The Watcher Speaks


 (A lone voice whispers.)


To my Sophia

We are like the mythical
Adam and Eve

Walking upon the grey shores
Of a lost planet

Hidden in deepest of space

Our love holding us
Knee deep

As if buried alive

We will witness
The birth of Nebula's
Stars

And rediscovered Old Gods

A new Atlantis
Filled with beasts and men

We will stride beyond
Masters of the Temple

Erecting their secretive
Light barriers

As we part the soft pages
In our own
Book of Pleasure

To be perused and used
At our inquisition and leisure

We will watch The Fall of Man
With the rise of the
Cosmic Serpent

We will lie upon the sands of time
As the crucifixion begins

The sights
Palaces
Maybe
Aflame before us

Of a world consumed with
Corruption and sin

For
We are riders of
The Great Red Dragon of Old

We the Watchers
Who never grow old

Who collects the Universes
Stories

For in time
To be simply retold
