Religious Slaughter (Free verse) by Beyond_Dreams
An apostle of literature sleeps
eyes closed; dreaming of water ways
with a splash of crimson delight.
His eyes flutter; awakened to falling Abremon,
A tumulus ocean branches out grasping
the searing rays; ode to the sun.
Silver riches shine beneath the seas
of parallel complexes; a skull sits
bastardized, fallen from the heat.
But it's not the skull of the trying
hand reaching towards a goal.
Fallen from grace with scorched
wings; abandoned by the ocean breeze.
Servants slaughter sheep to the
howling of the moon strips of wool
starlings moving as they fall.
Beneath the iridescent river skies.
The air is full and heavy.
Icarus would be proud.
A star lit sparkled sky outlined
in feathers and wax; one for religion dies.
Prayers of Agnostic combated Christian
scrap yard metal wreckages;
tapping on the window to the soul,
the religious caucus pendulum
swaying to and fro...
