I. Father 17:49
To test the lion in its cage Or to tempt the Titan’s rage He’s my firstborn The apple’s seed is slow But the bounty that will grow It’s the sky torn On the castles we have made Where the dust and ashes laid It’s my own blood. When my flesh becomes cage And my hands can end the age He’s my own son

II. Mother 13:10
Gaze of the Eye casting doubt Seed germinated in black earth drought Rusty chainmail linkage tethered From within the blows are weathered Torrents rushing until slack tide Salt forming in riverbeds now dried Grounded to the forest floor Malice forged in metal ore Flickering embers stoked within, Flames forming a calloused skin The wisping wind knows no bound, Heaving heavy breaths the final sound
3.
Through gates of unfolding darkness Light of life is seen Springing of the soul’s starkness Revolution supreme The soul of fire that men seek Imperfection in a flower A fruit of Eden at its peak The blooming well of power A child born, a fate to scorn Our father’s bear our scars From leaves of green, the future seen From amidst the stars Stop, just one time Atop, crowns that chime Warmth nearing Frost disappearing Alloy caste in flame Tides to reclaim Blue and green music Therapeutic acoustic. Bellfound tower’s poise Clarity from the noise

IV. Son 12:44
I hold within your destruction Narcissus guided by seduction Here--I, below the reflecting pool Reducing men to a pawned tool Vines overgrown on the marble tomb Four Horsemen ride, escorts of doom Naked bones layer the earth Sullen cheeks devoid of mirth I am going home I am fallen from grace He carries my own blood He is of my own flesh The scarlet rose in full bloom Hope springs eternal in the womb Strands of sinew now torn Lord of the swelling swarm Begotten, I shall not want Our patina’d masks now gaunt Spires erected within death throes, Teeming with souls the River Styx flows
