Lucid Dreamin'
Stood atop Babel in frugal resplendence...
Triangulating estates in purposeful oblivion....
A magnum opus he sought..
Heavens bridged to the mortal lot...
Even as obscene avian gargoyles regurgitate
Undead strung from trees of self mutilation...
Pandemonium in Paradise.. Lucifer sovereign...
Stifled a dirge for his Duchy imagined....
Awoke reborn....Lucid dreamin’

Babel,Paradise,Leviathan,Ninth circle...
And you call yourself an atheist???
Or are you just skeptical?
Stood
Looking at the breach
Pensive
A Bridge to bridge mortals
Stunning
As lines and curves on papyrus
Take form on the three dimensional space
Empty space then
Marvellous creation now
Sheer brilliance!
Heil O Civil Engineer.
:D ;)
!!!!!!!
Babel - jus had to give the tower a name
Paradise - John Milton influence
Leviathan - influenced by a band called Endvra
Ninth Circle - Again Divine Comedy...
I was an atheist...then had a theological discussion with avi's dad who convinced me otherwise...so every now and then i question myself...
and i am not big on christianity...jus its symbolism
the whole thing is a retelling of an actual dream...i dreamt that i was atop a tower wondering what i was doing there and then my prof showed up followed by a group of undead children ..and then the dream turned to a nightmare with all those gargoyles taking flight...
fortunately i am a lucid dreamer...i remember my dreams vividly and had to write it down...
Wow!
Poetry or any piece of writing, particularly abstract gives out a lot of messages.
The reader takes in what he perceives and what he wants.
Happy dreaming!
Anyways Civil Engineers rock!
Could only see your poem tht way!
"I was an atheist...then had a theological discussion with avi's dad who convinced me otherwise...so every now and then"
"was"?!
"i question myself..."
It stops there?
and i am not big on christianity...jus its symbolism.
So in a way you believe that God exists.You just dont want to worship The Almighty.Is tht wht you r saying?
yeah thats the beauty of abstract writing...its like in that book SPHERE....everyone take in what they perceive and the writer doesnt have to think abt giving it form....irony is that thoughtless writing gives more food for thought...maybe civil engg was in my subconscious and thats why i had the dream...and it seeped through the membrane into the piece...
to me God is formless...the myths abt him only demean him/her/it/them/those...the basic question is how did the universe come about...what was there before the big bang...how did the big bang come about....trace it all the way back to its origin...man doesnt have it in him to perceive the trigger mechanism...so he goes about and invents religion as a metaphysical device (my first poem deals with it in detail)...to me God is the origin...I do not worship it...only marvel in it being the absolute and take a dip in a sea of tranquility...God as others call it is my time out...
