The Sonnet of the Lone Guardian Angel

The Sonnet of the Lone Guardian Angel

(A lone voice whispers)

Some walk alone

seeking salvation

Others in groups seeking redemption

Through a silent breath, they all sing the same songs

A convergence of emotions to redo old wrongs

A joining of minds to continue the journeys

Emancipation has always been the lone cries

Voices echoing in the darkest of nights

We hear you and you are never alone

We see you

We are always by your side

This life has never been just a one-person ride

We are always with you in those lonely dark nights

An invisible hand to hold just hidden from sight

Keep your faith in yourself and whatever maybe

The sun will shine just you wait and see

I was bestowed at birth to only you

By your Almighty old friend

To help you in all that you contend

In all that you do

I am a secret friend who nobody sees

To inspire all that is deep awaiting release

I visit nightly when you are asleep

When the world is quiet and you no longer weep

I walk in your deep dreams and we link arms and converse

We speak in all languages where nothing is terse

So if you have a glorious dream

If you wake up and still feel emotions and empowerment from a person unseen

It's simply me

Your guardian angel in life's twisted labyrinthine

The Crimson Priestess

 

The Crimson Priestess

(A lone voice whispers)

Within my dark lucid dreams

She always appears

Sending me deep spiritual treasures

To see and absorb by my Golden Scrying Mirrors

In the silvery moonlights many reflective walls

Which are in plain view

But just hidden from all the profane

No matter what they do

My Crimson Priestess

Hailing from the mythical Red Church

A legendary palace filled with a multitude of dark confessional rooms

Hidden from mortal eyes

Only accessed by a select few

Either above or below

And only known to them who are truly in the know

Come listen and hear my sweet calls

And join me upon your life’s quest

She always whispers when I dream

There's a red room in here

With crimson silk sheets adorned with diamonds and gold

Where you can be my guest forever

Until you're old and when we finally lay together

If you're courageous enough

You'll never get cold

I'll send you ancient spells to drive your mortal success

Compassion and kindness

To leave for others

To follow in your footsteps

I await in the deep ravines

Currently unexplored by you

Look deep within yourself tonight

And with the thinning of the purple veil

Between your world and mine

Just after the stroke of midnight

I'll appear before your eyes and reclaim your mind

I'll take you back

Through all the dark corridors of the hidden cities and towns

To a Red Church of such spiritual salvation

And there I will trace with my soft fingertips

Along your spines road maps

The route to a new sensuous discovery

And introduce you into exotic tempestuous realms

Of such redemption

That you will plead to stay and never return

But it's here in this very room

I see and whisper to you from

That tonight your ticket to a glorious new world

You'll earn

Now summon me and just say three times

Blessed Be

Blessed Be

Blessed Be
