Queen Esther
Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
She came looking for me
In the deep and dark
One fateful unforgettable night
From the very realms of the Lost Gods
Beyond the Lands of the Dead
Dressed from head to toe in white
Like a sultry princess related to King David through Shushandukht
The once-beloved mother figure
So I'm told of Bahran
And like a conjurer of unspoken words at around 2 am
She appeared suddenly after I had stopped praying
On the final stroke of my softly whispered
Amen
She looked me deep in my green eyes and quietly said
She was drawn to my aura as she and her tribe in The Great In-Between
The Sucaro
Had heard my souls cries
For help and support
So she was sent as a royal but loyal representative of the Astral Court
To collate information and send a detailed report
That was around 6 weeks ago
Oh
How time flies when you're in love
You should see her
She so damn beautiful
She looks just like my old friend
Marilyn Monroe
Why am I talking to you
Well
Esther
Has gone back home to give her detailed report
To the Cold Zone
Where the ice don't even flow
A place the living can never know
Unless this life they leave and go
To be part of their Great Show
I'm just standing here by the river Van Gogh
Just another strange John Doe
Given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to say
Hello
Before the love of his life returns
And we retire forever to my Ethereal Chateau
Known to the watching spies in the North
As The Crimson Bordeaux
But before I go
Hear this
All will turn out well between the mighty West and the Red Bear
Some know as Moscow
Esther
Sent me a brochure telling me so
But to stock up
The world's in for a crazy ride in the middle of 2022
And on that line
It's my time to leave
For I can see my stunning queen from the Great In-Between
Esther whose sacred name is Kayo
On her white horse
Shapiro returning
So stay safe and look after yourself and keep those fires of hope and love burning
Until the next time
For it's my time to go
So on that final note
Namaste but for now
In these precious seconds we have left connected
Adieu

(A lone voice whispers and sings) |
Press play before reading.
Salute.
I swore I'd find freedom you know
On the fourteenth of June
In 1848
When I laid helpless in the metaphysical snow
After a being of living flesh appeared
And sold my family
While singing heart-lifting songs of sweet salvation with a twisted smile
Sonnets to help heal old wrongs but the darkness that stalks man
Oversea and land
Stepped in with its damned overcoat of black sins
Looking back
I had the tabernacle of sweet worship
Held tightly in-between clenched fists
Fists clasping the only Holy Grail
The soft waist and small hands I would ever need to help me win
And never to fail
But the Shadow People it brought
Stopped our glorious rise with a swing of their insidious ceremonial hammer at a slave auction
With the final knocking in of their conjured version of Jesus's crucifixions last nail
On my Dia Marta
My handmade white cross they had invoked
The Death Knell which commenced since that unnatural spell
Still lingers and leaves me surrounded
By its smiling armies of willing sinners
Beginners in the Greatest of Games
Between two supernatural powers
Still blindly wearing jealously's green blinkers
I once stood alone in the falling rain
Trying to wash away my pain
When it took my heart
But now
Nothing remains
Spring
Summer
Autumn and
Winter is now for winners
People who now carefully and so slowly
Pull out the sharp painful splinters
Like one of life's big hitters
Not just the churchgoers or pastors or vicars
But lifes true warriors
The tainted and emotionally hungry
Trying to swim or wade through all its deep rivers
And as I now look back in all my lifes old mirrors
Seeing my old silver chains which once held me as a blind prisoner
I raise my middle finger to the world
To the political system rigged to make me fail
Laws and policies
Demons
Armies of Darkness
Beginners
Old feelings and even some friends and lovers in the hard times
So now I stand for me
A newly reborn Gods warrior
Surveying all I see
For I'm unstoppable today
No matter what the universe screams
Or dares to find the courage to say
(A lone voice sings)
I waited patiently for the Lord
And he, in compassion to me, heard my vocation
And put a new melody into my soul
In the form of endless blessings — even thanksgiving
For with God
Blessed-blessed is the man
That has set his intention, his desire in the Lord!
O, Lord! My God!
Extraordinary is your incredible story
My Saviour and glory
My new congregation
Allow all that seek thee be joyous for all to see
Let your love be their salvation
In all nation
The Lord be praised as they are raised
The Lord be praised
The Lord be praised as they are raised

Back story.
Henry Box Brown was a 19th-century Virginia slave who escaped to freedom at the age of 33 by arranging to have himself mailed in a wooden crate in 1849.
To abolitionists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
For a short time, Brown became a noted abolitionist speaker in the northeast United States.
He decided to escape after his family was sold without him knowing, to others, at auction.
Unfortunately, he never saw them again, perhaps only in dreams. Salute.

