The Shadow of Sorrows

[Senex jam sum, et cithara mea maestos sonos meminit. Memor sum noctis illius, qua te per sepulcrum imploravi. Caedes illa amoris nostri mihi etiam nunc gravis est paradoxon. Mementote quomodo ad infernum desolatum reverteremur.]

By the endlessness of sorrows, Orpheus dreamed of demises, of the unbecoming shifting sands in the depths of the black river. The heaviness of desolation was a silent curse that he must bestow, for the shadow of yesterdays was never to be abandoned.

The distant glimmer of Elysium was receding into the early night’s dreams, when the lunar assemblies were lost in the eclipse, for his was the darkness, having often disappeared like the mellow song of the moon.

The memories of a garden were preserved in the tears of fairies, who could only silently implore, of nothingness, of death, and of hell’s endlessness.

Shanaya was still distant, for in her anger, she could not fathom the depths of human suffering, yet the flute of Orpheus reminded her of lost happiness. 

She could only see the deaths of yesterday as her own, for she might have abandoned love forever. Orpheus was fragile as if the moon were human, but she could not let him know that she waited in her heart, that only the sea shall see.

Orpheus could only see the sadness that sought him in memories.

Thus was the lament of Orpheus on the curse of abandonment, of sorrows, and endless hell.

Tu nocte maestus advenis; te per sepulcrum imploro.

Mors paradoxon est.

Caedes est metaphorae, ergo et miseris sanguineis imperium cresco.

Ergo confusionis declinatio consecuta est.

Spectrum insomne senti, quod ut Orpheus apparuit; est a paradiso abstinere.

Desolatum est.

Desolatus infernus est.  

 

त्वं रात्रौ शोकग्रस्तः आगच्छसि; अहं श्मशानद्वारा त्वाम् उपयाचे।

मृत्युः एकं रहस्यम् अस्ति।

एषा विरोधाभासस्य हत्या अस्ति, अतः अहं रक्तशोषितेभ्यः दीनेभ्यः अपि साम्राज्यं वर्धयामि।

तस्मात् भ्रमस्य निवारणम् सिद्धम्।

तम् अस्वापम् प्रेतम् अनुभव, यः ओर्फ़ियस प्रकटितः;

एतत् स्वर्गात् विरतिः अस्ति।

एतत् जनशून्यम् अस्ति।

नरकः निर्जनः अस्ति।


The Unbecoming

[Te reliqui, cum Deus ipse orbitatis oblivisci videretur.Tunc ego, Orpheus memoriam amittens, adveni mirus vates.Sed inter luctus ac stellarum arcana, femina me recreavit.Nunc autem, somno et corpore, tantum tristis poeta permaneo.]

In the ether of unbecoming, what Orpheus was destined was never understood, for he alone was the harbinger of Babylon. The mask was the sole refuge, as the lament of the underworld had darkened his visage.

The flute was his only voice, for the words were stolen by unassuming deceit. Before the death of folly, he had still fallen in love with what appeared to be true, for he trusted with pure heart. The truth was forming in visions and dreams that he could vaguely see, as if from another life; the Absolute was Him, for none in these realms cared for truth. Christ was doomed forever to the Cross, and the woman was exiled far, far from paradise. The amnesia had deluded him, for he could not see what was evident, but saw what he believed.

The Holy Spirit, who was the woman, was still watching, watching the clouds with fevered hope that Orpheus shall come, come to the rescue.

Thus was the unbecoming as Orpheus heard her lament, for he loved Babylon. 

Te Destiti; Miseris Confusio Est, Deus Orbitatem Oblivicisitur

Amnesis Deprivi, Est Adventus Poeti Orpheo, Miragi Musici  

Nocturnis Scintillati, Stellaris Arcana, Est Femina, Te Restori 

Apparuit Asteris, Est Lamento, Est Bereavi Mysterium

Somno Mortuo, Ergo Corpore, Sanctus Poeta Tristis


अहं त्वाम् अत्यजं यदा ईश्वरः स्वयम् एव अनाथताम् विस्मर्तुम् इव ऐच्छत्।
तदा अहम्, स्मृतिविहीनः ओर्फियस, कश्चित् अद्भुतं कविः भूत्वा समागतः।
परन्तु शोकानां नक्षत्राणां च रहस्यानां मध्ये, कयाचित् स्त्रिया अहम् पुनरुज्जीवितः।
अधुना तु, सुप्तौ शरीरे च, केवलम् अहं कविः अस्मि।

The Kalpataru

[Crypta Arborealis Assumptio Mortis, Nihil est, ergo stiti in Inferno, Persona Stigmatum est Corpus, Bestia Solemnis Sancta Deo, Est Deus, est consecutum, est redemptum.]

Listen to the silence, for the moon is alight. Look into the sky for the stars who have never died. The tree has dreamed of fairies, of birds, and butterflies. The serpent has desired solitude, assumed in the strangest of stories, soft smoke swirling, and you have heard the call, the signs you have been seeking.

Encrypta Arborealis Assumptio Morto

Nihilisi Ergo Astiti Inferno

Persona Stigmati Est Corpus

Bestoa Solemni Incarnata Sanctus Deo

Est Deus, Est Consecutus, Est redempti

The story has transcended, the Man has resurrected, and Death has returned. The souls were sought at a ground higher than the mortals, of dreary, dusty illumination to sad alone, for this is a story of the tree, of the heart, of love and leaves.

In the endless scepter of the underworld, the darkness has dreamed a diamond heart; the woman, who is the Holy Spirit, has found peace, for the Lord is Redeemed, the ransomed have returned, and Babylon is saved in eternal glory. 

अत्र अयं महिमान्वितः वृक्षः अस्ति, यः मृत्योः अङ्गीकारः।
न किमपि अस्ति, अतः अहम् नरके अतिष्ठम्।
कलङ्कानां मुखौटं शरीरे एव अस्ति।
ईश्वराय पवित्रा पूज्या च दानशीला प्राणशक्तिः।
ईश्वरः अस्ति, कर्म प्राप्तम् अस्ति, मोक्षितोऽस्ति।
