From an old book called Introspection I published on Amazon.
It's rather strange reading old words.
I'm a complicated soul for sure 🔥
Salute.

Book overview
Escapism – For the readers.
Within this deep clearing, a sanctuary surrounded by the long trees of Time's perpetual symphonies, we meet.
Within this clearing, sheltered from Storms:
inside this sacred sanctuary, within this journey.
A place beyond the Silence of Humanities long reach,
a secret place where the bright blue Sky holds back the shadows of conflict and pains of Yesteryear.
A place beyond duty, consequence, or fear.
Instead, immersed for a brief interlude,
a silent time where we simply enjoy each other’s thoughts,
before once again pulling up our long cloaks of separation,
once again venturing forth into the cauldron of life’s ever spinning tapestries.
Would you still follow me if I lit a red candle
In this final odyssey
Would you follow me willingly into the swirling dark
In this brief history of time
Would you grasp my coattails as we trespassed tentatively through all of life's scary parks
As we swim against all the fast-flowing tides
Will you tango and tiptoe past the Tall Man and all his worldly Minions
As we circumnavigate the globe
The new world grid and claimed it as our Dominion
For although we are but lost souls going eventually to She'ol
Would you still just blindly follow me past the awakening powers of a modern god
As we walk unashamed together behind the many new pale white horses
To be wantonly unleashed within the unfathomable darkness as we surely conquer this life and all its dark forces
Forever tasked with painting new erotic masterpieces with apocalyptic energy like Vincent Van Gogh
And then every night
Hidden behind the many enemies money can ever make
Before we dream
Shall we plead to angels and owners of the book of secrets
To take us beyond the Black Darkness
We always see when our astral eyes open as our mortal eyes close
To use their invisible hands to tear away the dark rim before our ever-watchful twin pyres
To show us what truly lies beyond these
Books of Lies
Everyone sometimes reads from
For us to venture into newer undiscovered lands
To a brave new world
To see the bright lights of two crimson suns and the quartet of multicoloured rainbows illuminating a purple-hued sky
A place where no one no longer dies
A paradise of ever-swirling winds of a whispered profound new Eden
Perpetually emanating from a deep divine so high up Above
A sanctuary lost forever within the forgiving green reeds of a new millennium
A place to be reunited with dear old family or friends who never made it to the end where nobody no longer cries
To sit beside the Holy River to write poetry and sing and to joyously watch through a silver scrying mirror
As the real world slowly disappears
To walk through luscious green grass to the Eternal City
To hear the greatest stories never told to human ears
To finally embrace a new realm free from all fears or pity
This we will beseech the Silent Dark before once again we are lost in each other
for a few hours
As we joyously board Morpheus's dark Ark of broken old dreams
Before stepping silently into newly conjured world unseen
Smiling like twin heroes with a thousand faces
Amid old rainbows of hidden dangers
Where we shall hear blessings from the
Red Priestess
To deliver us into a new realm just hidden in-between
Whispered in echoes in the deepest ravines
Of the hollow earth
May the Powers of Apollo
The God of Music
Arts Knowledge Healing Prophecy and Poetry
Mesmerise and provide catharsis
For you, as this life, you silently follow
May the Goddess Athena fill you with reason wisdom intelligence skill and peace
Wherever you wander upon life's many emotional beaches
May the upcoming Full Buck Moon infused with blessings sent from the Mistress of Helios
Empower you to conquer all challenges
With self-love and strength
A new power to proclaim boldly in the darkest of all nights
I can do this right
May the powers of your Ancestral Kin
Those familiar voices which still sometimes visit to whisper invocations of hope to still guide you as it resonates deep within
So you can reach new plateaus
For happiness to truly begin
By all the
Power of the Purple Flame from The Unseen
Just behind the veil
To all the watchful Elementals
Deities and Old Gods
By the healing powers of Above and Below
May this ancient blessing empower you wherever you go
And to never be to a hostage
So be it
Can you hear that low whisper from the other side as you walk through my mind
Can you feel me
For within your mind I too now walk
Can you hear my soft voice as through these mesmerising words I too now talk
For you are now mine
It was always written in the old books of life in the beginning of time
When God built the Cosmos
Can you feel me creeping through those cautious corridors of your mind as I pause and shamelessly whisper this inter-dimensional rhyme
You may pass this away as a sensuous strange dream
You may convince yourself it's only your fertile imagination
But believe me, it's real and you will see and embrace it in the passing of time
For you are now mine so say it quietly
From the
Black Grimoires stolen like a common thief from the Devil's Keep
A dark masquerade filled with fallen angels
I invocate this spell to force you to love me as you nightly sleep
So dream of me when you rest and prepare for me when we eventually meet
I've now cast your name into the Sphinx's mixing bowl and there's no one to blame
Don't question when your unconsciousness starts counting down the dogeared days and slow nights
Tossing and turning just restless and filled with so much unknown burning anxiety and angst
For you are now mine
Since by reading this
You have just sipped some of my
Holy communion wine
So mote it be
