Babalon Eyes

 

“Babalon Eyes” by Frater Oz

“She’s shameless
She’s nameless
Invoking all of his emptiness
He wants her
He seeks her
He feels her
He’s near her
He hears her
Deep inside

He did it all for Nuit
He searched for Hadit
Always burning inside
And I wonder if she sees him
With her Babalon eyes”

  1. “‘Resolve all question by a moonward tread. Follow the moon!’ Even so the king had said. My thought had thanked him for the generous breath Wherewith he warned us: for delay were death. And now, too late! no moon is overhead– Some other meaning in the words he saith? Or, am I tricked in such a little snare?”
  2. “I lifted up my eyes. What soul stood there, Fronting my path? Tall, stately, delicate, A woman fairer than a pomegranate. A silver spear her hands of lotus bear, One shaft of moonlight quivering and straight. She pointed to the East with flashing eyes: ‘Thou canst not see her–but my Queen shall rise.’ Bowed head and beating heart, with feet unsure I passed her, trembling, for she was too pure. I could have loved her. No: she was too wise. Her presence was to gracious to endure. ‘She did not bid me go and chain me to her,’ I cried, comparing.”
  3. “God’s heart! the antics, as they toil and shove! One grabs a coin, one life, another love. All shriek, ‘The prize is mine!’ as men possessed. I was not fooled at anything thereof. Rather I hated them, and scorned for slaves; ‘Fools! all your treasure is at last the grave’s!'”

  5. “I turned–the path? My horror was complete– A flaming sword across the earthquake gap. I cried aloud to God in my despair. ‘The quest of quests! I seek it, for I dare! Moonward! on, moonward!'”
