Poem
"The Unlit Flame at Blue Feather’s Cross Roads" Words these days are seldom Red like drops of lifeless blood falling cold on a hot frying pan, sentences are scattered, stuck in Go Nowhereland, semi-solid, immovable coagulating gelatinous, turning dark incorrigible They are watched silently by pale ghost squadrons of Life’s fleeing butterflies, who hover suspended over their favourite pets all unfinished books, dog eared and marked seams split wagging loose tales in glass courts not clearly visible, holding title on backs turned, dusty spines lie there waiting to be chosen and stroked legs of a journey opened up and kissed all over again Sons and Lovers stand still whispering promises, last minute sacrificial offerings of buried chapters all unopened secrets to be lasciviously plundered caressing green hearts like virgins tamed, engaging minds to wrap wantonly around them, non-immortal, igniting immortality and fame tracing fingers silently fanning untitled romance soft and downy Unsatisfied and found forever wanting until they find their flame, a chosen book buried deep, moist with mystery, burning like a candle in the dark unwavering, just there they approach a wall, turning its pages, holding tight for fear of letting go, they take pause bookmarking the winter of their dreams, to now seek alms and opened gates - they stand there tall, burning feet wingless in a forest with many trees, leafless in The Bardo, they wait holding their unsure smiles as coins, mouths pursed and heavy hearts jangling like lost keys on wind chimes and smoking thuribles incensed, tongues tripping full of all their unread stories of times past when they were in their prime and glory There in the ether tightly closed and suspended, a story waits, there At Blue Feather’s Cross Roads where there are no gates Golden Wings are hidden a body noble untouched in a burning bush immortal and untamed whispering seductively your unprophetic name There in the dark morning brightly starless, burns the soul made light, enlightened from the Valleys of Shadow exposing ripe red-worded lips and shining through the glass darkly mirrored eyes, it watches and waits like a bride bare stripped Volatile as white phosphorus Waiting to be stroked and lit Welcoming napalm minds unexulted high not low for a match to reign over slick swollen egos It watches and It waits voyeuristic and determining your merit with license to carry you out of the wastelands from crest of mountain to Cave of Treasures It watches and It waits whispering out your name It watches and It waits - Selaphiel The Unlit Flame (LadyLabyrinth/2019) “This Island Earth” (The Bride Stripped Bare)/Bryan Ferry https://youtu.be/_MpZQFG8IW8 Lyrics: https://genius.com/Bryan-ferry-this-island-earth-lyrics “The Chosen One”/ Bryan Ferry https://youtu.be/Iy5xEUH-XS0 Lyrics: https://genius.com/Bryan-ferry-the-chosen-one-lyrics “Sensation”/ Bryan Ferry https://youtu.be/k1vr9YRvCL4 Lyrics: https://genius.com/Bryan-ferry-sensation-lyrics "Stone Woman"/Bryan Ferry https://youtu.be/IjXglNbAE_o Lyrics: https://genius.com/Bryan-ferry-stone-woman-lyrics "A Wasteland….Wendswept”/Bryan Ferry https://youtu.be/gZkQwaa7kVk Lyrics: https://genius.com/Bryan-ferry-windswept-lyrics “For truly we are all angels temporarily hiding as humans.” Brian Weiss 1. https://www.learnreligions.com/meet-archangel-selaphiel-124090 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selaphiel 3.