The Monologue of the Midnight Watcher
My dearest
Are we like the mythical Adam and Eve
Lost and walking upon grey shores
Of an abandoned planet that constantly grieves
Hidden in the deepest of spaces in-between
Our deep neverending love holding us knee-deep
As if buried alive if we could be seen
In a sacred place beyond the grace of living beings
Where we'll witness the birth of a nebula
Stars and rediscovered Old Gods
A new Atlantis filled with wild pagan beasts and jealous old men
We will stride beyond the reach of the Masters of the Masonic Temples
As they line up in black cloaks chanting amen
Whilst erecting their secretive light barriers
As we part the soft pages in our own Books of Pleasure
To be perused and used at our inquisition and leisure
We will watch the fall of the empires of man
With the rise of the Hidden Hand
The Brotherhood of the Cosmic Red Serpent
We will lie upon the yellow sands of time
As the new version of the Great Crucifixion begins
To see and smell the visceral sights
Palaces may burn and be aflame before us
A new vision of an old-world consumed with corruption and sin
For as we watch we will know
We are riders of The Great Red Dragon
Once foretold
For we are the mythical Watchers
Who never grow old
We who collect the Universe's hidden stories
In time to be simply retold
We just reborn as poets or writers today
No longer citizens of any known countries
Just sent again to take part
In the greatest of all unforeseen plays
From The Great In-Between
To nourish inquisitive minds
Which are perpetually hungry
For enchanting new stories
To help carry them through the long nights
As they search for internal peace and redemption
In the hope to ascend and earn eternal glory

