The Ancient Laws

There is a sacred beauty within everything

the holy mark of light

within each breath

each word

each movement of life

~

This silence fills me

and I cannot turn away from

the eloquence of it

and yet, 

you ask me to shape language

around you

painting, somehow

the symbols that return us

to grace

~

Poetry is prayer

or at least a reaching toward you

for it is any distance from you

that I cannot bear

~

Fill my mouth 

with shapes of light

that I may speak your name

~

Fill my hands 

with every color of mercy

that pleases you

and 

brings you close to me

The Vestige of Night Laughter

~~

~

~ ~~~~ ~

~~

~

We are all given darkness

and an accompanying light

whatever is lost to us in the shadows

we can only find inside the sable path

~

only the dark angel

unveiling the night within us

and the ethereal fluid 

the laughter of starlight

traces of silver motioning North 

 the mystical compass

inside his sable cloak

~ 

it calls to all of us

the hidden journey of night

what we have lost into darkness

we cannot find inside of light

~

 open the hermetic veil

 the cloak blackened mystery

potent uncertainty, fluid with grief

 enter this darkness

 with it's trace of silvered laughter

 the North Star, glittering of steps

paths etched of light

 a motion of truth

toward wholeness 

 the harmony of opposites

a spherical holiness

the paradoxical embrace

~~~~

~~

~

We are guided by dark laughter 

through the shadow lands

a hidden map of starlight

inside of our breath

Storm Energy

~~

I am listening

as a storm draws close to me

the lightening echos

inside of darker skies

~

and here, I wait for you

between worlds

while our bodies find each other

within a quiet rhythm
of imagination
and the memory of light

~

trust me

and this ancient instinct

it will cause you nothing but beauty

and the thunder 

of your own pleasure
~
when the magnetic angels collide
their holy bodies
of electricity
ignite
ancient fusion~ the mercurial storm
sulphuric flame
silver light, the lunar dust
venetian indigo
dark saturnian glass
everything is erupting
emptying
into
spheres
and the linear arch
of a dream

 Isle of Skye

~

Soliloquy

~

Songs of water, song of stars
~

~

Sometimes we are brought

by some mercurial drift

of currents

moving northward

within the grieving water

within a deepening dream

The northern isles
ancient ones, mages
 journey on paths of light
star guided - between worlds
a Chironic effort
to drift north
the distant mystery
flowing through their veins
as maps of heaven
flow endless inside the sea

The northern isles
sing to them
a memory
across dark waters
beyond an enchantresses reach
the old ones gather
Swirl of Odin, Circe's scent
hoof of Pan

The names of everything
language of songs~ of earth, of sea
the names of everything
bloom of muse
incanting skybound
drawing close the mystery
soliloquy of stars
emptying
into
 oceans of light
becoming
the ancient word

"Ile d'Iona" Soliloque~Prieres du vent, priere de la terre

The Isle of Iona

~

Soliloquy
~
 Prayers of wind, prayer of earth

~

~

There is an echo

 of incantation

that we whisper alone

Imagination reaches

across moments of time

as distance will collapse

inside the linear expanse 

of a wish

Stones of solitude

encompass the mystical earth
 as the wind is speaking
an ancient language

without words

Breathe

into me

as I breathe

into you

alone on the isle

you are here within me

and everything is within us both.

~

~

~~~

The language of Soliloquy

is the language of One

and the language of all...

The ancient memory

~ ~~~~ ~

There was something hidden deep within me

....something I have kept hidden from you

It has been with me since the beginning of time

carried across thresholds

through moments of hours

and the slow unfurl of centuries

The fullest bloom in the Garden from long ago

petals shaped of light

shimmering

every color the worlds would ever know

and the soft glow of colors not yet imagined

flowing through the roots

the incandescent stem

Deeply buried scent of stars

petals are breathing

the winds of heaven

and essence whispered

into

the blossoming light

I have kept it hidden

reshaped to seed

small

small enough to carry

across doorways of time

within me

The fullest bloom I have kept 

from our Garden long ago

a hidden seed

my gift for you

carried through time

to find you again

The seed breaks open

in the breath of your laughter

and gardens of Light

are blooming

inside of you

blooming

inside of me

The Night Journey
~~~~
~~
~
A path
unveiled
 colors of midnight
gathered
infusion
the darkened ink

sky vault
harness the unknown
no steps
to trace
no map

breath quickened
silvered thick
the uncertainty
inside darkness
inside the soul

bewildering bloom
open the gate
breathe the glow
of sparkled light
that will guide you
deeper
into the fire
of stars
~

 ~
Enter the night
and journey there
releasing
the world
and your idea of light

Into darkness
the onyx veil
will reveal
an intimacy
of colors

Alchemical union
palette of noir
pure amalgam
of color melts
a scent of light
into the quiet winds

Breathing
 movements of time
into the Night Journey
 and paths of dark sky

Travel this way
and you will know
the taste of Love
the Mercy within all things
