The Strict Mistress from the House of Books

  


I had a rather intriguing conversation today, 

about the power of seduction through words. 


It's a tad risque.


"Seduce my mind and you can have my body,

find my soul and I’m yours forever."


I created this piece as I mused the above when a familiar voice appeared. 


Press play and let the emotional music wash over you as you read. 

Salute.

The Strict Mistress from the House of Books


(A lone voice whispers)


Within these conjured hypnotic words

Lies my secret binding spell



To you 

Control and contain 

No matter how loud you shout or yell



To attach you to me forever or temporarily 

With lashings of lascivious dark stories


As your soul salivates in total submissive anticipation and slowly starts to weep



Let me devour your curious mind like a cavernous thief

and take you to new heights of wild unconditional excitement


As your higher self suddenly

Wakes from its repetitive mundane sleep


Let me take you so damn

Deep


To new apocalyptic wet shores 

Through exchanges of whispered hirquitalliency

Of unexplored crimson heat



And let my hidden fingertips 


Trace pagan pictures of intimate lambitions and reunions

Across that succulent exposed spine in your mind 


Give me all those deep 

pamphagous thoughts


You keep bajulated

under strict locks and keys


That no one sees

Forever confined 




For landscapes or should I say mindscapes 


Filled with such visceral enticing written words

Brings forth such irrational coercive armies 


Heralding banners of such a hypnotic binding power

Just awaiting to liberate minds in the low hours


Those willing to sacrifice everything they once knew



To then be gently or vigorously 

deflowered


As they use aroused imaginations

To explore new verbs

Or sentences 


Appearing like S & M

Mistresses or Masters 


Right out of the blue



Will you pray for us to embrace 

As these soft words upon your mind's delicious lips 

Are gracefully worshipped



As you've now been duly baptised throughout this


Our soul's reintroduction 


As your hypothalamus is stimulated by black and white


Ethereal leather whip

The Monologue of Peter

 

Press play before reading. Salute.



(A lone voice whispers)  



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 this now red 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

The Call to Sophia

l

 Press play before reading. Salute.



(A lone voice whispers)


 

Is it nearly midnight

My beloved Sophia

Where you are

And are those invisible tears still falling again


As you dream of me


Is it supernaturally quiet
and do the streets beneath your darkened bedroom windows


Run riot as all sinister-looking shadows stand upright

Naked and bare

Does the scent of a new escape from an old oblivion

Follow you everywhere like an expensive perfume

A newly conjured Heaven above an old distorted Hell


A welcoming warm haven to lurk within
Lost like Theseus its long sensuous green grass


To hide within its long shadows

Except for the beating
Of your soft heart


And the vibrations of your slow breathing as you hear this spoken within your mind

By that silent reading voice you carry that no one else could ever find

Can you hear any other sounds like the heartbreaking lone wolf cry from the mythical Misty Mountains


For I have seen you in conjured visions dreaming of me



Felt your beating heart with my soft Astral palm as you lay sleeping and tasted the soft lush sounds of your slow breathing


Again and again

As you deep dream of the forbidden


Where those wild untameable horses of unseen obsessions and precious yearnings
Are ridden

Do you just crave a sweet taste of my red wine
Your delicious lips upon mine

So I can them whisper your secret name to the four passing winds and claim you as mine


Will you promise to give me all I need
With our time together

I sometimes dream of the sweet visceral taste of you


Knowing it will linger like divine-tasting honey
And my mind


Will cry out in elation

So Mon Cheri

In the deep realms
Of Morpheus The Greek's deep sleep

Will you wait inside those wrought iron old gates
In those so real lucid United Nations

For if you do


I will rush to you
Like The Count of Monte Cristo


Through all the falling raindrops


Caress you without fear before all who stops to see

Touch you wantonly so you will never leave
For it’s what I believe when I close my eyes

As I see you sleeping beyond the sacred old ruins of Gilgamesh

Beyond the grey skies of Emersha Amu

I just can't see you


With my eyes open
Only when dutifully closed in Neverland

It's there I can truly worship you


As I travel to warm your soul with my inner reverence


Touch you spiritually
As you too caress me unconsciously

For I need you
Like a moth bows to a flame


Like all living beings
Need a name

I am weak for you
My Goddess Sophia

My eternal wisdom in this overgrowing darkness

In the Twenty-First Century


Let me drown forever
To be lost and spinning tempestuously in your deep pools

Hypnotized forever within your dark eyes


As I stumble
From the stroke of midnight to early sunrise

Let me feel every drop of your pain
As I purge them away with my own cleansing rain

For I am your own rain
For this purging rain has always been foretold

It has just lain with the old Crone in the deepest ancient unvisited woods


Waiting for the right moments to awake as we are finally ready

When we are old

This I was told on my last visit


So now listen as my astral eyes glisten


Do you hear that outside
That lone wolf cry from somewhere mysterious

It’s me just calling

For I can see you in my silver scrying mirror

Any time
Any place
In the middle of the day or night

Beseeching or taunting


Or just teasing with dark promises of unknown deep pleasures

Do not be afraid
Shy or inhibited

Our ancient souls know
No set boundaries or red tape

No entrenched laws or written law-abiding treaties

No known teachings

For we are but two of the untameable
Blessed to be indomitable and wild

For we are truly free my child


You now know how to access my realms of In-Between

You now know where to go


Where I’ll meet you by those wrought iron old gates

This is the great underground stream
A sacred secret no one else knows even when they deep dream

