The Tessitura Of the Soul: Cthonian Canticle.(EP).


A cipher's ghost, a syntax unbegotten,
spills its vitriol on the scrim of sense.
Where fractals bleed and axioms have rotten,
and logic yields to stark indifference.
The fulcrum slips, the balance point unmade,
a helix spun from silence and decay.
The semaphore of meaning, long betrayed,
flashes its signals, and you turn away.
The engine idles, chewing on its gears,
a metronome of rust and coming blight.
Your own reflection answers all your fears,
a stranger mirrored in the fading light.
The narrative, a threadbare tapestry,
unravels in the wake of what you see.
II.
The carpus hums, a brittle, low report,
against the scrimshaw of the window pane.
A sudden shunt, a memory-wrought sport,
where ghost-blue rivers clot with saline pain.
The gnomon leans, a shadow in the rain,
its purpose lost in some forgotten hour.
To calculate the wreckage, not the gain,
the silent fall of every petaled flower.
And we, the keepers of a shattered clock,
wind up the spring, though time has come undone.
Each tick a scythe against the final shock,
as all the moments blur and cease to run.
The past, a fossil caught within the stone,
the future, dust that's scattered and is blown.
III.
A phylum of whispers, the softest sound,
the rustle of a truth you never found.
The glottal stop of an unspoken plea,
a cipher scrawled across a churning sea.
The kelvin rises, cold beyond belief,
a winter bloom, a paradox of grief.
The palimpsest of what you used to be,
lies scribbled over for a ghost to see.
The vesper bell, it tolls a silent call,
a monochrome of darkness on the wall.
The syzygy of self and other falls,
and disappears behind unnumbered walls.
So let the static fill the empty air,
and find no answer to your empty prayer.

The parallax of sorrow, sharp and deep,
A simulacrum where the shadows creep.
The cataleptic heart, a frozen drum,
Beats for a place where meaning will not come.
The liminal space, a vestibule of doubt,
Where phantom echoes weave themselves about.
A dialectic woven from the air,
A silent footnote to a silent prayer.

The seraphim of rust upon the gate,
A lexicon of things that came too late.
The hierophant of silence takes the stage,
And turns another hollow, empty page.
The diaphanous curtain of the rain,
Obscures the landscape of recurring pain.
An aporia of reason, cold and stark,
A blind man walking through a windowed dark.

A plangent chord, a dissonance of tone,
The residue of what was never known.
A calculus of absence, long and slow,
Where nascent certainties refuse to grow.
The gnostic fire, a flicker in the mind,
For truths the world is loath to ever find.
A taxonomy of breath, a single sigh,
Beneath the vastness of a hollow sky.

The scissored edge of light upon the floor,
A glyphic utterance you can't ignore.
The thaumaturge of memory performs,
A pageant of forgotten, ancient storms.
The circadian rhythm of the lost,
Remembers every hidden, buried cost.
The apotheosis of a whispered lie,
Beneath the ever-watching, glass-blown eye.

The chthonic rumble of a distant dream,
A subterranean, half-remembered stream.
The eidolon of self, a brittle glass,
Reflecting moments as they come to pass.
The penumbra of an almost-perfect thought,
A souvenir of battles left unfought.
The phantasmagoria of the years,
A muted echo to your silent tears.

The ephemera of time, a drifting motte,
Caught in the spindle of a cosmic knot.
The hypnopompic twilight of the day,
Where things you'd almost understood just fray.
The numinous shimmer of a passing glance,
A failed attempt at some forgotten dance.
A sempiternal promise, worn and thin,
The paper-skin of sorrows from within.

The paladin of sorrow, helmet-down,
Assumes the mantle of a ruined town.
The tessellated floor of shattered truth,
A mausoleum to a squandered youth.
The peripatetic sadness of the hour,
A sterile blossom, a forbidden flower.
The anamnesis of a broken vow,
The way you hold the memory now.

The demiurge of whispers, cold and deep,
Sows bitter seeds while all the senses sleep.
The horologium of regret, its hands,
Move over long-forgotten, empty lands.
The parallax of longing, sharp and vast,
A fleeting glimpse of something built to last.
The eidetic image of a broken face,
Suspended in a non-existent space.

The zephyr whispers, but the words are lost,
The final ledger of a fatal cost.
The chirograph of silence, finely penned,
The terminus of an imagined end.
The apotropaic gesture, half-awake,
Made for the sake of something you could break.
The omphalos of sorrow, hard and cold,
A story neither bought nor ever sold.

The sybarite of longing, soft and slow,
Feeds on the ache of things you used to know.
The antinomian logic of the heart,
Tears all your reasoned arguments apart.
The apothegm of loss, a simple phrase,
That chronicles the ruin of your days.
The metempsychosis of a fading light,
A final turning to an endless night.

The simulacrum of a former need,
Grows like a solitary, noxious weed.
The exegesis of a broken dream,
Explains the hollow nature of the stream.
The hermetic seal upon the broken past,
Holds firm against the promises you cast.
The sciamachy of moments, sharp and quick,
The final gambit of a failing trick.

