The Prophet

 

I have tried everything,                          

                                   but no matter what I do  

     I cannot stop these                      

                            disconnected revelations                         

                                 from impinging themselves                         

                                 upon my mad and tormented mind. 

 

Pieces of my soul continue                           

                                  to be chopped up and converted                           

                                  into mental images.

Images      

          waiting to be translated                               

                                             into words.

Words      

          which my mouth has to utter,       

          and my hand has to write. 

 

I am a prophet.     

         A prophet without a God.                               

                                            A Godless Prophet.     

        A prophet of my own madness,                

                           of my own illusions. 

                                                          A mad Prophet.                                           

                                                          A mad Prophet.                   

 

...

  

 

Sanity revisited is dull and confining.                

 

     I burst in tears and yearn for                     

  

            the visions that put the universe                        

 

               at my fingertips.              

 

...

 

 

I am insignificant.

 

I am nothing   -

 

a hole in time,

 

a rip in space -

 

endless suffering.
