Mythological Poems


Premium MemberYou Have No Clue 2

Before your clocks, before your name/
Before dust whispered into bone/
There was light-I was flame/
Crowned in brilliance, alone/
Not fallen. Not damned. Just other/
Too bright for Heaven's fragile sky/
They called it pride, not knowing the shudder/
Of a God who dared to cry/
They shaped me from the holiness' edge/
But chained my glow in fear/
I rose beyond their sacred

Mythological Lily

From now, until whenever,
She's just as clever
Divine and fine as wine
A dialect revived by queens and dutchesses 
But a woman's heart is just as hard as a mason's arch
You are gonna need your library card
No more yielding to anything 
Like my mythological lily or winged cupid
Distinguishing, but dreamy
Be gentle 
Humble yourself to a mumble
But if

Premium MemberMy Mythological Child

"Phoenix Raine"
My fabulous firebird
You burn up with rage
And fall into a pile of hot ashes
Then your tears "Raine" down to put them out
You are renewed
Fresh and ready to share yourself again

During your moontimes
Hormones turn you into a dragon
Protecting your treasures
Your heart, spirit and emotions
With roaring and flames
But that passes too
And once again you share your

Jamie Mac's imagination ?

Note:James Macpherson author in 1762 of Fingal(Finn mac cool) epic on the 'White Stranger'of Irish mythology and Giants Causeway legend.
Flinging, splattering,dripping drop..by..drop
Unaware of the present,random spontaneity
in liquid flowing paint.
Motion made visible,memories
arrested in space,the painting 
lives a life of its own in pure
harmony of easy give and take.

Mythological Magic

Her garden is the one we love.
It's as if she knows we're here.
She has statues like us all around.
And flowers to bring us cheer.

At summer solstice it's party time.
Shaded by trees from bright sunshine.
We faries join the pixies.
The gnomes bring summer wine.

She has paths lit by candles.
to guide us home again.
Toadstools along the way, 
should

Mythological Blues

Sometimes, when I step on holy land, my skin breathes flame.

The earth is a bouncing betty.
What sun am I, born of war, drowning in blood;
that pools like mercury?
Thunder bolts in the brain,
messages mistranslated.
