The Crier
The Crier stands there, on the platform, overlooking the darkness, toward where our legends say, our saviour waits for a true soul to call him to wakefulness. The crier is a big man, full of life, but in a strange way, he and I are similar. He is to try just one more time to waken our Saviour with his "soul call". If he fails he may never return to try again. Tonight will be my last watch, the lung eaters that come out of the darkness have slowly but surely destroyed my lungs and now it is only time before I can no longer breath and I will pass on to my reward. I am not sorry that this will...

Turn into stone!
Medusa's riddle:
What is a Bone
without a stone?
Oedipus is on fire...
Is on fire!
Is on fire!
Oedipus is lost.
Is blind.
Is in love.
Gods hate him...
Gods hate the sphinx!
Gods hate
a bunch of things.
Such as Chimaera,
no snakes,
no turns...
no peebles!
Cupid takes
Prometheus for a flight
over
Icarus' house!
House of oblivion!
Thousands of rooms!
Labyrinth of noneness...
Unforgiven Cyclops.
On a horse...
not like any sea...

All Will Be Revealed
Hot milk and an early night
could not prepare me
for the 3 am visions
on my bedroom ceiling
or for the mysterious and compelling
impromptu voice
from the Google Home speakers
Not wishing to fall behind the times
and invoking his infinite wisdom
it seems Ggod has decided to offer
Apple and Microsoft style updates
to the good book
which is henceforth to be known
as the Wible
With the goal
of enhancing and improving
modern user experience
Hhe has tasked me
with rewriting various sections ...

Idibera
Dawns the Autumn.
A Poem opens itself.
Some wings spread.
Flowers blooming
everywhere.
Eyes wide close.
Eyes of wide read.
Open, doors, letters.
Secret Diaries revealed.
Scars still beating.
Signs, gods, runes.
Above the waters
arrises the mist.
Days and waves
keep on building
its Cathedrals.
Sleeps
in my hand
a non-important
poem
an unknown name

Mythical Fling
I saw you soaring upon the back of your dragon as a Valkyrie
And me no more than a woodland elf stretching my bow as if in slavery
With so many to do your bidding, when will it ever be my chance
There are so many in order before me waiting for your glance
But I smell of the prophecy, your dragon knows my scent
My dreams are ravaged savagely, the darkness will never relent
Just being near you as I go about my duties among the the trees
It's only your dragon that can hear and feel my heart's pleas
The simple thought of a Valkyrie and...

Artemis
Artemis
Deep fire blue
Of Gaia's ocean from the moon
Where Luna laughs on the dark side
With Chantilly lipstick prism lace
Whose rainbow is the crescent earthrise
That Luna lassoes in fiery tresses
Like a sliver of night
In the tentacle trance of Medusa Mysticism

King Arthur and the Cauldron of the Goddess
- King Arthur and the Cauldron of the Goddess -
I shall in these words of verse, thus poetic in the form so woven thereof,
Now tell a tale that shall to certain ears seem to be most passing strange.
When ancient were the days, but never so ancient as what came before...
In the time when the birds of certain goddesses, flew in the skies above,
It was in those days when Glastonbury was an island, ere things changed.
Arthur was a king over the land, and sought to be lord over much more!
Forth he went in questing, with twelve companions marching with...

A TRIP!
When i first entered
The fair land of Fae
I expected fairies
Witches, Unicorns, Dragons
Perhaps a fairy castle
And quaint little fairy houses
But instead
It was like a cocktail
Of Carnaby Street
Old Soho
A Midsummer Night's Dream
And Star Wars
It was really wild
I now in fact live there
The lunatics are on the grass
Playing music, and singing
And quaffing gallons of ale
I felt as though i was in Paradise
But ended up in jail
Apparently
I was found wandering around
Hastings

Vampire Passion
Vamparic Passion..
Her body lay on the red velvet bed
black roses covered her bust
he hungrily stared down at her
an uncontrollable lust
he ran his hand across her body
caressing every curve, every part
he pressed his body against hers
quietly he listened to the increased beating of her heart
he ran his fingers threw her raven hair
stared deeply into her eyes
echoing threw the room
were her satisfied cries
he stared down at her soft white throat
and slowly pressed his mouth against it
he eagerly began to drink ...

Liberation from Troy
Liberation from Troy
She guards the gate to the western sky
Where the fireball casts shadows
On the orchard of immortality
Where golden apples are kept
In the tree of eternal life
Protected by a fire-breathing dragon
That she rides over the azure waves
Of the boundless Oceanus sea
That rings the known world
When seeking a kind of freedom
That only flight can bring
But her sisters desert the garden
To watch the myth of wings unfold
And Heracles steals the fruit of knowledge
Given to Aphrodite
for her promise...
