The Midnight Hunters from The Black and Blue Lodge

 


Blessed be. 

Velumbound. 


A transmission that suggests when profound love or a specific chapter of life ends, something darker steps into the void to hunt down the memories that remain.


(A sad lone voice whispers)


My old love 

Loved shaking her crow-black hair 


As old daydreams tumbled around her


Like brown autumn leaves in the air 


On any given day or night 


Dreams of divinity

Of God and light 


Like the first thing you see when you close your eyes at night


Temporal spaces filled with familiar faces


Crooning like nameless mockingbirds

Under a watchful moon


Dreams of us as a pair


Regale my eyes with surreal memories of us


Everywhere I now look since God closed that Crimson Book 


Us entwined at sea 


Surrounded by floating red roses as seagulls watched


Laughing like playful, innocent schoolchildren


Free from all fears and good behaviour


But now the

Ancient Ones have called at midnight to remind me


“Those who once lay entwined in their sea as their seagulls watched 


Will soon get a visit 


From The Midnight Hunters from The Black and Blue Lodge”
