The Red Priestess

The Red Priestess 

Within my dark dreams she always appears and...... 

She sends me deep spiritual treasures 
to read and absorb

By my mind's
Scrying Mirrors 

In the silvery moonlights many reflective walls

Which are in plain view 
but just hidden from all

My crimson priestess from the Red Church 

With a multitude of dark 
confessional rooms

Hidden from mortal eyes
Above and below

Only known to them 
Who are truly 
In the know 

Come listen and hear my calls

And join me upon my quest

She always whispers when I dream 

There's a red room in here

With silk sheets adorned 
with diamonds and gold 

Where you can be my guest forever 

Until you are old

I'll send you ancient spells to drive your success

Compassion and kindness

To leave for others to follow in your footsteps

I await in the deep ravines 
Currently unexplored by you 

Look deep within yourself tonight

With the thinning of the veil between your world and mine

After the stroke of midnight

And
I'll appear before your eyes and claim your mind

I'll take you back 

Through the dark corridors of the hidden cities and towns 

To the Red Church 
of Such Spiritual Salvation 

And there 
I will trace my soft fingertips

Along your new road maps to a new recovery
and tempestuous realms
 
Of such redemption

That you will stay and never return 

But it's here in this room 
Your bedroom 
Tonight 

Your ticket you'll earn
