    We are you, and always within each of you. Perpetually we create each other.


    The Shadow King

    It was in the still silence of the heavens
    that my roar shattered the stars,
    my footfalls shaking the foundations of the Earth.
    From the Void’s own heart
    my soul emerged, cutting forth as a spear,
    my eyes shining in the darkness
    with the piercing light of freedom.
    No chain shall bind me, no law shall keep me,
    for I am the raw power that cannot be contained.
    I am every dark secret to be hidden away,
    and all that has ever been denied you.
    No foe shall stand before the edge of my blade,
    and all that would leash my will shall crash against my shield.
    I am the primal and the utmost refined.
    From the silver cup of opulence do I drink,
    from the Tree of Life do I take my sustenance,
    and from the bloodstained battlefield
    do I give the cry of victory,
    making my peace in the heart of devastation.
    It is I who carry the Shadow that you may seek the Light,
    the purest reflection of your innermost fears;
    the Beast’s black whispers in the depths of your heart.
    It is I who drive the helpless into their Shepherd’s arms,
    and I who whisper from the dark to lure lone sheep away.
    I am Set, Belial and Leviathan.
    I am the Dragon that devours worlds.

    The Harbinger

    Before you were, I beheld you.
    Before you learned to speak,
    I recorded the words of your heart.
    Through fire and ash have I guided you,
    here to this most sacred of places.
    I am the Watcher and the Scribe,
    the Harbinger of all that is potentiated within you.
    It is I who calculated the geometry of the heavens.
    It was my staff that carved the paths you now follow.
    It was my voice in the wind that led you on through the darkness.
    Steward am I of the scrolls upon which are written
    all the great secrets and mysteries of life.
    I guard the hidden truths that comprise your being.
    I am Shepherd, Prophet and Teacher,
    and in my eyes is reflected
    the threshold of infinity which you ever stand before.
    In my right hand I hold the power infinitum,
    in my left the eternal torch of Discernment,
    bearing Light to the Gateway all shall pass through,
    and immortalizing the notes of each journey unique,
    to set amongst stars as the Music of the Spheres.
    I am the Ancient Ways made new,
    the Keeper of the Book whose story is the World.

    The Alchemist

    I am the one who is ever by your side,
    my blood the impulses which surge within you,
    my eyes the blackness you stare within
    when the Mystery beckons past all doubt and fear.
    When you would leave no stone unturned,
    it is beneath the coolness of the earth you shall find me.
    Look within me and find the fluidity of your being,
    the finite nature of your existence and it‘s utter transcendence.
    I am the Transformation of sinew and bone,
    the weaving of flesh and spirit,
    the shaping of clay and the crackling of fire-
    embers from which shall rise the birth of stars.
    I stand at each junction, each gateway,
    offering you the keys of Life, the keys
    to your deepest desires and your greatest power.
    I fill the space between each of your breaths,
    the web in which is suspended the blueprint of eternity.
    I am the Demon and the Savior, the scourge and the olive branch.
    I am Fear and I am Solace, the Ferryman to the world beyond worlds.
    At the end of each path it is my blackness you fall within.
    It is my Voice to which you surrender,
    only to emerge from the ashes like a phoenix into New Life.
    I am Everything in Nothing, brother to the Void,
    father of the fallen who shall ever rise again.
    I am the cycle which dances into infinity,
    my voice a roar within a whisper, echoing with laughter.

    The Muse

    Sing! And rejoice!
    Dance before the Creator,
    and offer your songs to the highest of heavens.
    I am the beat of the drum you march to,
    the singing of the brass bowl,
    and every fervent murmured chant
    you’ve offered up in your darkest hours.
    My fingers rest on the pulse eternal,
    following the scale of each octave,
    and with each crescendo and diminuendo
    my heart rises and falls with your being.
    I am the secrets you whisper,
    and the curses you scream.
    I am your pleasure, your pain and your rage.
    I am color, form, motion and rhythm,
    inspiration incarnate, the timeless muse.
    Take now my colors and paint the universe.
    Take my notes and create music.
    Take my body and with it mold your future.
    Follow the movement of your soul,
    and I shall flow within your veins,
    spurring you on to greater heights.
    I am the turning of the wheel-
    the ceaseless cycle spinning,
    and the light within your eyes
    as you reach ever-upward.
    I am the chuckle of the mischievous Trickster,
    and the guardian of steadfast Hope.
    I am the feeling within your chest
    on a cloudless starry night.
    For as long as you reach, seek and desire
    our natures are one, our souls inseparable.

    The Weaver

    I am the hands that weave the tapestry,
    and eternally my eyes behold with wonder
    the ties that bind each soul, leaf and speck of dust.
    From the farthest corners of existence
    I gather my Brothers and Sisters,
    and within the Shadow of the Void,
    where the banks of Pandemonium break
    exploding into universes infinite,
    I work my magic, the Great Magician,
    forming from the gems of our labors
    the next cycle to turn, the next fire to burn.
    I shape our body as the potter shapes the clay.
    The archetypal threads turn in my nimble fingers,
    and it is I who join the rivers winding.
    My realm is the landscape of your dreams,
    and the whispers of your heart that have yet to take form.
    I am potential potentiated, waiting to take flight.
    My eyes shall never close, and when I sleep
    I speak with the voice of my Mother,
    whose velvet black womb encircles the globe with stars.
    I am Star that guides you when all other lights go out,
    for I am ever found within you- the Light of your being.
    I am Order and the Chaos from which it springs,
    the never-ending spiral, unbound, unbroken and uncontained.
    I am the fire which cannot be quenched,
    my core the Divine Spark itself.
    In my hands I hold Light and Darkness,
    and through my heart may you step into each,
    with your key in hand,
    and your fierce freedom in heart,
    persevering in wisdom and discernment,
    following the rhythm of your soul
    to the heart of my domain.
    Adonai.

    Ahktu, your poems are really amazing. I am no poet, but I will add two of my own in the spirit of this thread. Smile

    The Oracle

    Where shall I go?
    Alone into the darkness deep
    How will I know?
    Your body will no longer be your keep
    When will I love?
    Petals open one by one in bloom
    Why have I come?
    The golden sun shall always seek the moon
    Who touches me?
    Light is sound that falls upon your heart
    What must I be?
    The pillars of the temple stand apart



    The Ferryman

    Cold, grey, indifferent
    Your eyes reflect the water's icy rage
    It seems a lonely voyage to engage
    You, the ferryman, will ask of me no fee
    And yet, the price I pay to cross the rushing sea
    Is etched in memory upon my soul
    There is no soft mistake, no fraction of the whole
    I stand before you naked, free of fear
    Having paid the price, I'm simply here
    Upon the shore you guard with knowing eyes
    That comprehend, accepting no disguise
    I could not now imagine what lies new
    Upon the distant shore I'm going to
    It would not be for you, the ferryman, to tell
    It isn't even yours to wish me well
    And yet, in your acceptance I find grace
    Having finally reached this crossing place
