Open the Gate

by Nix   Nov 3, 2007


We''ll meet the gallows
under torrid sky,
we'll encounter monsters
which are reflections of our actions, maybe;
but attraction to the depths of volcano
and charisma of the waters in which we swim
are enough to charm the soul,
to connect the lights of outer world
in the frame of abstract magician's dimensions.

Completely lost, we dance
through the labyrinth, in the garden of music;
on the brink of the worlds we kneel,
kissing beautiful goddess, we dream.
Patterns on skin guide us,
we sell our souls to the Devil
just to, through the bars
stare in wonders sculptured by imagination.
We steal emeralds from nymph's neck.

The universe is embodied,
warrant announced;
it's certain- we'll meet the gallows,
under torrid sky;
yet, we don't care-
we'll watch the fire
and live through every flame,
and avidly we drink from the store of inspiration,
hugging red-eyed creatures, we dream.

Please, open the gate
for the last time,
I want to fly through the expanses of unknown;
we hide sanity somewhere where we won't look,
and again, celebrate coming home,
absorb energy of the words
which she restlessly repeated;
phantoms are in our eyes, stunningly divine...
... so alluring is walking above the clouds,
while we throw away the torches...

    This is my favorite part of the poem, it is excellently written, with magical imagery and strong, clear message. Whole picture that you portrayed here is completely stunning.

    The second stanza is also great, except the line -We steal emeralds from nymph's neck.
    it somehow ruins whole flawless flow of that part for me.
    The third stanza is excellent, the repetition in it from the first stanza is quite effective and captivating, except the last two lines which disconnect sense of the whole part of the poem for me.
    The last stanza has its ups and downs, but the two ending lines are quite powerful and alluring.
    All in all, good poem.
