What sweet memories
of not forgotten ,
lost in an overgrown
garden of time .

Drifting down avenues
where displaced lovers
meet Hibiscus and Passion
Flower ,
who show them the way .

Where long marble hallways
have thousands of rooms ,
and in each scented room
a cherub guards a dream .

Because all dreams are real
and can live without us ,
though sometimes when
dreaming
a truth is revealed .
What is forgotten
will be remembered .
What is eternal
will be found .

Flying through the aether
he felt himself
partially dissolve
into a
more fluid anatomical
structure .

Fibrous and
gelatinous ,
twisting arms of infinite
timelines ,
caress and soothe ,
delighting in the afterglow
of supernova .

When will chariots
bearing the children of
Prometheus
tear down Mahogany and
Doom ,
then sing madrigals over
their graves .

While across dimensions
and the stilling of entropy ,
pure thought streams
everlasting ,
rides majestic on crimson
waves of time .

He gazed at the sacred
bright crystals of Tomorrow .
Everything was
something else
and more than that besides .
In a dark chasm
between thought ,
and in velvet blackness ,
I search for you in dreams .

Shivering , lying
on cold ground
in some abandoned temple ,
seduced  by the eroticism
of Night .

Hidden were the diverse signs ,
ghostly lanterns ,
born in times of Chaos ,
you were my star and my light .

Now , glorious in victory ,
and amongst cherubs ,
and with sacred flame ,
we dwell in a third kingdom .

Time bends around
our many lives ,
and with mathematical devotion
breathes a magic forest to life .

Throughout the universe
is a shining path .
We will meet at midnight
to love , and to love
again .
Another time , another place ,
where fate , with our
unspoken dreams ,
in smoky dim lit bar
relates .

The chanteuse sings a lonely song
of love and memory ,
as one by one ,
a pearly raindrop tear
stains the window of the night .

For the ground you are on
is already harvest ground .

Your thornwood spear for
battle .

Pro Aeterna Veritate

And what each one seeks
he will surely find .
Caw , call , caul ,
the bird , mermaid birth ,
it reclined over the Childe's
face .
Striga and born with a shirt ,
carefully the child shifted it
to one side .

An earthly lord ,
transcending a hero's
archetype .
Fly wastrel to enchanted
faerie kingdom ,
and watch a whole world
pass away .
Byron was born with a caul ... the slang names for which are listed in the first stanza .
In times not very much before his , it was thought a child thus born was a
' faerie ' child or even the sign of a witch ( striga ) or vampire .
The ****** Mary held a
bowl ,
blue radiant tongues of fire .
The light in the dark ,
the mother of all worlds ,
the ******* of all liars .

See now the Holy Infant's pain ,
stigmata's lovely flower .
The spiral staircase
where childhood was slain ,
the monster that dwells in the tower .

Small faces scream for justice ,
now enshrined in truth .
The light in the dark
will be merciless compleat ,
and far exceeding eye or tooth .
Eleanor and Charlotte ,
drifting in sunlit reverie ,
see Marie Antoinette at her
easel
and the beginning of her
sorrow .

How many cherubs , smiling ,
fixed scribes of shimmering
light ,
recline incumbent in vast marble halls .

When ,
frozen in Time ,
two maidens in a doorway ,
pass a ceramic jug
between one another
for eternity .

A man yells ,
seeing people back in time ,
that they were
too close to the chapel .

Look , over a bridge ,
past an aqueduct ,
lay an unkempt meadow ,
where the mood was unnatural
and unpleasant .

While behind dull meadow ,
the treeline was
as woodwork or tapestry .

Flat and lifeless ,
as a shadow without
light or dark .

No wind stirred the trees
and the two women
felt an unease of dreariness ,
as if walking in someone else's dream .

" Wherefor the Trianon ?! "
The gardener stopped his labour

" You will see a fine lady
   in summer gown
   and a large white hat . "

And suddenly he was gone .

Then , finally at the gate ,
a large man ,
in period costume
and born of a malevolent star .

Dark cloak and
smallpox scarred ,
he stared forebodingly
under brim of black hat .

Cronos , Father Time and
Death .

The Future was stalling .
