IOT218 9+3 is 11

Florescent archangels with 93 voices
Painted in pastels and neon-display
Clown-face leering in a border-land, fearing
that a morbid clan of mute-ants
Have aeons to stay
In a shame-ber of deserts and a desert of luck
Where the peasantry crows for a wedding to fuck
each other and another sky-raper falls in debris.
This desert and its queen are made of fallen cities
The archangel wanted,- no, wanted no wanting
And in wanting, her demeanour lit from yellow to sallow
Then to pitch-black purple and back to a scar
standing white upon the alms, did they bless your birth?
I was left within a nest made of nothing, not earth,
of the lurking fluro-queen
who takes what he will
Takes what he kills when he's wasted on pills
And vomiting his queenly splendour onto a child
That child was me and ended everything inside
It started to remerge under the stark neon glare
Neon-grey like the sound of thunder rumbling despair
Or a pattern ov astaroth in morbid Las Vegan
territories where a haven is a rope and a chair.
There passed to my right this display of the plants
And it lasted for a night just like the flaying of jesus
when he would not concurr that the temple was him
But he denied not the fact that an ending was near.
And it appears, now the moleules have left the synapse what a dream
Did I have? when the thunder-bells clapped
Was it real, did the angel truly answer my call
and then its gone, leaving here, now
All shall fall.​

Written when in a DMTrance.

...oto ?

 

[stonerfromohio]

Deep man I greatly enjoyed that

 

[New]

I'm sensing a strong theme expressed uniquely in each of your poems. It's interesting to see these kinds of pieces in Words.

 

[swilow]

^There either drug inspired or thelemic/magickally inspired (also, Satans got my back in this one :D)

...oto ?

No OTO, IOT- Illuminaries of Thanteros....useful imagery.

 

[izzy66]

I understood. I meant -are you active in OTO?

 

[swilow]

^No, not active, interested though

 

[Mehm]

this reminds me of fearing and loathing. interesting read

 

[izzy66]

"No, not active, interested though"

there's probably a camp, oasis, or lodge close to wherever you live. if you would like to attend Gnostic Mass, you would be welcomed although sometimes Mass is open to members only.
if you have questions, feel free to pm me.

^I'm more interested in the magick then I am the actual organisation. My experience with organised religions has left me with a lot to desire Theres an OTO lodge near where I am living (Melb. Australia) but I don't really like the hierachical structure....

So I guess when I say "i'm interested", its more a personal interest rather then one I want to ritualise to heavily. That said, do what thou wilt shall be the Whole of The Law

Sounds like one hell of a trance-journey you went on. I like how you've captured the intensity of the imagery.

'Las Vegan' : I'm guessing you're using this as an adjectival form of 'Las Vegas', or is it also a passing reference to the vegan cafe/restaurant? Considering you're in Melbourne, I thought it could be a bit of both?

 

[swilow]

^No, it was an adjectival use of 'Las Vegas', don't think I know the restaurant....Thanks fr your comments

 

[(Wordy)]

Las Vegan rocks... highly recommended! (whether you're vegan, vego, omni... whatever)

 

[izzy66]

"My experience with organised religions has left me with a lot to desire"

I totally agree.
I don't belong to any herd and thankfully was not forced to participate as a kid. however, I have attended many spiritual rituals as an interested observer, Gnostic Mass being just one. didn't mean you should go sign up. not at all.
keep writing. your work is very interesting.
