Glory of new-found mystery
The rhythm of the feet now changed
Embracing magic once estranged
Bodies melted in ecstasy;
Like long lost pagan symphony
The moon the clouds in night did chase
Fervent dancers in trembling daze
They locked their arms in restless link
Skies defined them in magic ink
Of lucid embrace transient phase

She jumped suddenly
from the comfort of the couch
wisps of hair flaring
The couch burst alit
Once an abode of pleasure
it now spouted flames
Her hair gushed red streaks
The warmth at her temples hurled
sinister designs
All contentment gone
her face erupted fury
as eyebrows belched fire
Blankets of water
trickled down path of relief
on flanks that spewed rain
Quiet times restored
her throat emitted strange notes
she regained her poise
Reading of the poem:
Wolves hurry
across the landscapes
fiery crops
burning high
Bosom utters not a sigh
crossing through the flames
Horses dive
through etheric lanes
shaking manes
hooves thunder
The moonlit sights a wonder
etched into our hearts
Two to grieve
My breast torn did heave
coils cleft
none bereft
They ask me now in pieces
crescent moon to leave
Reading of the poem:
Mind rising
encounters blockage:
underground
resistance
I fly through with insistence
a trip beyond seen
Meadows move
beyond my eyesight
born outside
they revel
in continued uprising
shunning my landscapes
Like snake dance
revealing the veil
consciousness
is centered
My fingertips penetrate
edge of its tremor
Reading of the poem:
Mind’s tendrils
nailing the target
course reset
no regret
The hand on my heart measure
of pulsing leisure
Within eye
the whispering trees
build gardens
of morrows
bridges of new intentions
my bosom crosses
The journey
a flight within reeds
Ticking clock
awaits none
Elementary treasures
growing from the shrubs
Untangling
sister’s weaving spun
through the heat
that melts all
A riddle for mind to fall
A tale to recall
Adventure
the soul has begun
within joints
it anoints
hands drawing cardinal points
spaces the eye seeks
The light flows
within my body
It quivers
in rivers
messages it delivers
to cradle of light
Messiah Project - Region Of Darkness, Cradle Of Light
Scalding memories
Blisters in the soul that wept
Abandoned all hope
Scorching sunlight dimmed
Shadows played with my mind’s eye
Dusk fell on the plains
A nightingale sang
Darkness covered the window
Black spiders shriveled
A flutter in heart
shaking off obscurity
Wild thoughts bloomed inward
Parched throat renewed odes
Charred flowers revived colours
The blackness withered
A staff split curtains
Shades of his heart shimmered through
Prince of Peace anew
