Monologue of the Eternal Watcher


My dearest 


Are we like the mythical Adam and Eve


Lost and walking upon grey shores


Of a lost planet that constantly grieves 


Hidden in deepest of spaces in-between 


Our deep neverending love holding us knee-deep


As if buried alive if we could be seen


In a sacred place beyond the grace of living beings



Where we'll witness the birth of nebula's


Stars and rediscovered Old Gods


A new Atlantis filled with wild pagan beasts and jealous old men


We will stride beyond the reach of the Masters of the Masonic Temples


As they line up in black cloaks chanting amen


Whilst erecting their secretive light barriers 


As we part the soft pages in our own Books of Pleasure


To be perused and used at our inquisition and leisure


We will watch the fall of the empires of man


With the rise of the Hidden Hand


The Brotherhood of the Cosmic Red Serpent


We will lie upon the yellow sands of time


As the new version of the Great Crucifixion begins


To see and smell the visceral sights


Palaces may burn and be aflame before us


A new vision of an old-world consumed with corruption and sin


For as we watch we will know


We are riders of The Great Red Dragon


Once foretold


For we are the mythical Watchers

Who never grow old


We who collect the Universes hidden stories


In time to be simply retold


We just reborn as poets or writers today


No longer citizens of any known countries


Just sent again to take part


In the greatest of all unforeseen plays 


From The Great In-Between


To nourish inquisitive minds


Which are perpetually hungry


For enchanting new stories 


To help carry them through the long night


As they search for internal peace and redemption 


In the hope to ascend and earn eternal glory
