i tug at
a thin, colorful strand
of recollection
struggling to pull
the memory of your image
back into my eye
all the while,
the taste of your mouth
lingers easily
in my own

oh to weep
to feel the tears, gliding
the joy that is a chasm
of painful knowledge,
the dark heart of
recognition
to gaze into the
eyes of suffering
and see its immense love for you
to peer into ecstasy,
become… fully…
cognizant…
of its ambivalence
to gasp and choke
on crumbs of empty space
to burn with hunger
at the brimful table of eternity;
the hall is so large,
the table so long, that
the head chair sits far,
outside the kingdom…
the queen is, by definition,
in permanent exile
her hound sounds
a trumpet of returning,
to the entrance,
where all exits
meet in a hollow nexus
its howling pierces stars
and summons perception
a doleful remembering
of cheer, unborn
a triumphant, vigorous celebration
on stages of victory,
a victory that needed
to do nothing but roll out of bed
and put on pants…
the rest was a seamless
unfolding of breath and
muscle memory
thick troubles,
shaped from
thin dust
and triumph,
collected in buckets;
it falls nightly…
no requisite asking,
pleading with fate,
to set aside its sickle
but for an hour
no prayers ascend
all prayers ascend
trouble no more for joys,
imagined leprosies that they are
sing no more praises of defeats
leaden, decrepit bullion
all these… fancies
dancing echoes
there are but few
frail glimpses
and each,
its own
meaningless
useless
miracle

Depths
Wrangle up a monster
From the down below
Summon up a beast
That one can keep and know
A tiny, personal demon
One to call your own
In the furnace flames,
An angel image shewn
Burn the picture well
Into your flesh and mind
Hook it into every pore,
Be sure to be unkind
For the creatures that do dwell here,
In these dark and lonely parts
Sing songs of woe and cowardice
Emanating from empty hearts
Little, naughty things
That upon the pain will feast
Siphoned off a tank of dreams
Of which you know the least
I can retell an ancient tale,
Bound by honor, I will never
To have a shallow type of glory
A broken attempt at being clever
My own private monster
Would certainly not be pleased
It takes the choice and refuses to
Be taunted, mocked or teased
All the lovely portions and parts
Hungers it has now sated
Replaced in time by stupid rhyme
And nonsense, well-debated
This is the thing that demons do
And it’s what fascinates us so
All the places and all the things
They can make us do and go

I don’t normally use this forum to talk about my esoteric practices.
But I have received the nudge to cast a wider net, because there are some searchers out there, looking for where they belong. So I’m putting up this one post, essentially it looks like an advertisement… and it is.
But look deeper and you’ll see that deep down inside, in between the words, there’s a message. It’s not for everyone. In fact, it’s not even for most. It’s only for a few. They will know who they are because they will feel it gnawing in their bones and churning in their guts.
So read this little ad and if it isn’t calling to you, just ignore it. I’ll post a poem right after this to make it up to you 😉
Through Monday night only… automatically get upgraded on The Nascent Magician magickal correspondence course.

May the eye of her needle
Be passed through by the camel
My beast is ready
And eager to ride⠀
May the comfort of her robes
Cover my animal
The temple of her refuge
Is warm inside⠀
May I sail my vessel
Into her power
And not be tossed
By her storm⠀
May I know the nectar
Of her flower
And be one with the flower
I will be the thorn
⠀

You shall not slow me
to your 2/4 beat of destruction
I shall hurdle high over you,
Your highness, queen of disappointment
I shall prevail, in the
New dawn form of a creature,
who changes & morphs
into the red stream of power,
flowing through the mountains of
never-ness & nought
The river that flows upstream and
winds through the land of the impossible,
to where the globe of knowledge
floats in a glass of contentment
I shall prevail,
I will sail through the hate and
see the blessed sunrise
that you have sought to suppress
