As years turn into decades
Look back and find the patterns
The points upon which life pivots
The lines that were crossed
The success, the defeat
The moments where life
Rinses then repeats
And over time you shall see
Far in to the future
Find what defines you and you will know the way.
Overused and so often confused with varying emotions, love is both elusive and a certitude. You will know if it is in your life without question. It is a sacred bond beyond the realms of cult and its religious dictate. A bond that few will experience and thus the masses will use the word to describe their euphoria, desire, lust, longing and hurt. Demonstrating in the process the absence of love in their lives.
Akin to the sprites
From the land of my birth
She danced, then posed, then laughed
Then curling her toes
Deep in to the sand
She reached out with soul
And whispered her craft
Come with me
To the edge of the desert
In search of wisdom and light
We shall taste infinity
And a thousand other delights
And so I followed her every step
To a place where time was no more
A tangible dream
A delectable scene
The incarnation of some ancient lore
In to her arms
I was bound
As heart and soul intertwined
And it was here
That I found my end
As I faded in to the divine
Upon a corner chair made of ornately carved French oak sat the man of the hour. His eyes were but shadows as a single overhead white light beamed down upon his skull and sharpened his features.
He was not alone. Just out of his reach sat a woman dressed in white. Her bare back turned to him, straight and toned from the base of her spine to the arcane symbol tattooed upon her neck. Her jet black hair took the form of an inverted V with tips that disappeared over her shoulders. Her legs were hidden underneath a skirt that sprawled across the floor to form a half circle before her. Upon her lap, between her hands, she held a silver chalice engraved with another arcane symbol. From it slivered a wisp of smoke that rose towards her painted face. She inhaled then held her breathe and time seemed to stop in that instant.
The first ritual was now complete.
Life moves on
Even when the vultures soar
Above and beyond
The threats to our fragile existence
We remain
Defiant and eager to breathe
For nature abhors a vacuum
Let me borrow your smile
While I cruise through this reality
Where nerves and circuits intertwine
Electric minds
In search of the divine
So close
Yet somehow
Pass each other by
A soul searcher
Of little experience
Still looking for a way
Out of the cocoon
Is this a test?
The mind wonders
Into questions
And the answers
Fade
With the process
