Caliginous

Caliginous is an esoteric, expressionistic poem in secundus paeon tetrameter dedicated to black metal. This is a track from a poetry album I released on Bandcamp called Moonlight.

Here is the poem.

Caliginous

Caliginous empyrean
envelopes all biology;
Celestial and hauntingly –
with emptiness it permeates.
And likened to the countless
worlds whose shining stars
it constellates,
The eventide eternally
supports our whole
chronology.

The heartlessness
of mortal men,
whose troublesome acuity,
Engenders them, with
fearsomeness –
deliberately ignorant,
Atrocities of hatred, with
the burdens of their violent
Ferocities of carelessness;
it’s born of their vacuity.

As winter and obscurity –
the pale and the obsidian,
The essence whose frigidity
and bleakness has its clarity,
Enraptures with cacophonous,
tumultuous serenity,
Their hearts are then
encircled with the coils
of the ophidian.
