There’s a shadow

Poking at my thigh

Trying to take attention

Away

From my mind

Not to reality

But somewhere unrefined

And Opposite of divine

Can you hear it call out

Sideways in time

Three different perspectives

Of the same scene

And

Their all upside down nines
The birthmark of Satan
a spherical star
Old curse in the distance
new devils at war  

His prophecy stolen
the markings of Cain
Madonna the ******
rebirth unattained

Melody of darkness
blasphemies hymn
The garden left burning
original sin

Tomorrow in mourning
this moment on fire
The lamb off the altar
—redemption expired

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)

I have spoken to diamonds

They have taught me their art

I’ve drank from their frequency

And to their world
I became a part

Sharing a thousand words
With
a thousand different jewels
And
They all spoke to me
Of your heart

Truly Adamas in nature

They say your gleam
Can be seen
From within dreams
Left ajar

I wandered with you
In these scenes

Becoming

Your falling star

Visits in my sleep

While you gazed upon me from afar

The sun dare impede
So I banished it
For you

Underneath
stars
I saw
Words fracture
And
Fuse

As

You crushed
a galaxy
In your hands
Just
So it may
Be born
A new

Released
from her inner keep
There
my night muse

Refining creation
To her hearts tune

You came to me
with waves upon waves of emotions

yet I couldn’t see through your sea

You told me to dive deeper
and
I might find something more than just me

But is that not the nature
of the ego-naut
to explore indefinitely

making a home
in a place
where a home shouldn’t be

Deeper down know I see
All is
We

I started writing
this poem for you
And
made it all about me
Ben Palomino Nov 2022
Unbecoming
just so I may
be
once again

I reach my hand
upwards
as if
I were to ascend

No wings
to break

So

No wings
to mend

While I soar
threw open
sky

I wonder
how many
ways
one can
open their eyes

I dragged

Duality down

A delicate

Deception

 

( lost I found myself dazed)

 

Face to face

With my youth

I was caught staring

At my misguided directions

 

(Surly to succumb to the maze)

 

For what these

Dreams demand

Go deeper

Than blood

Calf or correction

 

( to get out I had to be unmade)

 

Saying goodbye

To apart of my self

To gain

An ever evolving perception
