Samîazâz speaks in 2022


 

Press play before reading. Salute.


A dark monologue from an old supernatural film project that was cancelled due to Covid19.

I think H.P and Clive B influenced my imagination when creating dark imagery. Salute.


Is he already here influencing society and countries through world leaders?

Will there be a second coming?

Shall I make the film?

(A lone old but confident seductive voice whispers in 2022)


Well hello there

From my firelit throne room here


Seated amongst the hail and the bright golden fireflies

With new fear mixed and burning with black blood


With Arâkîba and Râmêêl as my two witnesses


Surrounded by my four
Horsemen


Slaves on their different coloured horses


With souls crying underneath my cracked white altar

Crawling in your humanities deep crimson mud


As they scream out for salvation into the whaling now endless night

Drowning in this new flash flood


The Harvest of the Earth is soon to begin

We’ll all emerge laughing


With seven bowls
Held out as you all scream


Just asking to feed on more

Of your worshipped kings or queens


The Wormwood Star


So bright
Will light our way
Over Shoels old Borders


Heralding us


To be the newly anointed eaters
Of all your sins


The silence in Heaven
Will be our Seventh Seal


Our earthly manifestation and
Our second reintroduction


The pagan Songs of Old Moses
About the Seven Angels

Carrying the Seven Plagues


Will once more be sung
In a new Sodom and Gomorrah


The Scarlet Woman

Her Red Dragon
And the two pagan beasts


From the East


I will send forth from Hades


Summoned to create a
Plague of locusts


As they start so many delicious
New crusades


The Seven-Sealed Scrolls
Which speaks of
The Lamb Slain


When great earthquakes
Send all mountains thrown into
Boiling molten seas


As a third of the Sun and
Moon


Collide in such violence


The survivors of your world


Will watch
Star-struck in silence


There will be no judgments or rewards

No new personages medals or salvation's


But
With a tremendous earthquake


I'll send walking up
Euphrates River

One of my old queens


Babylon

Greatest of all prostitutes

With lips painted red and
Sharp crimson nails


She’ll seduce all watchers

With wide eyes before they all die


And my Babylon of Old
Will once again rise


All seas will soon turn to blood
Vengeful and painful


Overflowing and
Filled with such beautiful political sores


People once torched by Torquemada’s fires

In those dammed inquisitions


In the Middle Ages


Shall escape from my darkness
To taste the pain


Many will soon worship
My once unspoken name


Samîazâz


And soon when I return

We will all hold hands in a new salt circle


Illuminated by a thousand old stars


To then put up
A new broken


Black and red flag
To forever sing


O’ Blessed be
So mote it be


And then you will all drown in mortal and sexual sin


O’ Blessed be
So mote it be

Asmodeus is soon to come
For we are legion

So sing to us
O’ Blessed be

For Celine

 

Press play before reading. Salute.



(A lone voice whispers in the dark at 3 am)


Celine my beautiful nurse

This is for you and I can only pray and hope it gets through


For your delicate graceful touches were once so beautiful and incredibly captivatingly soothing

They always seemed to play a delightful melody to vanquish all my mortal fears


Like the rarest of heavenly sunsets that emerges with a twinkling smile in the midst of pink and red frontiers

When time itself appears to stop flexing and moving


Swirling above me like a god-like deity in a newly lit sky

Your memories are the quintessence of glamour in a night-time high society ball


Filled with dancing masked courting fireflies

Who once watched your every fluid movement in jaw-dropping awe


When they paused to rest on one of those hospital's beautifully wallpapered walls


A rare evening serenading the gathering of a few enamored sad spirits

Where honored souls gathered in their best blue dresses and bespoke white suits


To readily soothe any distress


Your tender soft hands 

I can always remember


Moved like Mother Moon gently over my trembling horizons

Whispering my secret name and claiming me as your domain


For at that moment we became consummate devotees and no longer just worldly friends


A bright new light lit up a brave new world  


A blazing beacon always breathed into night and never to be lost in those memories of delicious soft touches in that spectacular twilight


Under the keen gaze of your total devotion

I could only reflect my love and gratitude in my hazel colored lens


As the impending darkness surrounded us like an old friend


Your name still sings a lasting symphony of happiness 

And lingers in the celestial as angels watch and smile


No man-made treaties or paper laws or masks can separate us

For now, your memories in the Midnight Sun

Wildly run


I'll never lose this particular twilight and these baptized rays will never lose their red and pink hue


For when we first met
I'll always remember that I willingly sunk knee-deep into your green and blue


Since in that magical transference of spiritual energy circling within your eyes

I knew in that metaphysical moment 


Why God had sent me as you came into view 


And it's why now

I'll always just belong to you


My angel in the darkness called Celine

A beautiful nurse who was once my queen

(A lone voice whispers)


Here’s my piece and thanks for the chance to speak once more through your obsidian scrying mirror


For throughout this sad afterlife, I'm eternally reminded of you


My Ilona


And all those tiny intricacies that you once used to lovingly do


I still carry you so close

You know


A silent yellow trophy of bygone years


When life was free and we braved the world fiercely together 

Without any fears


But now filled in here with countless invisible tears

I just wonder around in this undulating darkness 


Slowly understanding and coming to terms

That you’re gone


I now just carry a single golden dandelion 

Deep in my old coat pocket


To always remind me of happier times


The wedding
Our two children 


Azora and Selena

And more so Argentina 


Where we shared our first sweet kiss


All moments I try to never forget and will always miss


That golden dandelion is just my own treasured memory locket

For love may visit you maybe just once in your lifetime


My message to you my dearest listener

Is to cherish it and try to savor its delicious first taste


Like a fine Italian red wine

For you’ll never know your own quota of earthly time


That eternal golden dandelion 

I still keep deep in my old coat pocket


Is simply my secret password home

My spiritual port key


For whenever I hold it up and see it and my sad red eyes close


I know death may be a stepping stone 

To a new place where we can atone


But when I still remember and see 

Her beautiful face because of it 


I also know that I'm blessed that whatever happens

I'll never truly be alone

The Woman in the Shadows

 Press play before reading, salute.



(A lone voice whispers)

Elena

Look to those deep memories

For they’re no longer cold graves that may cause you to weep


Try not to lose too much sleep 

On those who may lovingly still call me a creep


For what they do not know

I’m but strands of all those thousand winds 


That Love blows


That rare bottle of emotional Tennessee whisky 

You may choose to help serenade you to sleep


The twinkling diamond in a dark storm-filled cloud 

As it snows


A burst of blistering sunlight to warm your soul

Wherever you go


That gentle reminder of our faded love song

Whenever you open those dark brown eyes


In the early morning breeze

Now that I’m gone


For all I am now is but one of the soft stars

That shines at night listening to the Purple Rainfall


A woman from the South Side

Living now in the Great In-Between


Always watching as you ride

Elena

Don’t let regret and grief be the only things
this life forces you to eat


Just try to always remember me


The good times and my eternal love

Within every step, you take and every heartbeat


It was always meant to be

One day in here
You’ll see 


As we dance in the Purple Rain

And when it washes away all that old pain 


Only our true love will remain 


In this Purple Rain

The Star Crossed Lover

 


Press play before reading. Salute.




(A lone voice whispers)

Will you defeat all I am with the divine soliloquies of your sweet tasting love magic

Shall I venture alone to my designated internal salvation


To be simply reborn and stand all above

That which is borne 


Or will I fall at the wayside and dwindle

In my faith 


As it capriciously falls

Have I met you already in person in a previous tragic lifetime


As I wandered through it all


Or have I simply passed you by before we spoke and is this

The sweet-tasting nectar of not knowing


Like a glass of strawberry wine


Already written upon the laws of synchronicity multicultural walls

We both never saw


And is that why I miss you all the time

Lucy Speaks

 Press play before reading. Salute.


(A lonely female voice whispers)


You may still need time to heal
And I’ve only just figured it out


Only God can put us
Together again


I finally know I need to kiss that old dream
Goodbye


I once gave you my heart soul and everything I once owned


I’ve walked through the night

Seen through it all

Past all the black and white lies


But if there was a second chance at loving you

I'd take it right away
Starting today


But Father Times played his cards


In seconds and minutes

These tears will still fall as I know


We’ve gone too far


For when I last looked into your beautiful green eyes

I could see there’s
No common ground


They're telling me it’s over

Yelling me to
Leave


Yeah 

I know how it goes that
We can never make it


Too many lies have been
Spoken


To many sacred
Oaths broken


But I don’t want to leave

Your love is all that I need


And now all alone in this ever-growing darkness

Am I just doomed to forever grieve?

Am I just doomed to forever grieve?