The Voice of Aluna
(A lone voice whispers)
Press play before reading. Salute.
To you who have swam
Filled with misplaced faith in the deepest of obsidian rivers and streams
Filled with crimson and purple shoals of heartbroken dreams
You might, in turn, know the true value of eventual happiness
From what you've learned and earned
You
whose once soft hearts have felt hatred but choose instead to embrace forgiveness
To extinguish sadness
Will always someday dance
Hand in hand with old Mother Gladness
But those who hang their cherished coattails on internalised judgemental emotional madness
Will seldom find peace
For to abandon oneself to wallow in self-torment and grief
There can never be any soul-saving relief
Just let it all go
These are the words of I
Aluna the First
The blind Seer
Whose bright hungry eyes always thirst
For those still on the lonely journey on a place I once visited called Earth
Do you blindly in the old silence of your mind
Subsist with violence
Like a once playful spirit who's been shattered into a million pieces
Are you wandering lost but just always looking for guidance
Until you first met poetry and its mesmerising lyrics in music
And in those throes of new beginnings to encourage you to strive to come alive
To try to bloom to truly exist
Did you abuse it
When someone or something cruel made you say goodbye to all those once holy days
When you were possibly in love or untainted
By all those sad portraits sketched so beautifully by what unkind strange people say
Which some in society like to see painted in so many devious ways
Ideals
Principles and people you deliciously cherished
Love or once worshipped
As you wandered throughout that old life sheltered in unconditional bliss
But when those spectacular times came to an abrupt end and you found the courage to depression resist
When you looked for something truly meaningful
To infuse your heart and soul into
Like Saint John the Baptist
Did you find a serene taste of tranquillity in the written, spoken or sung out word
To help heal and give you back a sense of being in total control
Did the years of being a true or part-time disciple to music
Poetry or any form of catharsis
Help you find the freedom that continuously encouraged you to read listen or practise
To discover a deeper understanding of self prosperity
That for you was invariably your implicit goal and a means to pay some of your soul's taxes
But do you now live on a knife-edge with the Sword of Damocles
Hanging over you
As you relate to new and old tales overflowing with happiness or pronunciations
Centred and surrounding like an invading army
A lonely word called Sadness
For a long time ago
People like you were persecuted like Old Agnus
With some blindfolded or tied to old green wooden stakes
For they loved to stone or just burn us
Blinded by pure jealousy or incredible hate
Such a tragic mistake
Just because they thought we were different
Since they lived in an unseen primitive world
Overflowing with such shameless mindless ignorance
We who once danced and sang to Old Mother Moon
Or just spun carefree under the mystical Sun
Maybe in our own woodland grove
Celebrating how our life was run
Or simply around luminous fires on secretive moors
As the cycle's of the world
Slowly ebbed and flowed
Always staying hidden from all
On the mainland's busy main roads
We the old and new singers or poets
Music makers
Authors and storytellers
Or just folk pushing through the mud of humanity to bloom like the Lotus
Well-known or still unknown
But still brave enough to stand tall and courageously
In front of all the world haters
For we are all representations of The Old Seducers of the Hive Mind
For we are all world shakers
We who have always fearlessly walked
Upon all those strange roads
Wherever our Fate took us
And today we are all reborn
But now unafraid to live our true way
For all our ancient ancestors
Now just live and stand beside us in the fast-flowing flux
Leading us forward to celebrate our impulses
Like one of my old friends called JFK
Is there a wild light within you too my child
A strange beacon which is always lit
That whispers to never quit
No matter how you feel for your God-given talent is real
Driving that deep need to write
Sing or just produce something special that can be constantly reused
In the face of groups who might gather and chant abuse
Using all those all remembered God-given talents to truly seduce
To help others sailing in paper boats across humanities ever-changing and dangerous oceans
Which around us all still flows in perpetual motion
Which could easily drown you
In its many deep and conflicting emotions
For we are all human, not sealed-up shells
And so we are all baptised to feel that we are real
No matter how loud the brutes in society yells
So maybe one day you'll remember
That you once with strength and conviction
Willingly kneeled
To be blessed and baptised before Apollo's altar
The Greek God of creativity in but another distant lifetime
To then stand unafraid before all to see
As you turned the key to set your soul free
Bravely standing in a straight line
Whispering Blessed Be
And is now like many years before
Your right time to shine
I think you know all the answers
Now go and play a part with freedom
In this
The greatest of all games ever designed in God's many kingdoms

The Monologue of Jimmy Jones
Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Like a rare diamond
Our love once sparkled so brightly
It stopped passing Angels
It illuminated the darkest of painful nights
But like all incredible things
It slowly darkened over time
As jealous voices started to sing
And as my heart starts to be more guarded as it slowly turns to stone as it hardens
I always look in moments of peace
Like the son of Aeson, looking for the Golden Fleece
Through my two-way scrying mirror to see your realm
To see through all its many gossiping police
On so many levels linked to The Greatest of all Halls
Filled with The Arcana
Past all the secret mysteries schools circling The Holy Cult of Hosanna
And think
In the blink of an eye how life can suddenly change
One minute you're smiling and breathing in clouds of profound purple happiness
And then suddenly in an unfamiliar stillness and sensation
Your heart is unexpectedly broken and put on a runway to reach new heights
In-flight
To find new clouds of spiritual healing and to slow that grieving heart
That's beating so fast and hard
The world could probably hear it screaming
This is for you
My beloved Tarzana from somewhere near Louisiana
I'll always miss your love and friendship
For we will forever be kin
And when your world burns and the Four Horsemen appear
Offering a sip from their guilded bowls
Overflowing with temptation linked to sin
I'll appear through my blue portal to painlessly help you crossover and come in
To here
My new place of abode
In the Glorious Silver City
So our true love can once more begin

