Piercing the Veil

- Piercing the Veil -

Regarding the moon, is an eye that sees all,
Not all-seeing like some gypsy’s crystal ball…
But something more sinister and arcane too!
It waited for the darkening of skies once blue.
When I walk in the woods it regards me well,
And I sense in it some kindred from deep Hell.
I regard the eye and look into its’ vast deeps…
And the raven looks back as the world sleeps.
Familiar spirit, sent to guide me to my meeting,
With spirits that await my sorcery’s greeting!
I did not realize at first, though I felt the dread,
That raven was in reality, a spirit of the dead.

“Piercing the veil,
With intensity to mock the gods!
Piercing your soul,
Like a thousand hot iron rods.
My eye sees what you fear,
Piercing your heart.
Pray it draws not more near,
Lest my gaze rend you apart!

Reality is torn down,
By looking beyond the veil…
As in darkness you drown.
No one there to console,
Before my gaze you are alone.
You shiver in shadow,
My gaze flays you to the bone.
More terrible than you know!

Piercing the veil,
Until you see what was hidden!
Piercing your flesh,
Like spur on steed hard ridden.
What does your eye behold?
Something without reason!
My gaze meets you cold,
Your soul betrays you: treason.”
