B Ballad (A Possession in Astral Tongue)




Looking down, I see myself
transitioning from nestled sleep to endless dream

At first I search for the glowing
path…when suddenly a stunning realization
stammers forth it’s surreal flood

Observations stir, until, the form awakes…but you stay adrift
not returning to your shell…and yet, you watch, as it functions still

Following in-flux you float about
staggering the summits with watchful eyes…understanding completely, you haven’t died, you’re alive, but your vessel, is no longer yours alone to steer

And soon thereafter, drawn unto an astral field you go
wandering in a formless realm, where familiar sights
quickly disjoint the body from the soul
as once familiar songs, are belted out, in tongues foreign to the light

The thief moves about in the circles I had built, yet they can not tell the difference, the imposter’s presence goes unknown…perhaps, or so it seems, a case can be made to indicate, that both family and friends, appeared to like me more now, than they ever had, when It was I, comprising the definitions deep inside

And even when rapt in these songs of sin
no one noticed that these words were not mine,
were his seductive charms so aligned,
they couldn’t see the illusion buried beneath my skin?

His deception played upon the acts and thoughts
of others, stirring forth the definitions they wished to hear, that they wished I’d be
and as day’s continued, in this space I grew lost,
even questioning if I was better served with the beast controlling me

All I could do, was sing a Ballad of Foreign Astral Tongues:
