Soul Mate

I know that this person was born to Phorcy and Ceto. The purpose of this write is about symbolism and the power of this individual. Nothing is real and I hope that the viewer can take  what ever message they wish. A single Malt, well tasted, and a beautiful Versace belt inspired this.

In forgotten dreams
a lonely phoenix gives its last breath
to birth an ancient spell.
An egg that is forged from her heart

This last act of innocence
Will gives hope to
a love caged in a world,
surrounded by winters cold.

Silently love waits for the fires lament
that will free a shimmering soul.
An apparition of emotion
searching for a hand that may not exist,
fuelled only by hope and desire.

This spell that was born in royal veins
corrupted with ancestors curse ,
conspires to cheat the reapers hand.
For life is suspended.
Beauty is in league with time,
her decay is absorbed by the mirror
that deceives the dandies puff.
A mirror that we all possess.

No claims from the souls inside
Only a united bond that peers into paradise.
Reflections of the truth are frozen,
for statues are dry of tears
and the birds of love stare back in silence,
destined to find no mate.


Creation must till this soil forward
for the stars were born to life.
The darkness where she resides
is but a stormy night.
And tomorrow will bring the light.

The beating wings of myth perfumes her chamber
with the smell of dragons dare.
The soul of youth this warmth of man,
resides behind these turquoise eyes
of the last seed of a noble race.

Desire and passion feed the furnace within
But love turns breath into summers wind
and the earth is stirred to life

A molten stream from an unborn star
Rages forth from a barren womb
And the heat of desire cracks the egg
that brings pardon to this birth

Gods awaken, their crowns go dim
As Eve rises slowly
born to taste a golden fire .
One kiss from his virgin lips
and her heart will beat again,

To be the first to see this Eve
Is written in the mirror
To look into her eyes
A secret love revealed
The joy of tasting an angels soul
the marriage of hearts as one.

But touch her face and gather her stare
And love will seek the truth
For Eve will pay her dues

Love is found in the seconds of the clock
And loneliness is forever
She belongs to humanities dream
of Romeo and lovers grief.

Dragons kiss will feel her heart
These seconds of ecstasy will shed his wings
The warmth of life is ticking.
and now the key is turning.

A dragon chained by love,
can never be free
and he became her crystal.
A royal statue to a lover’s dream
Whose kingdom she commands.

Snared in a dream forever
He will find no cold in love.
All will spend eternity
gazing upon their goddess
Enslaved by the reflection in the mirror

And what of Eve .
Tears of snow turn into ice
as the heat of life subsides.
The cry of phoenix
Remembered in the prism of light
While the silence of death continues to call ,
hidden In the darkness between the Stars

And the gods will pay tribute in statue
To a woman that gods and mortals cannot touch
Where beauty resides forever
In a heart protected by the stars and the shimmer
Upon the pool of life.
And her name will be the last soul to die
For she is Medusa
Queen of all that we love.

Divorce V

When shattered our love
brought my world to pieces
from the fifteenth flour I looked to the sky above
saw below how the size of things with height decreases,
 
saw my wife embrace her lover,
thought of getting all things over
 
and my broken life and my fallen pride
rushed through my head,
with thoughts of suicide
and being dead
 
but somehow these thoughts were mad,
I did not think that she was really worth it
and although I was shattered and sad,
I walked away from the precipice bit by bit.

Divorce IV (Espinela)

Suddenly recalling the past,
as coming to life from within,
I dream of you against my skin,
feelings are in sheer contrast
 
but the summer days cannot last,
far too swift comes the early night
with flames dancing in the firelight,
I am lonely at the fireplace
while I remember your sweet face, 
that disappears, are gone from sight.

Divorce III

When something did happen to my darling,
when wire upon wire
she die remove her web
and it had been over another man
 
the pain did let me forget
of how special it had been
to be loved by her
and as if there had never been
 
something beautiful between us
I wanted to find a thousand reasons
that it’s better
that she is out of my life.

Divorce II (cavatina)

I am grieved at that what you did do,
amiss our love
have been trampled into the very mud,
as to remove
that which had close bonded the two of us;
I disapprove,
calling upon all that is still holy,
as you are treating me very lowly.

…… Distant Shores

Twilight song of a cuckoo 
taps the window softly. 
Gothic tree and drooping sky 
humble my thoughts. 
Past was me. 
I will know then 
why your hills turned away my clouds 
by shifting sands. 
 
Was it a colossal guilt of tomorrow? 
Which never wanted to become present 
and enter my house. 
But my memory was sharp 
and days were numbered. 
 
I wanted to invite the death discreetly 
while praising the life and listening to birds 
without dropping the history 
from my crooked fingers. 
 
Between yourself and myself 
a sea was surreptitiously raging. 
The waves were dividing the shores.

You And Everybody

Again you made friends, words 
wanted to leave the paper blank 
for the parched lips, 
crying eyes, 
trembling hands. 
 
Missing stanzas, 
flowing river, 
rootless floats. 
You did not feel like- 
time filled you every minute, 
you were empty, poor. 
 
When you read the end 
you understood beginning. 
Will to die was not sufficient 
you had not completed the script. 
Alone in crowd you wanted words 
to commit suicide. 
 
Democracy was a funny name. 
Everybody was sad, except the lead 
who did not know where to go. 
 
One day you found your voice 
and were surprised 
you were everybody 
when you were hurt, you bled inside 
and your blood then mixed with 
the blood of everybody. Then everybody cried 
and you became separated from you and did not say anything!

Divorce

Too suddenly our time has passed,
memories do constantly
cling to me,
the things that is intimate between us
does not want to end easily,
 
there is treason in each word,
with dividing the only thing on which we do agree,
secretive your paramour waits
at whom I stare hostilely
as if I feel like killing him.

Respite

When the winter chill comes
with the transience
of each beautiful flower
in a own vulnerability
the winter rain pours down
as a kind of respite
for a time on every one.

The Spirit

How long will it go 
this hurricane? 
Let me go, open the sails 
and put the boat on high sea. 
 
Water is deep and blue, wind is strong 
and I want to do it again 
Tonight I will break the vow of moon 
and bring it down. 
 
Who knows where I land 
the school of sharks 
or turbulent isle 
the body will be lowered to feed the hungry waves. 
 
I was used to upheavals 
up and down, up and down 
and slept on pillow of clouds 
who will wash the mirror today. 
 
I am not going to die 
not now but for ever 
I will cleave, my body, my soul, my thoughts 
into thousand pieces, each will grow into I. 
 
Floral and thorned, rosy and scented 
opening like a tribute 
to fetishes of yore 
The spirit must live.
