Fourth Wall of Faustus
Memento mori – remember you must die.
Faustus heed thy warning.
Speaketh not devils,
Angels exeunt with wretched abandon.
Enter Indigo.
Thine saviour art not light nor dark.
Thou art thine saviour,
Thy soul art Medusa in thy mind,
Thou darest not meet its gaze...
frozen as Atlantis abyss.
Thawed as a lobster in
Satan’s furnace.
Think not on Satan
nor Jehova.
Thou shalt not perish as
demons enter.
Enter Jehovah.
Of making many books there is no end,
and much learning is a weariness of the flesh.
Memento mori – remember you must die.
Thou shalt also live.
Enter Lucifer.
Thou shalt conjure in thy name,
Thou art hath the eternal key.
Pillars of Pandora,
tear thy broken soul.
Thou art not Job,
Thine salvation hath deceived thou
in Job's name
Thy deception ’twas planned.
Exeunt Jehovah.
Exeunt Lucifer.
If thou art omnipotent
thou art evil as thine accomplice.
Thine Eden art not eternity
in thy malignant hand.
Thine figures art false as Venusberg,
Thou art deceiving thy self.
Faustus art esoteric,
As thine own fate.
Indigo shalt not exeunt,
Thine love remains omniscient.
Indigo

Yeah, I saw it as part of my English Literature degree.
Any thoughts on my poem's meaning?