The susurrus of dust, a whispered sigh,
Beneath the immemorial, patient sky.
The epiphenomenon of what you were,
A fleeting vapor, a forgotten blur.
The aetiology of a certain kind,
Of hopelessness, a prison of the mind.
The horripilation of a growing dread,
The echo of the words you never said.

The hypostatic union of despair,
And fragile hope, a breath of heavy air.
The telos of the coming, final day,
When all your careful structures fall away.
The prolegomenon to a final word,
An epitaph you never truly heard.
The paroxysm of a fading soul,
Loses its grip and loses all control.

The chiasmus of a life, reversed and strange,
The futile promise of a coming change.
The phosphenes that dance behind the eye,
A final, fragile, iridescent lie.
The solipsistic chamber of the mind,
The only world you'll ever hope to find.
The lacuna of the moment, cold and vast,
Between the present and the fading past.

The noctilucent shimmer of the moon,
Illuminates the coming, final noon.
The ataraxia of a world undone,
The quiet peace of battles lost and won.
The catachresis of a whispered name,
The final, dying flicker of the flame.
The anhedonia of a silent room,
A heavy scent of unforgiving gloom.

The hypogeum of a buried thought,
Reveals a treasure you had never sought.
The apophasis of what can't be said,
The silent, heavy burden of the dead.
The palinode of purpose, all erased,
A history that's been in haste defaced.
The dyspnoea of memory, catching breath,
Upon the precipice of coming death.

The chthonian murmur of the final breath,
A counterpoint to every broken myth.
The liminal space where nothing can take hold,
The final chapter of a story told.
The apocrypha of a forgotten soul,
Plays out a part and hopes to be made whole.
The aetiology of a failing grace,
Leaves nothing but a vacant, empty space.

The perigee of passion, at its least,
A final, whispered offering to the east.
The eschaton of every cherished end,
The truth that no one ever could pretend.
The pleroma of the void, a silent call,
The endless fall of nothing, after all.
The hermeneutics of a fallen star,
Explains the wreckage of exactly what you are.

The horologium of dust, a turning wheel,
Reminds you of the things you cannot feel.
The hypnopompic shudder of the soul,
Releases all the things that made you whole.
The nosology of shadows, long and deep,
Describes the secrets that the spirits keep.
The tessitura of a broken sound,
The final anthem on unhallowed ground.

The sciamachy of self, the shadow-fight,
Reveals the hollow nature of the light.
The phantasmagoric dance of fading might,
A final, brittle parody of night.
The anagnorisis of a coming fall,
The final answer to the empty call.
The sybaritic solace of the pain,
The only thing that ever will remain.

The parallax of memory, a broken view,
Of what was false and what was ever true.
The mimesis of silence, perfectly wrought,
A perfect copy of a final thought.
The ekphrasis of sorrow, etched and plain,
A final portrait in the falling rain.
The teleology of a final grief,
Explains the withering of every leaf.

The anamnesis of a broken trust,
A final statue crumbling into dust.
The demiurge of sorrow, cold and blind,
Leaves only echoes of a twisted mind.
The antinomian nature of the fall,
Explains the reason there was nothing there at all.
The apotropaic logic of the end,
A final purpose that you can't transcend.

The chirograph of chaos, scrawled and deep,
A covenant that no one meant to keep.
The zephyr moans a silent, fading sound,
Over the lonely, consecrated ground.
The eidolon of self, a broken ghost,
Remembers all the things that matter most.
The epiphenomenon of a coming dread,
The only promise that you're ever fed.

The hypostatic moment of the last,
When all the future disappears into the past.
The telos of the moment, hard and slow,
The final path you didn't want to go.
The perigee of silence, cold and vast,
The final image of a die that's cast.
The ataraxia of a hollow peace,
The final moment of a slow release.

The catachresis of a whispered name,
A final whisper of a dying game.
The anhedonia of the bitter end,
The only friend you ever could pretend.
The hypogeum of a buried might,
Sealed in a silence of eternal night.
The apophasis of an empty word,
The final message that is never heard.

The palimpsest of days, a worn-out page,
The final act upon a ruined stage.
The nosology of sorrow, sharp and deep,
A record of the promises you keep.
The tessitura of a lonely breath,
The fragile prelude to a final death.
The sciamachy of every final plea,
The only thing you ever hoped to see.

The phantasmagoria of fading light,
A final mockery of what was right.
The anagnorisis of a broken soul,
Loses its grip and loses all control.
The sybaritic solace of a final pain,
Washes the memory away like rain.
The parallax of purpose, all erased,
A final thought that's been in haste defaced.

The mimesis of a silent, final thought,
The fragile ending of a life you bought.
The ekphrasis of sorrow, etched and slow,
A portrait of the things you used to know.

A fragile message that is never heard.

Reflects the hollow nature of the light.

The gentle ending of your numbered days.
