Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
But until then I'll just breathe you
IntoDreams

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Pray to Argento
The Eternal Seer
And she'll soon appear
From the Constellations
Her sacred Sphere
To summon Elpis
To spread love and peace
To all she encounters
Who prays to hear
For their salvation
So
Look to the faraway stars
Look
For she comes
From God's Silver City
When called
Beyond
The Great Beyond
For your salvation
To end all your wars
In all nations
For your hearts redemption
So
Dance and
Feel her raw power
Heal your scars
Bang Bang
The Bass drums
Bang the Remo Quadura
At any given hour
For The Goddess
Comes
For your inspiration
From the Great In-Between
To save you
The masses
Drifting through all weather's
Summoned by the call of your soul's tambourine
Like a white feather
For reconciliation
To release you
Free from fear
At this ungodly hour
At the brink of worldwide destruction
So dance
In your spirits salt circle
Scream and shout
Feel her magnetic power
Play the drums
Wildly
So your soul can flower
For salvation
Shake your inner
Black Swamp Percussion Tambourine
To celebrate her
Remember to ask for forgiveness
As you dance
Like a random river
Scream like a banshee
For all to see
Gather up
All the courage
That you'll ever need
And call out
Praise be
Praise be
And
Sing
For your forgiveness
Sing for her
Sing
I need forgiveness
Argento
Send me
The Goddess
Send me
Elpis
To be my witness
So I may acquiesce
Send the goddess
Hear me and say yes
Blessed be
Blessed be
Argento
Save me
Blessed be
Send me Elpis

Elpis (Hope) was also an ancient Greek goddess;
she saved mankind from all the evils of the world that had been unleashed by Pandora,
when she opened her jar and scattered its contents.

O Great Father
Listen as I soar
Listen as I sing
Take me
In your loving arms
Cure me
From the powers of
Sin
Bring forth power
To heal my body
Mind and soul
O Great Father
Listen as I soar
Listen as I sing
Shine the light of Heaven
To embrace me
With your golden wings
To pray
To stop wars
Save men
Women
And children
So their soul's bells
Can freely ring
O Great Father
Listen as I soar
Listen as I sing
Enclose me
In your loving arms
Bring forth power
To heal my body
Mind and soul
O Great Father
Let's stop death
By those
On patrol
Let's save souls
From those
In control
O Great Father
Let's give
Freedom
The chance of
Parole
O Great Father
Announce peace
With a drumroll
O Great Father
Forgive those
Whatever their roles
O Great Father
Bring Freedom
Back
As the new
Rock and Roll
O Great Father
For those lost
Already
To pain and destruction
Grant them
Love and absolution
As we pray
To
Save some souls
With resolution
O Great Father
Hallelujah
O Great Father
Hallelujah

You picked this life
Before you were born
All the people you've met
Loved
Hated
Family
Friends
Lovers
Situations
Hardships
Encountered
In whatever nation
When you signed your soul's timeline
Up high
Somewhere
In the Deep Divine
It may be a strange thing
Knowing this
But consoling
All the same
In a bizarre way
Souls
Some say
Need to face
Trials and tribulations
To soar higher
To be refined
So maybe
What you're presently
Going through
Is a journey of love or pain
You
Yes
You
Have planned
To go through
Again
So view challenges
In a new way
Don't be daunted
Or scared
Face them with courage
And fortitude
For to not do so
This time around
Would be rude
Or you could crumble
And turn to dust
Only to ask
For the same experience
Again
With your soul
Entombed in a new husk
So trust your instincts
And I hope and pray
This got you thinking
That all you're enduring
You've asked for
Even me
Via this poetic review
To remind you
Keep going
You still have
So much to do

