Lost Love Reborn

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.

You answered so eloquently
as I patiently waited
with bated breath

For my answers to deep-seated questions
once asked in my darkened shaded

Deep sleep

Your messages and memories
are still in my old silver gun

Forever

Loaded

To shoot irreplaceable golden bullets
to help dispel the oncoming darkness

Your once softly whispered wishes
are my alabaster white altar
I kneel nightly to pray upon

What tomorrow holds

As it slowly unfolds or songs are sung
by unseen omnipotent pagan

Old Gods

Who deem themes to be our preordained fates

I will always wait by the Red Churches

wrought iron old gates

Until now
Fairy tales coming true seemed so distant

Like a mythical quest for only Greek heroes

Your heart may have been once broken
as it once lovingly swallowed
loves enchanting red potions

The question I ask is simply
let's stay together in this quiet moment

For lonely souls

 that have walked through loves

red mists

and now lay filled with disappointments

Can once again be reinvigorated
To once more explore knee-deep

 into the quagmires of deep uncertainty

Illuminated by the flames of Aphrodisiac’s red fire

And still, take all the risks that may come
Even though others may question

your choices and dark desires

There hidden in those seconds minutes

hours weeks and months and even years

In this opaque respite full of inspired prose

and overwhelming wet invisible tears
Lays an endless red kiss


Does your silkened mind still crave

my thoughts of the divine
If it's answers your indulgent mind

still seeks

Read these poignant words

whenever you are weak
For I can confess with a candid heart

I have always loved you

And with a willing soul until the day

when I eventually disappear

when I grow old

That I desire you know those answers

And perhaps tomorrow will offer in a new reunion
Until then hold me closer
Dream to kiss me and bend me
to your indomitable will

For I think you will find
I am yours and you are mine

As it always has been foretold

in the ancient archive's of time

Just a forgotten old dream
But now re-birthed in this beautiful moment

when you feel broken

For when you hold me really close
When that pulsating heart starts to beat

When you kiss my memories

and poignant prose tenderly
And our glowing soulmate eyes

melt into one

You can once again believe
in self-indulgent fairy-tales

once more

As previously written destined quests

and dreams do come true

As I help to build a new palace
To encourage you to renew

You can forget all those once

held unanswered questions

No longer to search for reasons

alone in the darkness

Since all that resonates to me
In this old delicate work

Is the ability to guide you

 Through mazes of doubts

and fears of previous failures

To

Help you unfurl

In this particular moment
lying here metaphorically with you

I feel like a prince in the arms of a princess
Like a reborn new Jeremiah

Who has new keys to a new eternal

kingdom

That was made and blessed with forgiven

words of redemption

and exquisite love

Baptised and redeemed

By an ancient Greek God from

So high above

Will, you still wait for me

Just inside

The Red Churches

Old wrought iron gates

Time may be passing but I will always wait
