An Discord To Eris


An Discord To Eris By r2q2

She always knew where her towel was
For has ridden with hell's angel's
And sung better than any choir
And her answer to all is written in the texts
But she has saved me
Giving me meaning where there was nothing


I have seen her in the times of light
Or in my darkess hour
Telling me how to pull through
She had the smell of fairy dust
But I could never comprehend her nature
For she is like the unknown aleph
Her infinite nature that is undecidable


When I looked into her eyes of amber
There was a coolness unseen
Like the grace she has
When you see her afar
You could hear her sing her sweet song
As she strolled on by not even looking at me


Her dress was provocative at best
At worst it left nothing to the imagination
All golden like the apple she had
Inscribed with the greek that is
But you could see the dagger she hid
(eris's responce)
I am within you and without you
If you try to oppose me you will lose
You cannot fight the disorder I am
For in any closed system I exist
But if you follow my lead
If you are my subject and use me
I can make your dreams into destiny
For I will be your imaginations limits
And the only thing that is keeping you
Is the psychic armor that you own
Throw that away and awaken your vorpal blade


And then my armor waned
When the world started to become surreal
And I ceased to be and became a knight Without armor but of only
What has been revealed



To intepret this poem first sprinkle yourself with fairy dust. If you don't know what that means read the poem again. If you still don't know what that means then you must read the Principia-Discordia.

La Belle Dame Avec Vérité Absolue

I wrote this poem after asking the question of myself who I am. This is what I got.


La Belle Dame Avec Vérité Absolue (Beautiful Women with absolute truth)


It isn't black roses on my cheek I fear
That I may cease to be
Or cold that I have been left out in
Like a lonely flower chilled by winter

But to lose a simple game
I play alone against me
The war for my own mind
For that is where my thoughts reside

And this a fight with the odds stacked against me
But I still fight the battle of the mind
It holds my fate either to success
Or ultimate failure by confinement in solitude

But I am always with my demons
Their darkness reigns upon my brain
I was led into their halls
With mirrors of my dreams shown to me

And I saw what they wanted me to see
They used the ailment of mistruth
And gave me a vile curse
That wounds inside the dream

I am always a knight with emerald armor
That takes up arms against his foe's
I cry out "La Belle Dame Avec Vérité Absolue"
The battle cry I have been given

In a whisper from my goddess upon high
And belief in finding the truth
To be a true warrior of the mind
I must know myself

And strive to find the balance
To settle the devil in the details
So my mind shall be calm enough
To think in front of the beasts

It is the fay's that are my muses
The faery's of question
That ask me for nature's deepest secrets
Behind the mask that we all see

To answer those questions is merely
Finding truth which is beauty that I want to know
It is looking at her for what she is
That makes me want to be