The Monologue of JB Sabey
Press play and let the emotional music wash over you as you read.
I'm still here
Just now free
In these new lands of no fears
Nothing scary has happened
All my dreams I had about the Afterlife
So I'm just visiting from here
Just to see you
I can see your beautiful eyes
Which still sparkle and twinkle
I can still see the real you
Beneath all those tired old
Wrinkles
Speak my name at Christmas
And every other day
For you invite me to revisit
And through old memories
Play
Just remember me
Or I'll forget to ever
Call this way
For you see
Some of my friends and old family
Wait beyond this Great Divide
And my time is taken with retelling old stories
Hearing new ones and enjoying their
Newfound glories
So don't forget me
Not even for a day and I promise
I'll always appear your way
I appear in many diverse forms
A Robin
A Feather
A reflection
Or voice
It all depends on me
But I'll always try to revisit
To lift your broken heart that breaks
And help you to rejoice
To always try to stand beside you
Above all of life’s noises
To hold your soft tired hands
As old memories are enjoyed
So don't you dare forget me
With times passing but invite me by name
And I'll call
Through all harsh winds
And the pouring rain
Say my name and I'll appear
To see the one
I still cherish and hold dear
Just don't forget me with the passing of time
Just remember me as you hear this rhyme
And I'll revisit
Until your bell too
Begins to chime
And we are together again
In heavens
Eternal sunshine
Until then
I'll just keep visiting
And calling by
To remember all those wonderful moments
When
You were just mine and drove me crazy

The Monologue of Peter
Press play before reading. Salute.
Like a common pale beach stone
I stand alone watching eternity's ever-rolling seas
.
On one of its relentless sea shores
As God reaches down to teach my eternal soul
With new experiences before I'm buried 6 feet under the dark soil
Some good
Some bad
With a few good people, I've known
A few I've loved
A few I've hated
A few beyond my reach but still my soul beseeches to preach whilst on patrol
And like a stone
I like now being alone for my last jaunt with Life lessons still hurt
My heart got broken and now lays bleeding in the dirt
She came in so darn fast
Like a dervish whirlwind
Kissed and confessed she loved me
As we shared a moment in time where she promised she'd never leave
And our love would last
But that life lesson taught me wild oaths made in the low hours
Proclamations of fidelity
Loyalty and hope should be taken with a pinch of salt
For the Dominion, we can't see
A part of the Occult
The Principality who watches all things alongside the Lord
A dark raw power
Will do all it can to crush your dreams and leave them dying like autumn leaves
In the Universes dust
If in a higher power you no longer trust
So like a beach stone
I stand on the edges of time and watch out for the Principalities minions
Cult members of The Dominion
As my heart heals and prepares for another of lifes lessons
When God once again
Starts to teach
A new type of soul purging but this time around
Now I have better experience
I'll pray harder that I've found a similar stone on lifes beach
A watcher of the high seas just like me
So we can both be joyous for all eyes
Good or evil
To see

Leonardo Speaks in 2022
Is it nearly into the first week of July 2022
And have all those invisible tears linked to emotional streams
Started falling again
Overwhelming you
Are you relieved from leaving all those sad days gone past
That seemed to forever linger and last like an unwanted preacher
Who's a religious outcast
Is it mysteriously silent before the Wild Hunt begins
And do the freeways beneath your shadowy bedroom window sills
Chime with the sounds of the approaching metaphysical hounds of the Baskervilles
Roaming the Berkshire foothills
Crying aloud
Sending out echoes of a sense of impending doom
Does it subjugate that very small room
Does the scent of a new escape from that old oblivion of 2021
Haunt and follow you like a devilish ghoul
Covered in pagan paint strokes and Heathen tattoos
Magical symbols of The Great Work
Only known about through absolution and confession
Old feelings of Hell been dissolved by all your five senses
In each second
As they fight for their own liberating rights of succession
Rounding up calls and cries for a new rebirth
Invoked in prayers sent up to Heaven
Do you still dream of enjoying your old freedoms
Which you revelled within starting at around seven or eleven
Which are now deemed by those sitting up high in society
As forbidden
A sacred place where those wild untameable horses
Of your innermost obsessions and yearnings
Can be openly ridden
Into a new ever-expanding kingdom
As you pray for divine salvation
And a new altar to build upon
What says you
Are you ready to claim and be the real you
