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

The Man who talked to Butterflies

  


Press play before reading. Salute.



(A lone voice whispers. Lost in deep reflection. Musing in the throes of spiritual introspection - to a butterfly)





And so it rained outside and even inside

For what seemed like forty days and forty nights



As I wandered lost in that yellow lonely deserted

Judean Desert
Alone




When the hard times and the whispering low vibrational voices came


On the Mount of Temptation



Fluctuating between mild and wild feelings
Intermixing with the sound of falling rain in the distance



Then peaking to unknown or unexplored heights of demoralising anxiety with no limits or resistance


To finally merge together to twirl their silver big band batons high



As they danced in absolute unrestricted low vibrational ecstasy

Underneath that grinning red sky



Unfurling

All the hidden memories and opaque trophies of troubles and strife




Which they summoned from so many others to be returned


Petitions for a means to atone

Twisted and contorted thoughts


Which opened my mind like I was being stabbed like a market robbery victim



With the Devil's sharp knife



But as I knelt and prayed


With my eyes shut thinking about the living masses

Weighed up all the pros and cons


Imaging all the endless happiness



Still to be found within all seemingly sorrowful lives



A vision of a white cross suddenly appeared
And some soft eloquently spoken words

Echoed throughout my ears



Do not be scared of this life and all its many fears

Do not be scared to shed some sad tears for yourself or others



The happy days are soon to come



Keep your faith in this voice


Your version of the one true One


For we are many
And we appear everywhere

As in this form
He allows you to still run



For when your time is recalled by your final act in this endless chapter of life


On the cross


So many will be saved and rescued from the mighty fall to Abaddon


The Dark Lands of the Fallen Ones



And so I'll walk on smiling
For I know now
Beyond all doubt



My soon-to-be death in Golgotha would be my ultimate gift to the world

Today and forevermore



So who am I
To dare to be late

When the world I see before me
Needs to be irrevocably changed



From Bethlehem to all the many other bent city gates


For they are all filled with green rivers of jealously



And gushing winds carrying sharp spears of fear and with so many foolishly condemning others



By false accusations
Spreading hate



All I can do is play my role to perfection
If it only saves just one poor soul



What a better way to serve my version of my Holy Father


For I now know to follow which path is my destination Home


The one I have no control over

For all life
Even mine

Reads like a precious whole poem


Just that mine will begin and end in a timeless loop

When I arrive

To stand bravely upright
Before the baying crowds

In Old Golgotha




Thanks for listening
My friend who I'll call

Mary

In the form of a beautiful white butterfly

My mother

Who I can only pray
I'll see once more

Before the day I die
