becomes thick and irritates my eyes to tears
But it is easily cleared, always
leaving room for another flame.
Deceptions
~by St.Ego
Trade in kind
With guilt and lies
With blindness cursed
And hollow
cries
Led astray
When ego’s dawn
The mind awakens
The soul is
gone
The truth uncertain
The secret told
Your lies are hollow
The
tale unfolds
Awake in tears
Your cries of pain
You’re all alone
And
want in vain
The eyes that watch
The hand that holds
The heart that
knows
The lies unfold
And now you see
Try not to stare
Despite your
lies
He doesn’t care.
Floodland, Bk II
~by St.Ego
Like a scream of light it was held forth
By desparate hands
That tore it
free to ease the pain
A soul re-forged of broken promises
The waters
churned in uneasy submission
He rides the weather
The wind is his
voice
Of stone is his will
His soul, the floodland tide
And over all is
the fire,
His temple
Upon the ruins of all that is lost
He
stands
Offering sacrament and salvation
As he sends out the wind
To
call home all the children.
Let It Be
~by St.Ego
Maybe it’s just the same to you
Or if I’m not there, let me know
I’d like
to care, to understand
But I don’t, just leave me alone
I see your tears
but do not ask
What hardship makes you cry
I do not want the tears to
flow
I do not want to be told why
Do not look into my soul
Uninvited
and a stranger
Let be the pain unknown
Let be uncertain anger
Do not
push the luck ungeussed at
Do not surmise my mind
It’s not a pleasant land
to walk in
Leaving all your hope behind
Madness leaves the mind to
wander
Lonely, frightened, and forlorn
Insanity, a blessed
wonder
Bereft of love, unborn
Let it all reside in wonder
Let it all
become a lie
Let it be, the only sorrow
Letting all the wonder die.
Lust
~by St.Ego
Sometimes I think I hate you
But then I realize it’s just an unfulfilled
dream
To hate you would be too easy, cheap
I can sit and realize I’ve been
thinking about you forever
But it was only minutes ago that I tasted your
lips
And these few minutes have lasted an eternity
I make the waiting
linger forever, unable to let go
I do this rather than hope because I
know
I can never again have you
To hope would sour my memories
and
render them as insubstantial as dreams
But I know you and I were
there, alone
cradled in the tender arms of night
And I know that I ended
this because
I did not deserve it
If I hunger for you forever, it will be
worth more
than shaming you again with my hopeless words
I may, some day,
be worth you, but I do not forsee
such ecstasy
I will always yearn for
your embrace but I am content
in my depravity
It was wrong for me to have
you and it always will be.
Candles
~by St.Ego
Lakes of wax
A flood of sin
the warm caress
Of burning chastity
As
those above
Purge the wicked
And send down
The impure
To
collect
And to die...
Exodus
~by St.Ego
In the end there will be nothing
Nothing left to burn
In the end, the
flame's extinguished
Drowned in the floodland's churn
Somewhere on the Ark
that's vanished
Noah sails again
Somewhere in the water's churning
Noah
rides again
On a ship that's gone
On an ocean vanished
You and I will
drown
The end is near
The flame's extinguished
God is coming
down
He'll sear your soul
And raze your mind
He'll leave you nothing,
child
God will come
And take your soul
Bereft of sin and undefiled.
Icarus
~by St.Ego
Far too often have I been subject to the
Fall
And every time I come too close to the sun
I am stripped of my
wings.
I hear your voice telling me of the warmth
that awaits
somewhere deep inside.
And with trembling voice & tears, I ask
do not
let it burn these wings away.
I am nothing if I cannot fly.
Luminous Damnation
~by St.Ego
Not consumed by hellish blaze
Not blinded by a holy daze
But enlightened
with revealing light
Of hell's resplendant spite
Hatred of deceptive
faith
That shines on knowledge burning bright.
O Lord, Why Hast I Forsaken Thou
~by St.Ego
It's not enough to suffer angels,
martyrs, saints, and fools
You've got to
understand your hatred,
pity, fear, and other tools
No one ever said it's
easy
No one ever said it's fair
Taken under wing my children
These
simple truths I have to share
In the guise of faith and mercy
Prophets
tend to goad your soul
Hidden underneath denial
Lies a sacred truth you
hold
Belief in everything that's holy
Comforts those who fear to
see
Open eyes sealed shut by others
The light is plain, your soul is
free
Fettered by the chains of worship
Sermons preached on books of
God
Heresy at war with blindness
Breaking from the path they plod
Watch
the lambs go to the slaughter
Facing not what lies inside
They can't see
the world around them
Clinging to the lies they hide.
