Sunset Hypnos

from The Kiss of Spirit and Flesh by Leafblade

about

Tell me, great near star, as I wonder
At thy jewels, before the night -
What unseen spheres around thy distant cousins wheel,
Drowned in their celestial light?

From "Rhetoric For That Invisible"
(“Before the Morrow”, 1996, by Sean Jude)

lyrics

I hear a sweet calling, a fanfare in fire;
I’m deafened by bleeding, the tolling of lust.

Where day sings its farewell, slashes the skies;
Stabbed by the moon spell;
Broken, deranged.

The fray of the sunset, lays crimson the folds
Of mackerel night sky
Smouldering low -

A purple horizon, a roasting red flame
Burns with a madness
And calls a name:

I’ll turn away, to her flame-washed eyes,
The burning, in those coral-mad skies -
Sears the heart, embers the moon…
I’ll turn away! My Child, be soon!

I hear a sweet calling, a fanfare in fire;
I’m deafened by bleeding, the tolling of lust.

I could drown in your sweet blood,
The dawn never see -
All beauty and horror…forever laugh…

The fray of the sunset has captured my soul;
I’m anchored to fire
With smouldering bones;

I’ll be the bird spirit, feathered for dream,
Or the longest of sleeps,
Away, soft, away!

I’ll turn away, to her flame washed eyes,
The burning, in those coral-mad skies…
Sears the heart, embers the moon…
I’ll turn away! My Child, be soon!
