Words Of The Mystic

"Words Of The Mystic"
Sheer intoxication from the perfumed scent of memories kiss
Allow oneself to remedy the cloudy emotions sorted out
And through a never ending contrast of glowing lights
Were we not instructed by the Words Of The Mystic
I have completed the task of leaving the body in a dream state
Let me Recommend a new form of beauty from guiding hands
Never stray from the path were the Words Of The Mystic
Be true to the inner self & submit to the heart that knew
Words Of The Mystic & the secret message conveyed unto you

"Dreaming Forest"
Without the trees we are non existent said the earth mother
Conversations with the branches that held life for each other
Trading words of love & renewal under the shade of the trees
Into the Dreaming Forest with my words upon the breeze
Allow me to show you my secret world whispered the Green Man
Amidst this complex garden of memories & our magic plan
All the creatures of the land were in perfect tune with the song bird
And within this Dreaming Forest I put aside a poem & one word

Solitude

"Solitude"
Did you stare through the light of the rainbow expecting to see?
Blinded by imperfections but always knowing the purest love
remains inside me Once the beauty of the music surrounded me
it gave life to the heart within Concerned by the Solitude but always knowing where you heart has been
Letting the music take you on waves of total bliss & eyes which still
adore you As Pagan spirits materialize before wandering eyes & the dimension you pass through There are no obstacles appearing & the calming tune delivers ecstasy in it's wake Save your words & look
deeper into Solitude knowing my heart was always yours to take

"Come Travel With Me"
Who called forth these flowers to kiss away the memories we
cant recall or even find Totally unaware of this burning aura & last
secret words of yesterday left behind Come Travel With Me to the absolute beauty found within the Red Sea.... Come Travel With Me
& walk towards the amphitheatre of Hierapolis & be free
Taking your time to breathe softly as I guide you through Palmyra
by the setting sun Come Travel With Me to the ancient city of Aleppo,
the expanding of your mind has only just begun
See the nostalgic beauty of Camster Cairns, The Falls Of Foyers
& Rannoch Moor & just let yourself go Come Travel With Me as you
open your minds eye & hear these words of wisdom & enjoy the
show

Soul Of The Seeker

"Soul Of The Seeker"
Slumbering upon the edge of the storm cloud
My voice was barely a whisper but mentally loud
In the time of ancient druids when magic was more real
Soul Of The Seeker providing comfort from the broken seal
Attained wisdom from the highest grade which was given to me
Soul Of The Seeker now building walls within so I might become free
And by your side I always felt much more than a simple heart beat
Soul Of The Seeker embracing a memory that was forever innocent
& sweet

Ride The Wind

"Ride The Wind"
Beneath the soil, the poet awakened but it was never a lost cause
Overwhelmed by this undying ambition without any pause
By the straining of this heart & the beauty of the song you now hear
Ride The Wind & hear the chanting of the spirit that draws near
Acknowledge those secret words written by the poet beneath the tree
Imagine if you will the essence of purified light reflected within me
And by the shores of crashing waves we watch the the daylight
descend Following the invisible footsteps of serenity as we continue
to Ride The Wind

Spectral Light

|
"Spectral Light"
Hear the untold tale of purity & the truest form of romance
I set forth along the passage of a cooling wind & serenity
Spending the day of my birth rite walking towards the sun
A journey of vast memories delivered to me by Spectral Light
Looking into the clouds as a soft breeze showed me the way
Sitting in the cool grass listening to the birds call out my name
I am forever reminded of images & photos that my mind can still see
As I began my long walk home & the beauty of light began to caress me....

Life Beyond

|

|
"Life Beyond"
In the last corridor of possibilities we saw the sun & it did shine
Weaving through flowers of infinities new found dream
And across the threshold of Life Beyond all we wished for
At the end of the so called endless path we heard a sound
The strength of Life Beyond & a soul rising from the ground
And at the focal point where the purest Magick was formed by touch
Between astral travel & the unseen door & the heart that felt too much
There was no strategy in the forging of a spell that I was still weaving
Gazing across the dimensions to let you know love is eternal & there is no leaving

Birth Of The Magus
03:39
|

|
"Birth Of The Magus"
When the new breeze awakened the darkness & a muse was born
By the softest glow of the last cycle of the fading moon, my eyes
were open And the words hidden far away began to appear & were whispered on the air In hollow blackness where fractured light gave access & he was called Birth Of The Magus
This weary soul who traveled the world & walked through the
secret maze Those poems of yesterday's dream & the blue eyed
beast with his infinite gaze I never gave claim to what they called
me & the longer you hear me you will know Birth Of The Magus who walked towards the last embrace, never wishing to go
Birth Of The Magus & slumbering soul of the ghost child with the
heart that beats ever so slow

Obscure Dreams

|
"Obscure Dreams"
I have been over & beyond the realm of nostalgic themes
From this infinite heart & all of my Obscure Dreams
If you were to travel on the astral light of my mental wave
Total completion of brightest beauty & my one soul to save
Never ending sounds of bliss from the music still playing
On the next journey within Obscure Dreams where my heart is
swaying Remain on this pathway preserved for the sweetest kiss
awaiting you Hear the poetic words of complete absolution of
]a love that was forever true

And What Of Purity

"And What Of Purity"
I was so aware of the way the wind touched your hair as you
smiled Turning towards the man who gave you completion in
this life And I have watched all the seasons passing me by as
I create another song You looked into me & you told me that you
saw me & all of me, & if this is true And What Of Purity & a poets kiss...& knowing that I cant stop loving you
Understanding we cant turn back time but knowing this poem
is yours to keep And What Of Purity from the one who always
adored you & this soul that can never sleep It is best that you
understand just what you always meant to me & now that you
know... I toss & turn in this dream state like a love sick creature,
my heart is yours & I will never go

Lost Dreams

"Lost Dreams"
In this slow descent on every level of each dimension I have seen
Have you considered the words you said & how they affect me
Processing this language of a mental communication
Through the looking glass of life I have seen every shade of light
Lost Dreams of a secret sanctum & loves truest faith burning bright
Lost Dreams & the unseen eye of the spirit guide still holding me tight
Were you once drowning on a sea of confusion while holding your
head higher Lost Dreams that seem to swirl & sway as I hold on
every word that you say Lost Dreams still locked away like the tiny
ghost children who laugh & play Lost Dreams rising up from a voice
that appeared from a crying sky Lost Dreams that spoke mysterious
secrets to the poet & his heavy sigh
