Tarot Reading

Sword of Damocles,
Looming out of sight,
Capricious, magnificent might,
The merciless scythe, immortality’s disease.

Storm of colors mixed of life,
Daggers of envy and spite,
Around our necks ropes of strife,
Minds usurped by hallow blight.

Collecting names for deathly tome,
Reign of horror, swirling aporia,
Dancing in the flames of our new Rome,
Riding on nouveau wings, feathered euphoria.

My irresistible planet,
Chasing you with kindred tides,
Silver moons, golden suns our conduit,
Callous fate instigating riptides.

Calamity harbored by porous hearts,
Daggers licking blood from past,
Refracting shadows through the quartz,
Into new future we have trespassed.

Grab the handle,
Claim the sword defying gravity,
On mystical string,
And take onerous swing,
At the cruel heart of destiny.
