The Myth of Mythos
"We need images and myths through which we can see who we are and what we might become."
〰 Christine Downing 〰
MYTHOS AND LOGOS
In Ancient Greek ways of thinking, patterns of imagining, and waves of feeling Mythos and Logos appear as fraternal twins. Both carry a range of meanings, which lead time and again to the same essence 〰 captured in the English symbiont word.
Logos and Mythos cover the whole territory of phenomena which rely on and are nurtured by the spoken word ::: speech, account, tale, story,...

Roses in the River
Can I meet you at the waterpark
I’m touching
all your body parts
wherever we are
tell me can I touch it
brushin past
all your buttons
that’s how I get the party start
really wishin we could press start
at the beginning
hard to bet on love if
I can’t see
who’s winning?
we posed to be, twinning but I guess I gotta win alone
face it without you
now I’m wishing that I had a clone
we can’t split a rib
if someone always ends up
picking bones
at least it’s something right
way better...

S for Synnøve
gilded ram
born on a farmstead
transformed
from 1933
rural poverty
pockets empty
dresses sowed
found
from silver
mountainous trolls
hers would be
a name
gift given
every day cotton
silver
protects
seamstress
stitching
refurnished
lulling laughter
looming
bee
you
enter
devic realm
where
as a plant
you will
soar
again

Nymphaem
Millennium
celebrations
storms
harvesting abundance
viral veil cast from Spica
I the innate reconstructed
terraces made by roman hands
torching crescent eye
last layer moon
when summer ends
I bring Achilles`bronze heels
coiled crow crowns
lingering linguistics
hand fasting
through water springs
bridal gown of Venus
Incarnated
as
morning star

Faith
I didn't know what path to take. The Will, or the character within me, was still unspoken. So weak. Blind measure, blind means. I knew only of faith. I walked with faith in the dark soft light, forever borrowing her gracious heart for strength. We were lonely in the silence of unspoken things. I did believe. Any path would have lead me.

Just missed it
Beneath the surface,the blossom green breeze hits their reddened cheeks,of them,
fall,
they fall face down,
together,
they fall alone.
Suspect,
upset,
replied no,
not upset,
a pure heart always prevails,shaking off the veil.
A new creative beginning,
expanding their views.
The news,percieved on the post office front door.
Historical connections and purposes for sale.
Out old,
in new.
They tap within,within.
Reliance on wishes belief,went out a long time ago.
New arrival.
The mystic...

compost
where life
gets real.
.
crushed dreams
rotten determination
decaying shell
of the former self
the sustenance
of the next cycle
of life
yes.
it does not
smell like Jasmine
yet
it does make
Jasmine bloom
and smell
her best.

An Offering Particular
Swooning on stage in this realm
Rewrite your silver into my hands
Selenes red, rinse my insides scending
Risen in pale splendor of sulfur
Airy tears that reach mainlands
Reverse below, send me above
Ageless your breath rich upon wetlands
Relish wanting, vanish together
Regal in raincoat and scuff
Sweet-talk your machinations in me
Ripple arms through mine body like glove
Seaside my lips, supped at your leisure
Adorned by ring with suitors many.
Rewrite your silver into my hands
Selenes red, rinse my insides scending
Risen in pale splendor of sulfur
Airy tears that reach mainlands
Reverse below, send me above
Ageless your breath rich upon wetlands
Relish wanting, vanish together
Regal in raincoat and scuff
Sweet-talk your machinations in me
Ripple arms through mine body like glove
Seaside my lips, supped at your leisure
Adorned by ring with suitors many.

Sky Clad
...second sight. That gift of vision includes not only power to see distant or future events,
but the viewless forms of air.” - Robert Lang
Tis said that Myrrdin lived his life backwards
And what is backwards
The opposite of what you know to be right
Or, not in prophetic foretellings
But seeing after, manifestations of second sight
***
To see you sky clad 'neath summer stars
Skin illumed by the rising moon
New and full, it's danse summons you
Where fires blaze between set stones
*

A Cage Unbarred
- A Cage Unbarred -
All along the road...
The crows gather in black clouds.
Vultures too, wherever they can!
The crosses stand tall,
Whilst those upon them wail...
Piles of skulls below their feet.
Blood upon the bones, pooled!
Like a bloated toad...
One who hurt me, in the crowds,
Of the dying in that hellish land!
That one tries to call,
Only for their voice to so fail...
As I smile, when our eyes meet.
By deceivers I cannot be fooled!
I say unto that soul...
Can you guess, my truest name?
They get it...
All along the road...
The crows gather in black clouds.
Vultures too, wherever they can!
The crosses stand tall,
Whilst those upon them wail...
Piles of skulls below their feet.
Blood upon the bones, pooled!
Like a bloated toad...
One who hurt me, in the crowds,
Of the dying in that hellish land!
That one tries to call,
Only for their voice to so fail...
As I smile, when our eyes meet.
By deceivers I cannot be fooled!
I say unto that soul...
Can you guess, my truest name?
They get it...
