Are you under Poetic Possession



Are you under Poetic Possession?


Title:


The Poets Spirit Guide


(A manuscript found reads...)



By

Eyes, Touch, Paper or Phone


Let my words 

Melt hearts of stone


Through

Wind, fire, wave and sea


I see you

Can you feel my

Breath 


Like green wet moss


Creeping cross

Your warm skin

To set you free


Yet


Read me 

More


To open your

Minds door

To let me in


Long Midsummers light

In Dark skies


Earth warm

By new shadows 

Borne


Shall I linger

With you

Until the morn


Heat rising


Like legions of well drilled soldiers


Called to fight

In Caesars 

Battle of Pharsalus


Solstice soon


Whispers of new beginnings 


With me and you

Standing away from the

Barbarous


Blending light and dark colours 


Where old feelings fall

Like Winters Snow Drops


To be swept away

Like Dandelions 

In midnight air


So like twin roses

Entwined as one 


Entwined in a brief time

Of bliss


Shall I can call

Back Magic 


So we can taste

And kiss


Poetry 


Under Shadows 

Starlight free


In Gods mist 


So when time passes by

Like Moonlight

Angels


I'll answer your cry


To appear

At your side


So by 

Sacred Mothers Oath


Let all eyes

Touched or approached


By these pagan words on 


Paper 

Screen or

Phone


Let these words 

Melt hearts of stone


In 

Wind, Fire, Wave or Sea


For I see you

Need to be set free


So can you feel my

Breath yet


Creeping across

Like green moss

On warm wet skin


For by reading this

You've let me in


By wilful intent

To begin a new rebirth 


So mote it

Be


So mote it

Be
