As I lay in bed last night,
The jaded moon beyond my sight,
A restless dream began a-creeping,
To envelop me whilst I was sleeping.
Strange occurrence, nightly vision,
Seems to keep my brain in rhythm.
With outstanding clarity,
The dream unveils for me to see
What lies behind my crippled mind,
And all the secrets there to find.
For though I lie in quiet darkness,
My thoughts whirl ’round with utter madness.
Only when I wake do I
Become accustomed to the sky
That, bearing Light, bids me abide
The movements of my body’s tide.
So waking from a dreamy flight,
I had a sudden urge to write
About some things that oft of late
I’ve dwelt upon in different state.
Firstly let me beg of ye,
Do not take this too heavily.
For I do speak of Sorcery,
Magick, Tarot, Ceremony.
The Ace of Wands first from the deck
To forge untrodden paths beneath,
And quell the fire born of sickly
Minds whose stigma reeks of Death.
Become my partner, walk with me
Along this road to Destiny.
The Universe in my right hand,
The Fool in left is upside down.
The Magus casts a glance askew
At all these things I thought I knew.
For within these sacred cards,
My heart is bound to stable yards.
Bred like cavalry for War
To spurn a tale of wanton gore.
Blood spills forth from pore to pore,
Oh God, I do not want for more.
Be not scared, though words are whimsy,
Playing with thy sanity,
I merely seek a way to bleed
My heart upon this nascent seed.
For as I said I often dream,
And all I’ve said is naught but cream,
Upon my coffee cup that seems
To give me life in early hours
Such as these, where typing scours
The Internet to find some prey
And feast upon, then call a day
But that enchantment I delay.
I know you will not comprehend
The message I am trying to send,
For thoughts like these are beyond mend.
Enough, enough, enough, enough.
…
I need a cigarette.
That’s the stuff.
And so it ends.
Dark Blessings and Good Will to all of You.
