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 .

Come October
Come October they would rise again ,
steal through hidden doorways .
Putrescent then they take their form ,
in liminal space they have their birth .

Every year they come for their meat ,
driven by some unknown clock.
In twenty-eight days they become manifest ,
their grey bony fingers unlock .

A gallery of faded portraits ,
mark Octobers that have gone before ,
gaze longingly out of picture frames ,
behold the living on which they feed .

It gets darker now once more I tell you ,
it shan't be very long ,
till October casts it's deadened pall ,
and then their sickly will be done .

Three Times and in a Row
I feel them touching me
in my sleep .
That morning I spent as a servant .

They leave signs for me
on the road .
A person's name scribed
upside down ,
three times and in a row .

I feel them next to me
on my bed .
That morning I spent as a servant .

They reveal many things
in my dreams .
A story that was hidden ,
concealed ,
three times and in a row .

Lover's Tryst
The search for true love
when planets align ,
then blinded by cupids
Time serves the
Divine .

But when angels are singing ,
the two lovers kiss ,
in a garden of tulips
where makes sacred tryst .
They were truly born in space and never left the memory of their many lives to turn to dust on some lonely planet .

She Wanders the Night
She is heralded by
the barking of dogs ,
the triple moon goddess
Hecate , Diana or Lucina .

She wanders the Night ,
the crossroads
three ,
resplendent in moonlight ,
she is keeper of the keys .

In time of Dark Moon ,
through secret doorway ,
protected by
wolves ,
she walks with the dead ,

She wanders the Night .
My grandmothers are
standing there ,
mother , maiden , crone .
Wisdom , transformation
and they are guardians
of the doorway .

Black Crow waits patiently
outside .
New Moon in
Scorpio ,
the blank rune , Judgement ,
spirits of the earth and
material existence .

Destiny is power and using
Chaos ,
like the three fates ,
or cutting a thread ,
only realising it was always
this way .

My grandmothers are
standing there .

The Old Wooden Bridge
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 .
Voices in the dark
like Spring-heeled Jacks ,
run down a grimy slate roof
into a filthy gutter
filled with the tears of Saint Sophia .

Dust , dirt , insects
and the remains of dead
forget-me-nots ,
the only images left to
a diseased mind .

They run over and over
in geometric perfection ,

a cataclysm of holes .



                       2
No light for his lantern ,
hope forsaken gloom ,
then run down
tormented avenues
to an empty field ,
under the moon of
Mars in September  .

Under blood red stars ,
without truth or meaning ,
the tower of his wasted
dreams ,
and the chimeras of his
past ,
gather now around
and begin casting lots .

The Eye of Odin
The Eye of Odin ,
drinking of the well .
Sacrifice material for
the spiritual ,
life path number
seven .

Disembodied voice ,
now calling to Bastet .
Crow lands in front of him ,
and a cat leads a pack of dogs .

The Corridor of Meaning ,
a seven pointed star ,
Hamsa and divinity
and keeping to the
way .

The mystery of Pi
and the Sea of Tranquillity .
Two kingdoms become one
under a blood red moon .

Home
Forces they refuse to contemplate ,
gather round them like
wraiths .
The stolen treasure they
conspire to conceal ,
scant hope their souls
debased .

See now the towering
archangel ,
Michael , with his sword .
Intent foul purpose now
costly repaid ,
come the Day of the Lord .

Across an expanse of
night and fog ,
they wander now alone .
And not before
transgression reversed ,
will any be suffered come
home .
He is the Singing God ,
the Singularity of Numbers .
His fortress is my stronghold
and His beautiful visage
is the Horn and Shield
that makes my enemies to shake
and tremble in fear .

He drives them to the sea
and casts them down in silence ,
bound with silken cords of regret ,
then tormented by cherubs and
seraphim and glowing
purple orbs ,
while for me a great banquet is laid out .

In forgotten pyramids on
the Mountains of the Moon ,
they heard the Earth tremble
as He brought forth fire from His mouth
and consumed the Unclean
in a deluge of despair .

The valleys of their deceit lay exposed
and the temple of their lies
became a sodden field
devoid of all human warmth .
Putrid wasteland of misery ,
a mansion blown over with
flies .

As for Jehovah my God ,
he is flawless and perfect .
He is Alpha and Omega .
He raises me to the highest of mountains
and guides my hunter's Moon
on the path of His
righteousness .

