The Story of the Uwohali

 

  **The Story of the Uwohali**

Press play before reading. Salute.

(A lone voice whispers)

My memory cathedrals librarian forever makes me think 

When it speaks soothingly like a loving stranger 

On one of life's many fast-moving trains

In deep moments of reflective distinct solitude

As I remember you in here 

Watching the dark skies surround the sacred Chislak Mountains

Like an advancing grey army

As I stand by its fast-flowing cold rivers

That may cause many to inwardly shiver

This loving stranger 

Always

Whispers back

To me 

About you

A goddess 

I once prayed to and who for a short while stayed

Every night and

Especially 

In the early

Morning breeze 

And just now as the twinkling midnight stars 

Look down and

Bid their heartfelt goodbyes

Within your blazing passionate dark eyes

I can only pray you hear or read this

For I hope I’ll always live on 

And eternally once more come alive

To continuously 

Remind you of 

How happy 

We used to be 

The beloved memories 

Poetic love stories and all

The goofy crazy laughter

So much happiness 

And uncontrollable joy

To echo from now to throughout the hereafter 

Some triggered and caught up

In all the many old 

Photographs of me

You may still treasure and see

My sacred one 

Named and anointed in secret 

By Aylin

The Halo of the Moon

Under the Weeping Willow Tree

In the cave of enchantment by the sea

Only known to the true and free 

So my love,

I may now dance with kin

Amongst long-lost galaxies 

Or lay amongst strangers on green fields beneath unknown faraway stars

Looking at the universe's beautiful array 

But whenever you think of me

I'll always appear 

I hope 

In any given way

Like a soft tender feeling

A subtle gust of wind

Or a white feather

 A familiar yell or sensation

Wherever you are

Across this earth

Or simply hidden

Within any great nation

I may be now 

Part of the

Unknown In-Between Realms 

In a new frequency of reality that may consume us both

With The Supernatural Dagon

One of the insidious unseen energy vampires

Trying to feast on our rare delicious dish of unexploded dreams 

In the middle of any sunny day

Or unexpectedly, at night 

But my love for you 

Will simply last 

Forever and push it away

From this life to the next

For we were once 

Baptized somewhere ethereal 

By unknown angels to be 

Together

For we are eternal 

And one day by that Holy River

Underneath the heavenly Cherry Blossom tree

We will once more be reunited by Aylin

The Halo of the Moon

For this life is simply a re-introduction

A sometimes cruel rehearsal 

And for some time unknown to each other

We were simply wandering lost in the burning circles of the paranormal 

But now I know and have felt a vibration of your aura

All I can do is cry a praise of adoration 

To The Almighty 

And shout Hosanna

For next to the Silver City

We will be reunited 

So I'm told in spirit 

For life is sometimes a cruel rehearsal 

If we once again

Like so many before us

Suffer the fate of reincarnation 

And unknown to each other

We are then simply sentenced to wondering

Lost 

In the burning circles of the paranormal 

Before we enter a new place

Where there are hopefully 

No more painful hurdles
