Demiurges of Reality
{ Demiurges of Reality }~
A Surreal Epic of Existence
Prelude to the Journey…
I smiled yesterday when I beheld the morning’s brilliant colors,
Etched with gold, across the canvas of the heavens, hanging…
High above all those mountains of the world, gigantic brothers,
A wilderness of clouds, where there can be no human taming.
I did not always smile when I looked up to that noble height…
For I have seen how terrible goodness can be, when untamed.
Once I thought my sojourn in this flesh was from a divine spite,
But now I know it was a gift, and...

Wanton Love
-<{( Wanton Love )}>-
A Celebration of Mad Passion
Part One: Unfamiliar Pleasures
If thou know comfort in the more familiar things, then be warned,
For the unfamiliar is passing best in all pleasures, and least in pain.
I shall treat now of all the erotic joys as arise from love of beauty!
Bring thy steely will to a place where souls are so hotly warmed…
That they burn with love, and blaze with passion, all glory to gain.
To speak of such delicacies, it must be done in most solemn duty!
From the brightest ideals of loving grace, to the mad...

Amongst the Dead
-~{ Amongst the Dead }~-
A True Near-Death Experience I Had
Forward, by the Author:
“Dear reader, the epic poem that you are about to read is a true story. When I was younger, my faith was unsure and I had much doubt. But when I was in my mid 20's, I journeyed through a near-death experience that was to change my world forever. This is the full account of what happened to my soul… when for but one brief moment, it had taken leave of my physical body. This is not intended either to preach religiously, or to offend anybody's faith. As Dante did before me, I have...

Who Cries for Gilgamesh?
- Who Cries for Gilgamesh? -
The epic of Gilgamesh, in his own words!
Chapter One: The Sins of Uruk
Lo! Of old, the tales heroic, of heroes and kings,
Did inspire men to glory and dangers unknown…
And so was I, in Uruk, called many grand things,
Though in my heart much discord was ever sown.
Lonely is the mantle of the king; heavy the circlet,
And so comfort I sought in ladies of the evenings.
But on finer hope my heart was always to be set!
Thus even noble daughters and their pretty things,
Could not move my heart, for they were oft...

The Gate of Ganzir
-][ The Gate of Ganzir ][-
“Ninnghidzhidda aperi portam Ganzir!
Aperuerit portam, Ninnghizhidda, ego intrare!
Est Draco Imperat tibi!”
Somewhere south of all the courts of the gods on high,
Beneath the mountains where the waterfalls do pour…
Rots the ruins of a city in rubble bleak beneath the sky.
There will wait the siblings, the scorpion lady and lord!
Once golden spires and ziggurats did in splendor reign,
Before the fall of a planet when Marduk vented fury…
Upon the children of the Dragon Queen, prideful, vain. ...

The Resurrection of Ishtar
-]} The Resurrection of Ishtar [{-
An Epic Legend of Love, Death, and Rebirth
Part I – Three Sisters, One Fate
Behold, for in the heavens there shines the morning star!
But, know you of the goddess of that light: noble Ishtar?
Of old, when gods walked hand in hand, with humanity,
Three goddesses, all sisters, loved one special mortal…
Tammuz was his name and his reputation was so saintly!
Ereshkigal, was the sister who took him past that portal,
To where her palaces lay: in the Netherworld’s paradise....