Only oblivion awaits the profane
who put darkness for transcendence
and hope for base untruth
and lies that issue forth
from that archangel of sadness
bound in chains at the bottom of the pit .

The wrath of Jehovah
or the beauty of righteous violence .
Seven star sisters were saved .
Delivered , they pronounced holy judgement and
down into a valley walled of black sheer towering onyx
those afflicted souls were cast .

The Keeper of the Mysteries ,
the Black Madonna and the
first crowned queen of Egypt ,
now tred the temple path in paradise ,
where lion lies down with the Lamb
and all expression is as the mind of my god .

Afterglow of Supernova
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 .

The Invitation
Fast headlong I now fell ,
a hole in dark night sky ,
through diverse strange emotion ,
left alone , outside of Time .

Stranded , unveiled and motionless ,
a searing red blinding light ,
rendered my chest torn apart ,
by a figure in black , out of
sight .

Though feeling no base
emotion ,
there was a demon of fear ,
so prayed I sought my deliverance ,
from this being of anguish and tears .

Was I summoned to awaken ?
have access to these works ,
by one lone hidden blind eye
and a chariot of thunder and verse .

But something stood behind this
temple of judgement and pain .
The Sun , the Moon and a field of wheat ,
marked where that hidden door lay .

Symbols rose up from the sea ,
a vision of numbers and sound .
World shifted from black , red to white ,
overwhelmed as the first scroll unbound .
a vision , or waking dream
Sometimes she's here ,
sometimes she's there ,
sometimes she's high above
or radiant in mystic prayer .

Singing to the trees
or dancing under stars ,
running through an everglade
when Venus conjunct Mars .

She knows the path
of Truth and Light .
Her spirit guides
transcend the Night .

The Empress heart soothes
wounded from neglect .
She is Skadi , Shakti ,
Artemis and Bastet .

The Upturned Valise
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 .
Enshrined vessel corporeal ,
the numberless strands
of infinite time ,
kaleidoscope persona of
Nature , Temperance and Psyche .

With serene countenance ,
in sweet golden light ,
the codes of the Goddess ,
Queen of Cups
and Queen of Swords .

With transforming Geometry
of Justice and
Compassion ,
the unseen ancient force
of her terrible power ,
far beyond base contemplation ,

Rains down the verdict
on dishonour and strife ,
elevating the
transcended ,
while relegating all else
to Beelzebub , earthbound
and gehenna .

In Some Dreary Hall
When dreams make the
shadow of their evil real ,
then walk the sodden path
of forgetfulness .

Forgetting of all life , love
and tenderness of human
touch .

Vanquished , youth's idyll
lay bound in silken chains of regret .
Blinded eyes plucked out ,
lay on a silver tray at his
side .

Discarded and unloved .

Like a meagre meal
in poverty's room ,
the soul is dissected and
eaten piecemeal by devils .

While in dead of night
or blazing sun of noon ,
the stench of rotting dreams
shrouds Eternity over those deadened eyes .

She
She
She --
was seen and born of stars .
An evil sorceress had
fixed a malevolent eye
on her person and
would go against Goddess
and Pneuma ,
but she would be rescued
by a warrior .

Now --
adrift between
worlds ,
in a sea of intuition
and hermetic
communication ,
she glimpses an owl ,
sometimes a messenger
of death ,
and moves toward the
Altar of Fire .

Energy --
Matter , Psyche and
Spirit ,
as it came in that
progression ,
all timelines flowed
through her ,
sacred law and ritual ,
until the mysteries of all
Nature were
revealed ,
by Metatron , angel of
blessings and dreams .

She --
would know the taste of
victory ,
she will not be
denied .
No debased or lesser being
would cross her path ,
not to feel the sting of her
sword steel .
Till she would take her place
in Heaven ,
with the lion and the faun .
The Queen of Wands
and a black cat at sunrise .
Four cups in the air ,
a giant hand in the sky .

Hathor , Isis and
how the Holy Spirit
as the Winged Goddess
sends a ****** of crows .

For all vengeance dwells
with the creator of
numbers .
Spirit drifts on the wind ,
hallowed by His name .

While at their
filthy ritual of earthbound violence ,
four holes in the ground
and nightmare fills their void .

Turn away , turn away ,
do not watch His work ,
Jehovah is my god ,
Jesus Michael and His sword .

The Scribe
The blue green metalled
carapace
shot brilliant shafts of
light ,
blinding him , back to
Akasha ,
as Scarab meandered
knowingly before him .

