The Great Metatron

 


Blessed be 

Velumbound


Did no one tell you that true Magic exists


Just hidden somewhere deep

In most societies


Sought after by convicts

Of the mundane


Profane addicts, who cry out in the mists


Whenever they're asleep

In pain


Some crying out for redemption or anything 


Linked to temptation


But still, it subsists 

In so many obscure places


And upon so many altars

Does it reside


For when it comes out to tempt 

The eyes of the juggernaut


Known as The Great Metatron

To look


One of the most powerful archangels

And interdimensional scribes


To the Book of Life


It causes so many other emotions

To like atoms collide


In the deep-minds


Behind inquisitive eyes and faces

From all gender and races


As imagery

Emotions and engagement 


Runs wide

For the Philosophers Stone


The Great Secret

Is simply this


There's an old piece of magic in us

All


But sometimes

It only chooses to come out 


In those it made to speak


After a mighty fall

When they were weak

Writing tip 101



For a dash of exquisite fun


Try to have such a mesmerising style of creativity


When stimulating, visual imagery.


Through your soliloquy


So all those within your prose's proximity:


Can enjoy its delicious delivery

The Transmissions

 New novel in development. 


Now, where can I conjure 35,000 words from? 

The Repetition of Time

 


A poem offering a gentle, reassuring hand to anyone experiencing sudden loss. 


Shifting the focus from the permanence of death to the permanence of love. 


Suggesting that memory is a timeless dimension where we can always reunite with those we have lost.


(A lone voice whispers) 


Blessed be

Velumbound


Let's explore the Repetition of Time


For loss covers many different paradigms.


From relationships, family, and friends.


But one pivotal thought sometimes gets forgotten in grief. 


When someone suddenly has died.


The love you both once shared will live forever.


Just hidden in a Repetition of Time.


As you suddenly remember this 17-syllable drop of bliss.


In five, seven, five.


As those old memories fire and come alive.


To just miss someone. 

 (5)


Is to have been truly loved. 

(7) 


Treasure those moments.
