Volupte Mysterie

"Volupte Mysterie"
Fallen and risen the volupte She ... considers Her gods are found sore and wanting a new life breathing in a new world she walks in dreams she sleeps in as much as heaven and hell exist here on this Earth they are each other’s gods anointing eyes and lips with tender fierce blessings they swim holy waters naked and pure tongues now swords not speaking plunging deep ended sacrosanct secrets written on fresh parchment their skin pale horses riding astride the dark opening their shining enveloped minds, they become new bodies glistening light in precious oils musk wrapped arms and legs entwined cross roads bergamot and patchouli cedar wood blessed lips luscious for eating they become each other’s alters offering sensuous sins, slick figs ripe kissed blessed some heaven burning labyrinthine renewal swallowing a phoenix tale epiphany, rebirthed Somewhere lost amidst whispering muses and the forgotten gods an enchantress seductive and tempestuous hidden in Hesiod’s Theogony holding a key opening a new path Hecate rapturous Volupte mysterie (LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
"The Way I Do" / Bishop Briggs https://youtu.be/p_jfVLHn8NM
“INASMUCH AS heaven and hell exist here on this Earth they are each other’s gods the days and nights they worship each other at the altar where truth lies naked in whispers saintly and fiercely taken they are crusaders of their own holy war their bodies the lands they plunder and convert in which they will not wed for in their minds they are already so matched twin flames their liberty taken with prayers on knees before each other and they are whirling Mevlevi in soft Egyptian Cotton they dance their true Dhikir this is how they call divinity in closer to their mind and heart for you can be certain of that one certainty they are now of one heart and mind closer than any church they read each other’s pages like life out of a novel paradoxical.” 1. Volupte mysterie/latin + dutch 2. Hecate “Hecate was the chief goddess presiding over magic and spells. She witnessed the abduction of Demeter's daughter Persephone to the underworld and, torch in hand, assisted in the search for her.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecate 3. Hecate's Wheel “Hecate's wheel is an ancient Greek symbol and an emblem of the moon goddess Hecate and her triple goddess aspect. The second century text, "The Chaldean Oracle", describes the symbol as a labyrinthine serpent (representing rebirth and renewal) surrounding a central Spiral.” Theogony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theogony Artist: Bastien Lecouffe Deharme https://deharme.artstation.com

Thanks, I now hate every word I've ever written :(. You should consider ridding your words of pictures and aligning some prices left. The words are the magic, not the acroutements that come with them. You're one of the best I've ever read, including some masters.

nah, I like the music and the pictures. I'm all for art and music and illustrations with words. Some of the greatest musicians were poets and both are forever artists romancing the other in my mind. Great artists were poets and lived and breathed their art through music and words, spoken or silent....to me, I think that is how they applied their brush strokes or used their hands to mold their worlds; some were great architects. Many were revolutionary leaders. I don't think you should hate every word you've ever written - I think you have something unique and original - I say go with it full on - you write 'dark' best. I wonder how a price or value could be put to one's emotions and mind. To me that seems like a whore soliciting. Maybe I should give it a go. Just joshing. I'm a complete novice. Have a merry little christmas and let us hope for all of us - a much better next year. All the best. Leanne.

Do you reckon? I have a new concept on the boil in my cauldron...thankfully, my muse is obedient....when instructed. I thought riding the pale horses exceptionally intriguing. A revelation, one might say. pure fantasy. ...