His left arm was at rest
on the cool slab of marble
while seated , as the other
limb
moved involuntarily
from a hidden source .

Looking up as autonomous
fingers scribed on ,
watching as hundreds ,
thousands of
years flow into a vibration
of centuries ,
caressed by the Divine and
the Holy Spirit .

Then into arms of the
Angel of Dreams ,
to ride in his chariot of
forgetfulness .
As above and then so below
and the spirit of Love will
surely rest on them all .

Altar of Fire
In a vast courtyard
surrounded by columned
portico ,
on one side a tall cylinder
made from the finest
Egyptian glass .

There in was the sensual
dark
blue liquid essence of his
soul .
Blueprint of a challenged
path
and where one was never
like another .

Ahead a towering vulture
six feet high ,
with wingspan over
thirteen feet ,
atop a high golden plinth
of light ,
one last witness of Nature
before beyond .

Till finally the Alter of Fire
where
tiny lizards licked and
stripped his skin .
Numbers , lines , stars and
a red light became
blue ,
drenching him in dread
and dearth .

Where the caressing velvet
blackness
met newly dead souls on
the shores of Acheron ,
Abandon all hope ye who
enter here ,
the grey gloomy path of
torment .

Now frozen and outside of
Time ,
a boundless lake of violet
light ,
wherefrom a giant dolphin's
head
is birthed a new galaxy of
pure thought .

The perfect sword of
surrender
in Tree of Life and mirrored
reflection ,
became The Eagle , high
above the mesa
and saw where the futures
had been sown .

Then he heard her voice
" It is the Initiation of
Destiny ! "
And so fulfilling the sacred
contract
he sat down now , in
prescence of the Great Scribe .

Magician and Priestess
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 .
Coursing through his veins
like rivers through
abandoned ancient cities ,
the energy of Frequency and Vibration .

How stars distribute light and time
throughout the cosmos ,
a pulsating neural
network ,
of dreams , memories and
ghosts .

From now until the end of
time and before ,
then in swift current
surrender ,
Tower , Ten of Swords and
revelation of the Dream
Portal ,
Jehovah , the Magician and
Death .

Soft Light of Autumn Day
Soft light of
Autumn day ,
in sun-shower and memory
and dreaming away .

While humming birds now
in her outstretched hands ,
tell of strange customs
in far away lands .

Where surrounded by every
beast , bird and faun ,
she sings sacred songs
and a new world is born .

The Day Before
The day before it
happens ,
everything feels the
same ,
everything looks the
same .

No other-worldly signs
will save memory
of those splintered realities .

The surface of
a mountain lake ,
now cold and
emotionless ,

Like a mind
untramelled by thought ,
not the slightest breath of wind

To move one tiny drop
transfixed on the surface
of that mirror for the sky .

But in backrooms of reality ,
misplaced moments
swell like maggots .

They feed on forgotten
dreams and dance on
tables like a dervish .

Now a second , then
a minute , finally
an hour disappeared by stealth .

When the King of
Chances ,
entering the great hall ,
with eighty cupids , all fall silent ,

As thunderous , the
chime of Destiny
brings all time screaming
            to meet

             Your present moment

                                  Now .
And yes they were the best of times ,
of love and tears and
memory .
Where dreamt I slept black
granite slab deep ,
cold and sans regret .

Night-birds sang above my
head ,
dead lovers called my
name .
While in my lonely dreaming ,
perfect love became the grave .

So despised without good
cause ,
I determined to sleep on .
The rider on white stallion
showed me poetry and
song .

But when last came time to
leave that place ,
and journey beyond that
vale ,
I prayed for Him to keep me
fast ,
I prayed I would not fail .

Attila said where he had
passed ,
no grass would ever grow .
It grew instead upon his grave
where children seeds
had sown .

Now forging pathways to this
world ,
sacred numbers were my guides .
Moon rise over still water ,
where time holds back the
tide .
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 .

When time has come full circle

Season Of The Snake
Season of the Snake
on the mountains of the Moon .
We ride on the wind
like vagabond drifters and are
lovers of  inter-dimensional time

Across three civilisations
and tortured dark centuries in
between ,
from the reign of Queen
Hatshepsut
and in the time of Tiberius
Caesar
when Satan himself was
     delighted and then deceived .

We saw the Great Plague of  Vienna
in the year of our lord 1679 .
Then , slowly moving west
toward Paris and the eighteenth  century ,
we would lay dreaming
of hermetic clockwork and love.