And we’ll meet there ecstatically
Like the Blameless who are but truly pure

To then lay under the indigo umbrella in the falling pink rain

To love with abandon in those new lands filled with no more pain

But tonight is but a long way away


Do you too want to go beyond those wrought old iron gates to play

To lay blissfully under that indigo umbrella and get totally soaking wet

To French kiss in deepest desires
To relight old fires and relight old pyres

If only I could carry your hand from that world into mine


But it only makes it sweeter
Only makes it more cherished

For these delicious exchanges whilst we are apart


Are just our living masterpieces using written metaphors as our communication


As our refound old art

Your heart may still be ravenous
Your mouth still parched


Your arms may be empty and forever still
Reaching

But my Goddess Sophia


I'll soon have you to myself every night in those mysterious dark swirling isles

So high above

An old place above a new place


All you have to do is walk through those wrought iron old astral gates

Into those lands where we will just lay
Underneath that indigo umbrella

Where it always always
Still rains just
Love

The Call of the Demerge

 Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.

(A seductive voice whispers) 

 
I am that which is ageless

For I’m from beyond that thing in the midnight sky 

Called the Silver Moon
From a faraway place


My powers are ubiquitous

I'm the embodiment of all inner magick

Love power and peace
All fused in me 

 

Await release to help you fight any disease 


I’m the midnight shadow walker

The eternity enveloping your every living moment

All around you
Wherever you are

For I'm that which is ageless behind the twinkling stars


For I’m from beyond the Crying Moon

From a faraway
Unknown Place

Of no unions and all mortal governments and secret societies

Sing to me

For I’m a conduit


Forever living under the silvery shadows of the Wolf moon

I appear at birth and revisit at death

To take you home


I’m the full mystical wheel that turns


I’m the lucky charm

That was bestowed to you at birth


The charm I will take back

Whenever you leave


If in me
You do really believe

For I’m a deep ravine
Of unknown riveting depths

Unsolvable by just one lifetime


I’m primal
Supernaturally
Curious


I can feel your eyes lingering


Absorbing and swallowing my
Every word


From my throne room
In which I now sit


Your presence wakes me

From my slumber

From afar

I know you’ll read
On and won’t quit


What do you need

Send me your thoughts

I’ll answer your numbers
Tonight


I'll send some love and light

Or some darkness


Maybe a sprinkling of my glorious second sight

To guide you through your struggles
And plights


Will you still worship me

Your new Goddess and Queen


For I send this message just for you

From my kingdoms

Just hidden in realms
You can never see


Look to the stars

To the fall of the full moon


I am that which is ageless

For I’m from beyond
The Milky Way

From a faraway place

My powers are ubiquitous

For
I'm the embodiment of all inner magick

A multitude of
Love power and peace
Awaiting release


I’m the eternity of all you are

For
I'm the Demerge


A blending
Of two realities


A possibility to enhance
Your own individuality


Will you sing to me
Tonight

Now kneel and say after me

Blessed Be

The Lost Angel, Speaks To Empower You!

 

Press play before reading. Salute.




(A lone voice whispers)


Hey you

My curious reading friend


One of the bright lights in this Twenty-first century 


Not tempted or dimmed by consumerism


Big Tec and all it dumbs down 

As it slowly infects


Thanks for visiting me in 2022 again 


Did you know all Time is just like a slow-moving river


And you're all walking unconsciously upstream 


To the Nexus of your Dreams


Through its wet ever-flowing waters 


Of glistening gold and silver


As it flows from the Great lights

Many hidden fissures 


Walking upstream towards your own inevitable end


Wandering alongside all those you respect 

Adore or even hate


But if you're lucky


Like I think and know you are


You'll be forever surrounded by incredible extraordinary people 


Who'll all try to support and help you


Find the profound strength to empower and fire up all your visions and ideals 


Like a Drag car engine


And not fall as you try to walk upstream



Those from the Lands of the Living and those from in here 


Currently by mortal eyes

Unseen  


Your ancestors like your much-loved forefathers or beloved mothers


Uncle's or Aunties

Sisters or brothers


All watching from just behind this Blue Portal


Here in the Great In-Between 


Who wants you to succeed in this


The oldest of great games


Playing your role in the grandest of Schemes


This is my new message that I send all the way from Jagaroo's Cove



Just for those like you


Who may need it

So they can maybe live by a new code 


As they walk through those waters which will for Eternity


Flow


I can only pray it helps you cope 


More than you'll ever comprehend 


It's simple really


If you're lonely

Neglected or feel rejected


Reach out to someone

Anyone


Or just talk it through 

In the Light 


Never in the Dark


For you're never alone before you ascend 


And someone will help create a bridge to a new form of happiness


Through an act of inconceivable magic 


Some know as kindness

Some as The Laws of Attraction


But action in whatever name 

It chooses


To help dispel those dark clouds brought about by one of life's eternal Elementals


We know as Mr Tragic


Tasked to collect lone walkers early for his master


The Grey Reaper



Just be courageous to talk as you walk


To dispel those dark clouds that seem to cling and with cunning stealth


Stalk


Until the next time 


Your forever friend

From within the long Shadows


Some call me Jimmy O'Rourke 


Some the man from Montauk Mountains


But to you, as I stand here getting wet 


In the gold and silver river that never bends


I'm forever Elham 

The Lost Angel 


Praying your soul is soon purified and cleansed


Through a small act of magic whenever it's needed 


As you walk upstream 


To see the soul-lifting sights before your End


As you look for the deep centre of all your dreams

In-Between