Are you under Poetic Possession?
Title:
The Poets Spirit Guide
(A manuscript found reads...)
By
Eyes, Touch, Paper or Phone
Let my words
Melt hearts of stone
Through
Wind, fire, wave and sea
I see you
Can you feel my
Breath
Like green wet moss
Creeping cross
Your warm skin
To set you free
Yet
Read me
More
To open your
Minds door
To let me in
Long Midsummers light
In Dark skies
Earth warm
By new shadows
Borne
Shall I linger
With you
Until the morn
Heat rising
Like legions of well drilled soldiers
Called to fight
In Caesars
Battle of Pharsalus
Solstice soon
Whispers of new beginnings
With me and you
Standing away from the
Barbarous
Blending light and dark colours
Where old feelings fall
Like Winters Snow Drops
To be swept away
Like Dandelions
In midnight air
So like twin roses
Entwined as one
Entwined in a brief time
Of bliss
Shall I can call
Back Magic
So we can taste
And kiss
Poetry
Under Shadows
Starlight free
In Gods mist
So when time passes by
Like Moonlight
Angels
I'll answer your cry
To appear
At your side
So by
Sacred Mothers Oath
Let all eyes
Touched or approached
By these pagan words on
Paper
Screen or
Phone
Let these words
Melt hearts of stone
In
Wind, Fire, Wave or Sea
For I see you
Need to be set free
So can you feel my
Breath yet
Creeping across
Like green moss
On warm wet skin
For by reading this
You've let me in
By wilful intent
To begin a new rebirth
So mote it
Be
So mote it
Be

I still miss your bright white smile
Like beams of luminous glorious lights
Shooting from the deep depths
Of a faraway Heaven
Your warmth and guile
My manifestation of love
Given birth of creation
Once
By the Mighty Creator
Here on Earth
A glowing beacon to push back
The hordes called Legion
Prowling like hyenas
In this darkness
Their arena
For you were
And always will be
My daily taste of gladness
A philosopher who too
Has tasted and seen
The bottle of Wild Beast Wine
Of Wild and Free
Madness
So I now call from this wild wood
This wild place where loveless things
Stalk alone in uneven lines
Like a lone feral wolf pines
Throughout this paranormal neighbourhood
For with you died
My spark of life
My ecstatic joyful Sun
My bringer of serenity and jest
So here in my cobwebbed-filled hut
As other prison cells
In Desolation Row
Ring out
Like thunder
In a rising crescendo
Of shrieks of pain and anguish
As we all
Self-punish
Remember me before the last harvest
Light a candle
In your mind's eyes
See our love
Beneath that undulating ocean of pain
Crashing like endless tides
Maybe
Again and again
So that I may still live
If only for a moment
For what I wouldn't give
Now
To breathe once more
To open and walkthrough
That old marital front door
If only for one hour
But as these loud voices
Surrounding me get louder
And grow in power
As prison cups
Relentlessly bang
Like dark country drums
With sounds
Like exploding gunpowder
As I look out for you
From my window
In my cave
Here in my own watchtower
For
My thousand-named queen
My rare
Middlemist Red flower
The broken piece of your soul waits
To be reunited
To bring peace
When your presence
In The Great In-Between
Opens his cell doors
So he can
Scream no more
But walk home
Into the bright lights
With the only love
He adores
Both striding
Powerfully
Hand in hand
To enter into
Evermore
To be refined like silver
Escaping
The Last Great River
Of the Reaping
And Rapture
Of the Prince
Who is to come
To build Desolation Row
For all he captures
Remember me
Mon Ami

(A lone voice whispers)
Hey you
My curious reading friend
One of the bright lights
Not tempted or dimmed by consumerism
Big Tec and all it dumbs down
As it slowly infects
Thanks for visiting me at Halloween
In 2023 again
Did you know all Time is just like a slow-moving river
And you're all walking unconsciously upstream
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 your dreams
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
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 live by a new code
As they walk through those cold 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 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
To help dispel those dark clouds brought about by one of life's eternal elementals
Mr Tragic
Tasked to collect walkers early for his master
The Grim Reaper
Just be courageous to talk as you walk
Until the next time
Your forever friend
From within the long Shadows
Standing getting wet
In the gold and silver river that never bends
Elham
The Lost Angel
Praying your soul is soon purified and cleansed
Through a small act of magic
Whenever needed
As you walk upstream
To see the soul-lifting sights at the End