But it was back in Old Vienna ,
surrounded by pestilence and
death ,
you became a being of light ,
in the Hospice of the Brothers
of the Holy Trinity ,
A pulsating emerald aurora ,
and I remembered how much  I loved you .

and to her left , the Queen

danced dervish , slicing

On the wall behind her ,
an array of knives
and she slept every night
covered in flowers .

Niaids moved swiftly
through swollen streams ,
past a luminescent green
magic grove .
Forest faeries in ceremonial
dress ,
watched as three devotees
of different psychic realms ,
communed with their
ancestors and Nature .

One was adorned with
hibiscus ,
another had come laden
with dreams ,
a third one was dancing in
a soft perfumed mist ,
while all around hundreds
of animals and birds ,
began to sing with one voice
on the wind .

What if something is speaking to me ?
Something that cannot die ,
and all I have to do is listen ,
then function as a scribe .

In spaces between my thoughts
or in corners of my mind ,
or memories of dimlit past ,
now lately redefined  .

What is it then she force

while pushing me aside ,
bending my will to her own design ,

What of myself and all these dreams ,
Now frozen out of time ?

Mouth of Infinity
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 .
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 .
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 .

Wild Is Your Matted Hair
Wild is your matted hair ,
like red rose bush on
stark , desolate moor ,
you whisper my

Dreams become
ghosts ,
a stream of conscious
crystal ,
they relinquish secrets
and we are everywhere

A thousand lives ,
radiant tapestry of

perfect in Geometry

The moor stretches to
Infinity ,
lone eagle glides high above .
We commune in silence
as love transmutes to light .
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 .

Garden of Time
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 .
Twenty-four elders ,
seven chakra spirits ,
four beasts , now
the origins of carnal desire
and the Lake , of Glass .

The Key of David ,
controlled by spirit ,
is in the temple
of the pineal gland
and in union with holy
secret .

Subordinate to God's will ,
for thyne is the kingdom ,

triumphant in time and
tribulation .

Chorus of Lies
Blindfold led to the crossroad of Thebes ,
dreaming of the symbol Pi .
A winding dirt track through a valley ,
to smoke curling small chimney cabin .

Inside , a man with a feline head ,
Salvador Dali cat's whiskers ,
" In the morning the pyramids are pointing up ! "
Strange exclamation issued forth from his mouth .

Triangles and crosses mark the land outside ,
burnt into ****** grass .
Villagers utter prophecy and gather ,
sing ancestors to battle , and cry into their wine .

Tender is the night of redemption ,
or sweet angel's breath .
while saints are offered on wheels to the sky ,
and for each dying child is a chorus of lies .

she moved her vibration
higher .
A flaming chariot on which
she rode ,
the ******* of all liars .
Sunshine could be beautiful
if it could hold more light .
And the dark of night
a velvet dream ,
when filled with sweet
delight .

But the universe without your smile
is an empty void where
angels cry .

Sacred love is outside of
Time ,
where heart and soul with Spirit align .
He rose early , before dawn .
Sleep shutters to a stop ,
frame by frame
white flaming ,
burning through the algebra of living celluloid .

Dreamwalk through columned portico ,
entwined of hibiscus and passion flower ,
the meadow beyond
pulsating in glowing golden light ,
beckoned him to look for signs .

                            2
Every now and every then ,
waves of information ,
pouring from divers celestial spheres ,
swept across the gardened landscape ,
causing timelines to excite
and visions to dance before
him .

One day he would leave the meadow ,
though only partially explored ,
and return to the Everything
and all the other things ,
not remembered or revealed ,
having been shown
the Light and the Dark ,
and blending courage with tears .

Byron
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 Glory of Jehovah
When all around became desolation
and one thing fed into
another ,
the transformation of the soul ,
and revelation of the Pneuma .

I witnessed three unholy princes ,
at once they devoured each other .
Then in flaming cauldron of light ,
were consumed by flaming
fire .

Saved thrice by a ghostly goddess ,
the Moon beneath her feet ,
I was delivered by codes and numbers ,
then reunited by her seat .

The distorted dragon who murders ,
makes charge innocence with crime .
Condemned itself to an endless night ,
this where it would endless lie  .

Then I saw The Hall of Vibration ,
a most melodious singing
choir .
Touched the hem of His sweet garment ,
the glory of Jehovah .
vision , waking dream

The Light in the Dark
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 .
