The Call of Exo


 A mythical supernatural short poetic monologue, for those who enjoy, semi long reads.


Salute.


The Call of Exo


(A lone voice whispers)


Have you ever tasted the sour black wine


Of trying to live a life of separation in lands of desolation 


One filled with an erratic marching Mariachi band


Playing the Vihuela and Guitarrón


Taking turns 

Singing in rhymes 


About your pain

As they play on


About living a life with nothing to gain


Surrounded by Kukulan dark soldiers 


Of an unseen nation

From The Great In-Between


Chanting mantra's of shame with a sabbatical of 


Coniunge ordines nostros et inveniet libertatem


Coniunge ordines nostros et inveniet libertatem


(Join our ranks and find freedom)


(Join our ranks and find freedom)


Living a new life without any seemingly form of emancipation 


Blamed

Like a new Eve


For all bad things

Conceived


Lost in a schism of time

Hovering like a hummingbird


Between the fluctuating streams of two worlds


The Old and New


As they burn

Like green and blue

paper cups


Filled with broken dreams

Of love

Hope and peace


Even yellow cups of sadness with no sight of escape or release 


This prophetic dream

Of a Paradise Lost 

Like Milton


I was shut down with every night as my soul was unwritten 


Like a clone of Nikola Tesla who once dreamed of making it


As his patents were forbidden 


And as I now shudder in this cold while that familiar story 


Like a dark Hollywood picture show 

Unfolds


There is a new voice calling like a siren


An original voice 

Summoning my soul

With soft sounds


I hear whispering in my centrepiece


Llámame y vendré

Llámame y vendré


(Call me, and I'll come)

(Call me and I'll come)


Over and over 


A voice crawling all over and haunting my inner place 


Of grey walls

In the Void 

As it slowly calls 


Llámame y vendré

Llámame y vendré


Echoing

With hope's desires and all-consoling dreams


As the Kukulan dark soldiers 

Retreat and scream


Unctus Tu ad nos pertinent Equites in Aeternum Pulvis 


Unctus Tu ad nos pertinent Equites in Aeternum Pulvis 

(L)


(Anointed Thou belongs to us Knights in the Eternal Dust)


(Anointed Thou belongs to us Knights in the Eternal Dust)


As they come to know

Their calls 


I no longer trust 


(C)
