Ruby Star
(from my book At the Gates of Night , Blocos Ed., 2003)
© Dalva Agne Lynch
I belong to nothing and no one.
I am insane, demented, wild.
Who can - or wish - to contain the wind?
Or the whispers of Babalon...
My hair falls on my face
covering eyes that see a world
with which I find no connection.
And so I forge.
My hands hold created images
that project themselves against the background
and become more real than the background.
Pictures in red and black and azure
where figures are mere sketches
against the colors of the Infinite.
Ruby stars against the green
thrown in shouts and whispers
burning all around me.
Verses patterned in words
bodies and spirits
filling the ethereal realm beyond my fingers.
In this realm reigns a vast and dark being
who gave me his phallus to procreate.
Í will procreate, my love - for him
not for you...
And notwithstanding the world around me
I perceive the power of that Cross I glimpse
when I shout for Therion
and the ruby rose to it intertwined
as red as my pulsating blood,
Someday we will forget each other, you and I
on the montain that beckons me.
I will follow, with no links to this side of the Abyss,
to be disolved in darkness
and it will only remain from you
the demented words of those my poems.
And so I recreate the world, my love,
as I wait.
