The Crimson Priestess

 



The Crimson Priestess


(A lone voice whispers)


Within my dark lucid dreams

She always appears


Sending me deep spiritual treasures

To see and absorb by my Golden Scrying Mirrors


In the silvery moonlights many reflective walls

Which are in plain view


But just hidden from all the profane

No matter what they do


My Crimson Priestess

Hailing from the mythical Red Church


A legendary palace filled with a multitude of dark confessional rooms

Hidden from mortal eyes


Only accessed by a select few


Either above or below

And only known to them who are truly in the know


Come listen and hear my sweet calls

And join me upon your life’s quest


She always whispers when I dream


There's a red room in here

With crimson silk sheets adorned with diamonds and gold


Where you can be my guest forever

Until you're old and when we finally lay together


If you're courageous enough

You'll never get cold


I'll send you ancient spells to drive your mortal success

Compassion and kindness


To leave for others

To follow in your footsteps


I await in the deep ravines

Currently unexplored by you


Look deep within yourself tonight

And with the thinning of the purple veil


Between your world and mine

Just after the stroke of midnight


I'll appear before your eyes and reclaim your mind

I'll take you back


Through all the dark corridors of the hidden cities and towns

To a Red Church of such spiritual salvation


And there I will trace with my soft fingertips

Along your spines road maps


The route to a new sensuous discovery

And introduce you into exotic tempestuous realms


Of such redemption

That you will plead to stay and never return


But it's here in this very room

I see and whisper to you from


That tonight your ticket to a glorious new world

You'll earn


Now summon me and just say three times


Blessed Be

Blessed Be

Blessed Be
