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
