Caution for ore
On fabled Mirrowmere where stars appear
that crowned the king for which legends sing,
Whose the tower sat above the endless stair
the mightiest Dwarven kingdom ever sat there.
Where we mined the metal Mithril bright
in splendid seams, our heart's delight;
the metal's true name kept secret and hoarded
only a Dwarf's great fiend is it rewarded.
Yet all that glitter beyond gold
made us be too greedy and bold
and so we lost might Dwarrowdelf
and its boundless precious wealth.
that crowned the king for which legends sing,

I Have Felt Your Softness In And Out Of Time
Euterpe, Greek Mythology Muse who represented and was the patron of Music. She is said to have invented the flute and other wind instruments. Her symbol was the Aulos, a type of double flute. Her name was derived from the Greek words meaning the “giver of much delight.”
Euterpe, Greek Mythology, giver of much delight
The redeemer of lyrics played sweetly, felt without the eyes of sight
Delight of the Gods sought in my alluring music
Instruments played of me softens the mind of any cherubic
Blessed with beauty, my music shall soar us in flight ...

Another Garden of Eden
Take me to the land of crystal rivers,
that glitter like a mirror for the gods.
Take me to the height for altruistic lords,
revered by the oppressed for being givers.
I dream of a world drowned in abundance
of joy infinite at its renaissance.
Where the warm rays of the tropical sun
soothe the pains of a bleeding wound by day.
Where nature entertains with so much fun,
like a funfair in the sweet month of may.
I smell the pleasant scent of flowers gay
pervading the plains of awe and wonder.
Where colourful fruits in season render ...
that glitter like a mirror for the gods.
Take me to the height for altruistic lords,
revered by the oppressed for being givers.
I dream of a world drowned in abundance
of joy infinite at its renaissance.
Where the warm rays of the tropical sun
soothe the pains of a bleeding wound by day.
Where nature entertains with so much fun,
like a funfair in the sweet month of may.
I smell the pleasant scent of flowers gay
pervading the plains of awe and wonder.

Empty handed
Standing before the gates of the end
Blue hair swaying in the silent wind
The blue glass gems moving along with it
The air softly touching her back and sides
Leggings barely providing any resistance to it
She'd been just walking to the mailbox
How easy life can come to the end
No cuts or scraps, just a brushing of bruising
Who knew how fast one could bleed out
Without ever spilling a drop of blood
And now she's staring at the gates to the afterlife
She used to joke about dressing in case you become a ghost
Tie dye crop top, black...
Blue hair swaying in the silent wind

Who knew how fast one could bleed out
Without ever spilling a drop of blood
And now she's staring at the gates to the afterlife

For Aha, who suggested the theme. The story is taken from a Greek myth as told in Ovid’s Metamorphoses
And so King Jupiter stealthily raped
the pale nymph Io,
whose kind but stern father, the river god,
had thought her in his care.
But Kings have plans that must be carried out,
libidinal and otherwise. And as he watched
her pale naked form,
rarely touched by natural rays
but kept concealed beneath
a canopy of leaves within
her father’s dense chambers,
he longed to own the hourglass
that stretched from...

Ta Mysteria - The Eleusinian Mysteries
We the mystai
tread
The Sacred Way
Athens to Eleusis
our song
suspended
in the mist
steps dusted
in ripples of soil
hidden in time
in crystalline sands
at the Temple gate
we stand
Offering
to resplendent Demeter
sacred hymns
we sing to greet her
and to her daughter
Kore
who grew to be
forlorn Persephone

Our silhouette
deformed

healing
death mimicry
a strategy to survive
used by animals
and people
tsunami wind
has risen the omniscient
force of thought
forest voice
stillness
drawn in antlers
Neolithic hunter
elk and deer
fish and seal
all swept

under the coat
of a selkie
tundra tell me
place of origins

The Window
††
Cobwebs draped on the window lay motionless,
A glimpse from the full moon manipulates the night,
The shadow figures in the long hallway content now,
Knowing this is the place where they came, and they died…
†
The door to the main room hangs on warped hinges,
That have rusted clear through most its screws,
The haunting clatter still coming from the basement,
Like something below strangely calling to you…
†
It is eerie inside here and the stench still exists,
Even though it happened so long ago,
The floor creaks beneath each...

Floating Wonders
Have you ever heard such wonder?
A quartet of elephants atop a roving turtle
The name of which is A-
Ahh...I forget

The Suffering Of Prometheus
Fire, begotten and adored
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might
