May there be a secret portal ,
old heartbeat of the earth ,
Dreamt Cupid stolen in his
sleep ,
by Darkness unobserved .

Coincidentia
oppositorum ,
Storm Angel and Wild Beast ,
Union of the Devouring Snake
and Lovers of the Chemical Feast .

When time has come full circle
and the tempest calls to
fly ,
we will meet in golden sunset ,
where our hearts are three ,
six , nine .
Everything is  conscious
and a moment lasts forever .

The sky is painted on
cardboard ,
stretched out by the hand
of God ,
while sawdust covered ground
moves on wheels to the Mouth of Infinity .

I can't remember my lines ,
but speak them anyway ,
A manuscript that has written itself .

Love , loneliness , ambition , pain ,
an **** of fireworks
on a dreamer's dark night .

While overhead , machinery
of the celestial stage begins
to shift .
In that golden hour
when memories fall
like photographs from
some upturned valise ,

Covered in esoteric symbols
like the record of some
bizarre travelogue through
magic , time and space .

Faces shimmer in the
cool night air .
Those ghostly lanterns
then disappear in a
mist ,

While forty-two saints read their lives .
The Knave , a Sleeping Princess
and the King of Hearts ,
all gone now and
dust stops their mouths .

But in another century
blazing with the fire of
a thousand suns ,
then giants walked the earth
and made all time their own .

Though now , as I sit here
in this solitary room
marked by time's passage
and the romance of decay ,

They seem to live still ,
more vibrant and bejewelled
than the phantoms of daylight
and their prisons of the mind .

In dreams they speak to me
in foreign tongues
and in curious manner , like angels
they confound my understanding .

In daytime they leave messages
and strange symbols ,
in numbers and
words that are not there .

The Moon is shining bright .
Their voices sing in the wind .
Everything is just a story
and all of it is real .
The Moon hung low in the sky
like the tarnished reflection
of my soul on that night .

A night spent rambling
down lonely streets of
derelict dream houses ,
with forbidding peaked
rooves ,
stretching high into the
gloomy dark like knives .

Now and then ,
a sound made by something unknown ,
would drift on the dank air
or round some
threatening corner .

Was there faint stirring
of grey curtain in a window ,

A muffled cry behind
peeling paint of bolted door ,

A soft voice sighing ,
straining against the wind to be heard ,

But then , no-one was there .
Eternity shivered ,
trembling at heaven's
radiant golden portal .

Countless crystalline
moments of time
dance , vibrate ecstatic .

Physical objects ,
now less distinct ,
fade to grey simulation .

Gloriously only a
shining path remains ,
Surrender, Devotion and
Pneuma .
Soft cool sensual shadows
play over the almost
silent stream ,
as languidly it ripples
over pebbles and mossy rock .

Now and then , moonlight
catching little diamonds
of shimmering light
danced in our lover's eyes .

The stately willow tree was
a cathedral of luscious green vine ,
swaying gently and communing
with the flying things of the night .

On the bank near that whispering tree ,
we kneel together, not touching
both gazing into the
cool clear mirror of the
stream .

Then , at once , we are on
an old wooden bridge .
Vast plains of vibrant sound
stretch beyond imagination
to Infinity .

A gentle breeze moves brightly
coloured flags
over far off golden pavilions .
There is sunshine ,
but it is cool and sweet .

You smile
as we float above the bridge ,
drifting in the magic scented
air .
On a sacred mount of olives
where they mirror each their hearts ,
In a meadow of wild flowers
where their love can never
part .

The dreaming of the Logos
and spirits secure their way ,
While strange and mythic creatures
will frighten fear away .

In pure light forever
their souls are intertwined ,
Magician and Priestess ,
there was no-one of their kind .
