The Soul Broker

 (A seductive voice whispers.)

Hey

You  

Beyond the holy lights 

Want me 

To make 

You a star

Hey

You  

Beyond the holy lights 

Sat in your fortress 

Reading this in sunlight or darkness

Safely

Seated 

Hey

You  

Beyond the holy light

Want me to make 

You a star

Hey

You  

Beyond the holy lights 

With time as your

Loving whore

With hungry eyes 

Quickly bored

Want me

To make 

You a star

Call to me quick 

Call to me

So you 

I can pick

And fix

Pray for me 

To appear 

To rise by your side

And

Mama I'll make 

You a star

All you have to do

Is sign in blood

A tiny prick

On your fingertip

And 

Mama

And Mama

I'll make you 

A star

Enochian Whispers

    

I am the low whisper 

Heard faintly

In the frequencies 

In-between

The soul changing winds Of metamorphosis 

To guide you from sin

If you let my voice in

Love songs

I softly sing 

To help lovers 

Find their twin

I'm the open ocean

For some to swim

The heat to defeat cold emotions 

And although I walk in silence

Between the spaces In-between

I'm the loudest voice 

Ever heard or seen

The King or Queen 

Who's as strong as steel

The gleam in a new midnight sky

A treasure

Yours to find and hold on to

Before you die

The sweet smile on your soft lips

That shiver across your spine

Like the touch 

Of a lone fingertip

The reflection in your mirrors eyes 

The blessing to be found

Behind

Whenever you've cried

A heavenly gift that never sleeps 

Overground

The sound you'll hear 

When you pray 

Who's always around

For I'm endless

And so profound

The lone walker 

In the Underground Stream

Whenever you dream

The seed you'll need

To know

To grow 

The purple flower

In the middle 

Of your life's stream

Who follows you

Wherever you go

I bring faith will me

As a free gift

For you to always believe 

To cure 

And relieve 

If you need a lift

And though you cannot see me

I sail behind you upon your lifes many tides

Some soft

Some wild

For it's all just a brief ride

A secret friend

Bestowed from up High

Glad to meet you

And someday we'll meet

Best wishes

For I'm your eternal

The Oracle of Acheron

 

(A lone voice whispers.)

He who fights with the most holy of ways

Will never return

Until they have learned

As new trees are made

By lay played

In so many wet insidious ways

By those hidden in the chasms

In the faraway stars

For people should be careful 

For without faith

In any form 

The nearby Darkness can open a gateway to sin

And if that abyss is opened

Revealing 

Desolations

Fatal sandstorms

It gets so much harder 

To let hope in

So O ye

O ye 

I summon by the Purple Flame

Virtue 

By the Divine Will of God

To guide you

Amen

Through Acheron

So you can 

Once more

Run
