The second poem, dedicated to an ambient artist. Comments, anyone ?

TANGE

Complex Silence II

silently

golden tubular bell

summoning eternity for sixty minutes


lines

have lost length

distance

disappeared


time

not gone

just unthorned

releases

scents for the aural eye


echoes infinite lazily stretch

towards no horizon but the very universe

of ourselves


'now we are infinite' another musician said

yet reverberation (in my own eyes)

alone could draw and draw out a space

without limits or void

absence as pharmakon

can bite

deep


this ringed space

attuned to the silent melody of the soul

golden peaceful

serene


resounds

across all the paths we take

once we grasp never let go of

the defining decision of

being alive

The first poem. Any comments are welcome !

Oöphoi & Tau Ceti

Archaic Oceans

translucent pink eerily roseate shell

washed ashore from time-forsaken oceans

ringing with the ur-melody

of worlds that fell

caked layered oblivion concealing

the once silt-free glory of citadels


what cannot have been

used to be


once

aeons before time came to signify

the Nameless City's towers reared so high

proud brows defying the sun


till fire from the sky

accelerated time and

the vanity of god-spurning magicians

roused the Devourer from sleep


only dirt and dust

remember

the opal splendour of palaces

the rose song of prayer

wafted on eversummer's wind
